Opinion | Republicans insist that Trump is hugely popular. His approval ratings say otherwise.
New surveys suggest he’ll face the same widespread public opposition in his second term that he faced in his first.

It's so obvious that no explanation is needed. There are plenty of reasons to accompany the primary ones, that he is a consistent, aggressive liar, that he is a convicted felon, and that his obsession with himself turns off most people.
But, the Republican Trump supporters will try and fail to sell him as immensely popular, which is just a pipe dream. So, lets look at some unquestionable facts:
He won the Popular Vote by less than 1.5%.
The House and Senate are both Republican by razor thin margins.
In his first term Trump "was the only president going back to Truman to enter office with an approval rating of less than 50%, and he never rose above
50% for his entire term."
At the present time his approval and popularity ratings are somewhere around 45-49%.
Republicans want him to be considered popular, dangerous would be a more accurate expectation.
