From Jonathan Bernstein:
We’re now more than a week into heavy coverage of Donald Trump’s policy of separating migrant families — but it’s already hard to argue that the backlash has dented the president’s approval ratings.
As I write this, FiveThirtyEight estimates Trump enjoys an approval rating of 42.5 percent — a bit higher than in early June, and basically the best since his brief — and historically bad — honeymoon after taking office.
“Why hasn’t the story hurt Trump?”
Look at the people who have either supported him all along or come to support him over time, regardless of anything else he has said or done. There is no mystery.
