@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Well you can get people to sacrifice for a greater cause, for many reasons. But that's not quite the context of democratic approval numbers. I'd argue it's almost a perfect balance between base needs and the socially "higher" emotional needs, and higher-cause sacrifice can only mitigate each one to a point.
If the economy was booming but people were being robbed every day, disapproval. If it's in depression but we're all fighting together in a popularly accepted war, approval. If we're in relative non-crisis time, and nobody's emotions are being modified by a higher calling when the pollster calls, then I think MH re-asserts itself depending on where that person feels they are.
