Turmoil and tragedy are tough for the nation, but a tonic for Presidential approval. At times of crisis, Americans look to the President for reassurance and comfort. A few palliatives and we feel better about ourselves and our leader. We can emerge with unity of purpose, as after 9/11.
Trump used Charlottesville to chat up his base rather than sweet talk the nation. With Hurricane Harvey, he seemed as concerned about crowd size as the scope of devastation.
My musings are subjective, polls are objective. Trump trended down after Charlottesville and has registered no gains during Harvey. We look to our president for leadership, but Trump is not there.
