"But does the standard presidential approval question actually capture
what voters think of Trump’s job performance? There are several reasons
it might not tell the full story. For one, in this hyper-partisan era,
presidential approval numbers have become increasingly polarized and
don’t move around all that much, so they may now say more about which
“side” people are on (pro-Trump or anti-Trump, Republican or Democrat)
than voters’ actual evaluation of how the president is doing."

Via Hank G. who wrote "Interesting study but not sure how predictive or
useful it will be. Still an interesting new way of looking at the
opinion space." and Isaac Kuo.
