At risk of pointing out the obvious, but his approval ratings are still high. Individual stories and tragedies amount to little. It can be difficult to stay grounded when hopeful stories like these proliferate. It will be a long four years.

Net -4 approval isn’t what I’d call high

It's significantly higher than should be expected given his "accomplishments" thus far

Yeah I’m genuinely amazed it’s not closer to single digits after this shit show in such a short amount of time

Just as before the election, they're not paying attention after the election. Just going about their day oblivious to the destruction around them.

It’s exceedingly high, and I’m chronically disappointed by that fact.

Objectively, no. Considering the circumstances, on the other hand...

Approval ratings don't matter right now. Trump & Co. don't care. The social-media-braindamaged crowd cannot think further back than a few months anyhow.

Approval polls won’t be a determining factor in any policy decisions, but they are an excellent criterion for an assortment of predictions one can make. Between coups, wars, future presidencies, and demographic changes, polls provide a wealth of information.
