A conversation about Donald Trump’s poll numbers with Chris Cillizza

Trump is more popular than at this point in 2017, but his agenda is not

This is just a quick post to draw your attention to two things:

First, I’ve just uploaded an initial release of my index of economic growth to the Strength In Numbers data portal. Trump’s approval rating — now at net -6 — is also updated there. I plan to make revisions to the model powering the economic index, which I’ve released publicly online, and to very soon incorporate it into a Cost Of Ruling Index that captures both political and economic conditions. Stay tuned for that.

And second, I just wrapped up a live Substack conversation with Chris Cillizza, formerly of CNN, where we talked about polling, Trump, and how to cover this moment in American politics.

It was fun and I’m hoping to do more of these live conversations in the future; I find they are easier than TV and enjoy the interactivity with you readers. There is a link to the recording at the top of this email, and you can also listen to it as a podcast if you open this email in the Substack app.
