This morning MSNBC noted that while Trump’s approval ratings are in the mid-30’s, in the so-called “surge counties,” where Trump did exceedingly well last November, his approval ratings hover around 55%. The report mentioned Carbon County, Pennsylvania, as an example of a “surge county.” The map of those counties indicated that most of them were in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
I know that we are supposed to understand the desperation of people who supported Trump in 2016. We are supposed to feel their pain, listen to their cries for help, understand their anger.
On the other hand, I do like my friend’s take on this when I told her about the continued 55% approval rating. She said, “Well, what do you expect? That’s about the IQ of the voters in Carbon County.”
She will remain nameless.
