Fresh data from CNN puts his approval at a meager 34 percent, matching his post-Jan. 6 trough, while a new AP-NORC poll has him tied at a post-2017 low of 33 percent. Quinnipiac paints an even grimmer picture, dropping him to a career low of 32 percent.
I’m looking forward to celebrating when he drops below 30%. He can do it, I have faith.
Wait, what? How did his approval rating shoot up to 34%? It was at 29% last time I checked… We need to get that percentage back down below 30!
Any number greater than zero is a clear symptom of a failed society and state.
There’s still people that approve of him?
80+ million of them. It reminds me of the George Carlin quote: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Many. I haven’t seen any signs of his support waning where I live. Same signs, flags, bumper stickers, etc. Even the Trump 2028 crap. And if you read the comments on my local newspaper’s website, you’ll hear plenty from them.
His current obsession with the threat of “communism” really seems to be resonating with them.
How are the Democrats destroying the country, they aren’t in charge.
Its like comparing bitter chocolate with literal shit. To the voters, theyre equivalent.
It’s the undrainable deep-state swamp.
Stuff him in that little hole, and jam the flag in.
matching his post-Jan. 6 trough
WTF happened in the interim? Fucking bird brains forgot about all the impossibly stupid shit he did and said?
Nothing has actually moved his approval more than a few percentage points up or down since mid-2016. He had slight bumps in approval at the start of both terms in office, but otherwise his approval hovered at or close to the low 40s.
They would have to know it to forget it. Our news sources had poor and little coverage of it all long term. Their news sources praised and cheerleaded it. They don’t live in reality.
Well something happened to cause his approval rating to go up.
“Everything that doesn’t agree with me doesn’t exist”
How can 1/3 of Americans think this child rapist is doing a good job?
They don’t know or understand what he’s doing. They just know he’s a republican and that’s why they support him.
Propaganda works.
I was thinking brainwashing… but I guess it’s the same thing.
Assaults on education work
Because some people are just dipshit racists
Their separation from our reality is total and goes back many years. It’s not like they lived the same life but just this morning decided “nah that child rapist guy is ok.” For years they have been hearing from totally different information sources (I use this term loosely) a totally different narrative. It’s just one partisan witch hunt after another to them. None of it is real.
The fuller and more interesting version of your question is how 1/3 of America came to live in an alternate reality. I think we know most of that story but it is the real phenomenon at the bottom of this
They’re locked in a decades-long cycle of abusive extraction.
American religion, politics, economics, and ecology are reaching the limits of an unsustainable system that only knows how to extract wealth and power. The Soviet Union collapsed for similar reasons. Above all, that form of government collapsed under the weight of propping up The Party’s false reality and its debts to the truth. Real operating principles flow from hard-learned evidence, experience, and wisdom. Societies simply cannot operate indefinitely from convoluted principals engineered to benefit only the few. This is the flaw in the philosophy behind strict conservatism - it’s fundamentally anti-social.
People stick with the devils they know. When long-term planning is negated by the cognitive load induced by navigating abuse, it can be almost impossible to transition to new sustainable modes of thinking and living.
He hates women, black people and minorities in general.
He’s loud, crass, obnoxious.
He’s tacky.
He’s petty.
The US version of the return of the repressed
It’s a cult. Most will never stop believing.
Turns out the people who are quickest to say something is unamerican are also the same people who will ignore American values like the Pledge of Allegiance and the US Constitution just to “win.”
The Pledge began as a marketing gimmick:
As branding expert John Gorman outlines, the pledge began with an initiative from The Youth’s Companion, a Boston-based magazine looking to expand beyond its religious roots. To reach a broader audience, the editors launched a nationwide effort to place American flags in public schools, offering them as incentives for new subscriptions.
Not such a great example of “American values”, or perhaps since it started as a corporate marketing gimmick it’s a perfect example.
Because 1/3 of Americans what to rape children.
I have seen two different people recently with a trump 2028 yard sign, and wearing a trump 2028 shirt. People are evil morons.
No, not people…AMERICANS. The rest of the world is wondering WTF is going on over there. Americans traded in their spines for wooden nickels.
It’s a lot more than 1 third
Americans are about the dumbest people you can imagine. Lazy and selfish too. They don’t care enough about anything but their own personal situations to do anything meaningful to help society anymore. We are watching an empire crumble…and they simply don’t care enough to fix it.
America is the land of the fee, and the home of the slave.
Hurting brown people and “communists” is more important than anything else to that 1/3.
btw “communists” are just any people who think the health insurance industry is fucked and way too expensive, and that all people deserve to be treated equally, and that the ultra wealthy shouldn’t have as much power as they do.
Has nothing to do with actual communism but the far right propaganda machine is trying to poison any of these ideas with a radioactive word to anyone who remembers the red scare in the 1950s (which, btw, was also a complete bullshit witch hunt because workers were getting too many rights at that point and starting to cut into potential profits of the ultra wealthy cancerous tumors).
btw “communists” are just any people who think the health insurance industry is fucked and way too expensive, and that all people deserve to be treated equally, and that the ultra wealthy shouldn’t have as much power as they do.
It’s simpler than that. To them, “communists” and “socialists” are the same, and it’s anyone that doesn’t think businesses should be able to do anything they want, and any person non-conforming to their personal view of “normal” isn’t even human. While most will not, some will even admit both of those publicly.
See: “The Case for Fascism” youtube video just released by Steven Crowder. No need to watch it to give them more views, but it’s fucking crazy. You can watch all kinds of reaction explainers on it.
The American Fascist Right was clearly on the wrong side when they publicly called Mister Rogers an “evil, evil man” back in 2007 (notably, 4 years after his death).

To them, “communists” and “socialists” are the same
Like “DEI” and “woke,” they’re just synonyms for “ME NO LIKE!!”
REPUBLICAN
VOTERS
LOVE
RAPING
CHILDREN
AND
GENOCIDE
Everyone who ever gaslit you that this wasn’t the case was wrong.
Republicans are, at their very best, the parents who know their kids are being raped by an adult, and punish the kid for speaking up about it because it embarrasses them and they rather the child rape happen in the dark.
I tried for like 5 min to figure out what this spelled….
RVLRCAG, obvs. Duh.
Revelercag … of course.
They have turds for brains
Okay, so the media is ownsd by the right wing, as is the administration and supreme court, and all the tech billionaires, BUT for some reason the polls are owned by the leftwing?
Facism 101: the enemy is both strong enough to be feared and weak enough to ignore at the same time.
He continued in a similar, ranty vein, “Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt. VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR GREATNESS IN AMERICA!”
I realize a lot of Americans hate the radical left, but could they really be any worse than these shit-for-brains Republicans? And I’m not talking about violent Stalin apologists, who are essentially non-existent offline, but democratic socialists.
Americans hate the radical left
A “radical left” that is right wing basically everywhere else in the world. Because they solely consume propaganda 24/7 and actively avoid anything else. You should see the number of fascists online in places about media like Star Trek (depicting a socialist, post-scarcity society where money doesn’t exist, and most of the galaxy cooperates in a Federation) talking about how it’s now Woke somehow.
One third of Democrats currently align with the Democratic Socialists, and it’s growing. It seems the hate for DemSocs is far overstated.
Many people, especially young people, who have grown up with MAGA for most of their lives, don’t see ANYTHING positive about MAGA, Democrats, or our government, and think Nordic-style Democratic Socialism sounds like a reasonable alternative.
I’m an old guy, so I’ve thought that for a LONG time. I’m pleased to see the rest of America catching up.
Still too high.
Polls don’t matter, VOTE
Good. I hope it gives that pedo rapist high blood pressure and keeps his sorry ass up at night.
I find it almost unbelievable that 30+% still support him !?
And 30℅ were on the fence about putting an impeached rapist with a history of self enrichment and grifting into the highest office in the land. Apparently they were ok with it.
30% of any larger group are raving lunatics. This is a universal rule.
Probably closer to 20%, which coincides with the support Hitler had at the last elections his country held before the war.
I came up with a 20-30% rule. Roughly each quarter of population is always divided into different political camps. It’s not what I experimented and surveyed on but it’s what I have always observed in terms of voting patterns since history, especially in Europe. The Nazis won only about a quarter of voting population but they had to form a coalition to form a government. Similarly, the various Spanish left wing parties also had to form a coalition with each other before the Spanish Civil War, until the losing right wingers staged a coup to take power sparking the civil war.
If we look at the voting pattern as well in the previous American presidential elections, only 60% of eligible voting population went to the polling booth. More than half of those who voted elected Trump while the other remaining elected Kamala. So, of those who voted, about 30-35% elected for either candidates. Those who did not vote comprise 40% and they did not do so for various reasons. It’s safe to assume that of those 40%, half are either liberal/left or right/conservative who did not feel energised by either Kamala or Trump and would rather elect their own preferred candidate (Sanders, Jill Stein, Haley etc).
Those are just my guesstimate but it roughly correlates with voting patterns in various countries if ranked choice voting and proportional representation happens. Even though some countries with no ranked choise and proportional representation, about one quarter of people are of certain inclinations. So, it is unsurprising that 30% of Americans are fascists supporting Trump. Those adjacent or apologists of Trump may not be outright fascists, but are enablers or useful idiots.
30% of the country are stuck in isolated suburban hellscapes where their main source of information is Fox News, talk radio, and online echo chambers full of people who do the same. Another 30% are also stuck in isolated suburban hellscapes but they’re not stuck in the same dis-information loop.
That’s bedrock cult. The Jesusiest lifetime my daddy was republicans.
Saying they disapprove will never happen. Privately, maybe on the john, say, they may momentarily think it before furtively begging Jebus for forgibness.
too fucking bad. evil sack of orange shit deserves much worse for all his crooked acts
