I'm guessing that people termed "believers" have unqualified support for the President. "Conditionals" generally support him, but want and expect him to meet his promises. "Curious", I suppose, expect mixed results, but can like his Presidency if it achieves the desired results and acts appropriately. "Resisters" at most accept what he does, should it succeed, with grudging acceptance.
Guessing on how these correspond with favorability...
Believers -- strongly favor. He is a good match for their values and agenda.
Conditionals -- favor slightly. He is expected to do well, but he is expected to make his promises work.
Curious -- feebly reject. Expect mixed results, maybe more bad than good
Resisters -- strongly reject. He is a bad match for their values and agenda.
