Last November, growing increasingly infuriated with President Donald Trump's dangerous maneuvers and the rising covid numbers, I put aside rereading George Eliot's "Middlemarch." I realized that what I really needed was to watch some mindless TV reruns. I wanted a show that would glide through my neural pathways, defusing the daily mind bombs CNN's "Situation Room" often set off. I didn't want to think or feel. Since I initially planned to read about the village of Middlemarch and the families who lived there

How we know the drop in Trump’s approval rating in January reflected a real shift in public opinion

Donald Trump’s final job approval rating as president was 29% in a Pew Research Center poll released last week, the lowest of his presidency and a 9 percentage point drop since August, when 38% of U.S. adults approved.

So it was difficult to predict how the events of Jan. 6 – when rioters rampaged through the U.S. Capitol – might affect the public’s view of Trump
