Summary

Rasmussen poll shows Trump approval rating taking a dip, reflecting public opinion shift. Polling data indicates potential erosion of political support.

Why This Score

This event represents routine polling data showing approval rating fluctuation - a normal feature of democratic politics with zero constitutional impact. A-score is 0 across all drivers: no election interference (just opinion measurement), no rule of law impact, no institutional damage. The 'information_operation' mechanism tag appears misapplied - a single poll showing a dip is standard political reporting, not coordinated manipulation. B-score reaches only 13.8: moderate media friendliness (polls are easy content) and some outrage potential among partisans, but low novelty (approval ratings fluctuate constantly). Layer 2 shows mismatch between dramatic framing and trivial substance. The intentionality score of 8 reflects political framing but not sophisticated manipulation. This is textbook noise: ephemeral opinion data with no institutional consequences, normal democratic feedback, and no mechanism for constitutional damage. Approval ratings are designed to fluctuate and have no direct legal or structural effect.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Ignore. Routine polling fluctuations are democratic background noise. Monitor only if: (1) polling is systematically manipulated to justify concrete institutional changes, (2) results are used as pretext for emergency powers, or (3) pattern emerges of fabricated polls coordinating with authoritarian moves. Single data point of approval decline has zero constitutional relevance.
