The margin of victory for Democrat Doug Jones was — like Trump’s own victory last year — small in terms of ballots but huge in its implications. In Trump’s confrontations with multiple women who allege that he sexually harassed or assaulted them, most Americans are with the women, according to Rasmussen. In Trump’s rivalry with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, a majority of Americans back Mueller, according to a Post-ABC poll. Overall, Trump’s Gallup approval rating has not been above 40 percent since early summer and lately has been hovering in the mid-30s. Trump has tried to transform politics from a game of addition to a game of division, but math is catching up with him.
