Trump's RCP favorable rating has gone from about 39% to 43% since the 91 felony charges against him in the summer of 2023. image:
There doesn't appear to be any other president whose favorable rating has stayed as consistent as Trump's. Trump's been at about 42% since he took office in January 2017, over seven years ago.
The two most significant events for Trump that lowered his favorable rating were the insurrection at the Capitol and the dismal 2022 GOP midterm election results. They lowered him a few points but he rebounded in a couple months.

Look at this, nine in Georgia, 13 in Nevada. My goodness, gracious, my god. That is a hugely — no Democrat has lost that state since John Kerry lost it back in 2004.”

Donald Trump Jr. has visited Trump's former trade official, Navarro, in prison. Navarro was found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a Jan. 6 committee subpoena.
Trump's 2024 presidential campaign has become really bizarre. It's become a game of his cronies visiting him at criminal trial and his cronies visiting his buddies who are in prison. Some are doing it to improve their auditioning to be his VP. It could become stranger. Trump could be convicted of felonies in the NY case and his buddies could be visiting him in prison during the presidential campaign, but not buddies like former Trump official Navarro because he's already in prison.
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, appears at Trump's criminal trial in NY. Speaker Mike Johnson's appearance at Trump's felony trial marks a remarkable moment in US politics excerpt: "It was a remarkable moment in modern American politics: The House speaker turning his Republican Party against the federal and state legal systems that are foundational to the U.S. government and a cornerstone of democracy. Johnson, who is second in line for the presidency, called the court system “corrupt.”"
Johnson is accusing the justice system of being corrupt. Speaker Mike Johnson's appearance at Trump's felony trial marks a remarkable moment in US politics excerpt: "Johnson was a chief architect of Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential results ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, mob assault on the U.S. Capitol, and last week he called the hush money trial and the other election-year cases against Trump a “borderline criminal conspiracy.” “It is election interference,” Johnson said Tuesday. “And the American people are not going to let this stand.”"
Trump is corrupt. Trump has been indicted in four criminal cases in four jurisdictions at the federal and state level. Trump is also an un-indicted co-conspirator in MI and AZ fake elector cases. Trump could be indicted later in those cases.
Speaker Mike Johnson's appearance at Trump's felony trial marks a remarkable moment in US politics excerpt: "Also with him on Tuesday were U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum — both considered possible vice presidential candidates — as well as former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, one of Trump’s current top surrogates. U.S. Sens. JD Vance of Ohio and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama were among those who attended court on Monday."

Trump is exhibiting mental decline coupled with a condition of extreme narcissism that is also worsening.. Those two conditions together magnify his pathological condition. Psychologists alarmed over Donald Trump's mental state excerpt: "Gartner then criticized what he saw as attempts to undermine Joe Biden's mental acuity while ignoring the same issues in regards to Trump. "I don't know what it will take for the mainstream press to actually ask the question, 'Is there something wrong with Trump's brain?'" the expert said. "I think, even if he was caught wandering down Fifth Avenue in his pajamas, they wouldn't ask the question," reports Raw Story."
Trump could be seen wandering in his pajamas on Fifth Avenue plus shooting someone, and the mainstream media wouldn't ask what's wrong with him but would instead focus on Biden supposedly eating his salad too slow.
His supporters in the right wing media would proudly say that he wandered down the street in his pajamas in style, like a talking head on Newsmax said Trump stared at the solar eclipse in 2017 at the White House in style while not wearing eye protection but wearing a goofy smile on his face.
