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.
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 ?
