Whew, Trump polling at -18

I was digging into the crosstabs on the Economist's web page. And it seems like there is some weird selection bias in this poll.

Only a handful of states actually had Trump above water, and in only one state (Idaho) was Trump in a very positive position (+30). The rest (Montana, North Dakota, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama) were at about +5. Even in Texas he was twenty points underwater.

That either is really bad news for them or something might not be right here.

So 9 percent of people in the USA attended a No Kings Rally? That would put rally attendance at about 28 million people.

This was a yougov poll so there is some self-selection bias.

And his approval on the specific issue of inflation (an issue that largely got him voted into office) he is over thirty points underwater.

In every category he is underwater
