People, Personas, and Politics 25 – Polling Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner April 13, 2017 [Beginning of recorded material] Rick Rosner: We know from reporting on him in the White house that he watches hours of news every day. His popularity didn’t pop very much. He didn’t get much of a pop in approval for this. Depending on the polls that you look at, if you look a Gallup, he hung steady at 40% approval. This is day 83 in office. There are 83 days of polls available. On zero of those days did he rise to majority approval, which is unprecedented since they started polling during FDR’s administration But he is probably being reinforced for his – what he considers his – manly stands and belligerence with North Korea. Obama took a more measured approach. Probably the deal with North Korea is that they’re going to – given their history over decades – continue to do what they want, they will continue to defiantly developed their nuclear and missile programs until offered incentives to back off for a while. But that way of doing things, it assumes the leaders over there aren’t self-destructive assholes. That what they do over there. Their own unconcern and belligerence is some way of gaining advantage to be paid off to stop the programs over there. But if Kim Jong-un is crazy/stupid, and is the one who is calling all of the shots, he may not be entirely pay-offable. So it’s terrible over there because you’ve got a potentially crazy guy with Nukes and at least a belligerent asshole. You could argue that you have belligerent assholes with nukes on both sides, but Trump will continue to do what he gets positive reinforcement for – and I think he feels as if he got positive reactions to launching 59 missiles into Syria. Even though, they did very little, at least strategic, damage.
