President Trump’s strategy to “flood the zone” may be working to keep his approval rating from sinking even lower. [That's why Trump likes to make a nothing burger like "86" into a "news story".]
Voters who have not heard much about some of the many major news events from the first 100 days of Mr. Trump’s second term have a higher opinion of the job he is doing, according to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll. A little under half of the 42 percent of voters who approved of the job Mr. Trump is doing as president said they had not heard much about at least some of the ups and downs of his administration’s decisions.
