Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.
Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.
Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
This. Exactly this is the main problem in the US
Meanwhile in Germany, somewhere around 12 % are satisfied with the work of Chancellor Friedrich Merz with somewhere around 85 % actively disapproving.
Don’t get me wrong, I too am far from satisfied with the work of Chancellor Merz, but with all his faults he is still far away from being anywhere near as awful as Trump.
The fuck is wrong with the 4 other assholes?
And 4/10 don’t understand why Homelander is a bad guy
4/10 think history class framing US slavery as wrong and Nazi’s were the bad guys in WW2 is “liberal propaganda”
As was predicted because this entirely predictable outcome of making him president is exactly what was expected. And guess what? It’s going to get worse.
Four in ten Americans are mentally impaired
you know, maybe Thanos had a point
With the way this timeline is going, the 50% of those snapped would be from the 6/10
It is really worrisome news.
The media manipulation of the rich works too well.
No free country can survive without publicly funded independent media.
Plenty of dumb racist pedo protecting bastards in the survey.
Poll yesterday said 26% approval rating, which is a record in the US. The title should be 2.6/10. The Guardian probably sought out Trump supporters in particular?
Lol.
Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we’re only at 6 of 10?
This nation is a fucking clown car flying off a cliff made of clowns into a black hole of endless Mandelbrot clowns.
To be clear, this country is far, far too stupid for anything other than continued collapse to happen even after this pedophile is being eaten by worms.
Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we’re only at 6 of 10?
Well hey these survey takers sure didn’t ask me. Sounds like they didn’t ask you either. I dunno who is even answering these things. How does one get asked?
I bet they’re missing a lot of Americans in these surveys! I bet it’s more like 8 or 9 out of 10 if the survey was more obviously available.
4 in 10 Americans be like
Unfortunately it seems that 8 in 10 Americans also think the Democrats are “just as bad”.
They are just as bad. Or more accurately they are the same thing. They are both classical liberals and a classic liberal democracy is not viable. Capitalists with free reign.
Given the power of data aggregation, modeling, think tanks and llm human voters are a solved puzzle. At this point they are just testing the models.
“Says here we can do x and that will only move 3% of the electorate”. “REALLY!!” “Yep”.
The whole thing has to burn and we need some ground up reconstruction of our political system. Otherwise it’s just a dystopian cyberpunk future.
8/10 Americans think Trump is bad but Kamala laughed funny
Why do yall keep acting like she was a good candidate? Neoliberals arent good for anyone either. Wow we voted for a trash democrat, were so awesome. She still is shit and we need to do way better. She will never win
As someone who voted for Kamala Harris… I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate… relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran…
sentient
Arguable, he has zero internal monologue and has to express everything he comes up with immediately out loud. If he’s sentient, a LLM is too.
“To make our perfect presidential idol we stuck a we-have-Grok-at-home LLM into a trashbag full of molding human(?) waste, and gave it access to social media. We’re geniuses.”
–The Gross Old Pedo party, probably
That is 100% fair but it’s irrelevant. At this point it doesn’t matter what skeletons she had in her closet or what she supported because there is NOTHING she could support that would be worse than what we currently have.
She was so bad, yet they still ran her. Would be better off slamming your head in the wall
And they’re going to run her again.
Those numbers are higher than the 30% that voted for him. Sounds like he’s doing well.
Chat, we’re pretty sure those numbers are wrong… more like 9/10
4 outa 10 people are fucking stupid.
4 are fine with this. Which is terrifying.
What’s terrifying is we’re going to do nothing about it
This. The take home here is that the people are still 40% stupid.
Keep in mind that according to the US Department of Education, 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level.
Also, I have read elsewhere that nearly 20% of Americans are functionally illiterate. I wonder how many of these people vote.
Don’t give one single fuck. Not an excuse. Stop using it.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
No. I don’t care about excuses anymore.
No one was making excuses. It’s weird that you would think that.
I mean…6 years ago it was 48%.
So that’s…progress?
The important question is how many of that 60% would vote for him or another R, again.
And that answer is going to be depressingly high.
Pretty much any conservative I’ve talked to insists that Kamala Harris would be “just as bad.” No matter how badly they think their golden boy is doing, they’ll always convince themselves he’s still the best pick.
Im assuming nice chunk died from covid and old age?
No it wasn’t. It’s been around 6:4 his entire 2 terms.
Not necessarily; some will have answered non-committally or less disapprovingly. I think the article states that only 23% approve.
“He’s doing a bad job” is pretty strong disapproval you usually don’t hear from the gen pop.
And let me just add that our language of political discourse has eroded during the past decade; one can read more and more Trump-speak (“bad job”) in headlines, it’s being adopted.
Our language of political discourse currently ranges from meh to WHY DO YOU SUPPORT A LITERAL GENOCIDE YOU COMPLICIT FUCK!?!
It’s probably more like 32-38% and they chose a 1-10 scale so they could round up for a better headline.
still… there would be 2 to 3 people out of ten looking at the wannabe Nobel Peace Prize guy waging wars, at the “jobs are coming back to America” guy sending unemployment rates up, at the “we’ll end inflation” guy causing $5 gas prices… should I go on? But still 3/10 people are looking at all this and think “eh, we’re doing fine!”
And? Nixon maintained 25-30% support up until his resignation. I’ll never understand what leftists expect to see from the American people
Nothing, and I’m sorry if my remarks may have sounded offensive to people in the US. It’s just weird from a European perspective, where an approval between 30 and 40% would make most of our governments very happy.
A while back, I’ve read an article on the Obama-Keyes race for the Illinois senate race, saying that 25-ish% is the lowest approval rate you can ever get in the US based on the fact that Keyes (who lost in a landslide but still got about 25% of the votes against Obama) was:
a. black (so racism wasn’t a factor)
b. not from Illinois (so that wasn’t a factor either)
c. by all accounts, very unlikable and a complete lunatic
Sorry the piece I was referring to was much deeper but I can’t find it again, now… If they are right, this IS basically already rock bottom for Trump in terms of approval.
Billionairs ?
The other 40 percent are my grandparents.
So billionaires?
