Trump's Approval Rating Plunges With America's Most Accurate Pollster

Shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.

Most accurate pollster? Is J Ann Selzer working for them?

he's even losing stupid people.

He's still loved deeply by those who count most: white, God-fearing Christian working people. Praise God.

He's promised them "No Taxes" when you are Raptured!

[quote] Most accurate pollster? Is J Ann Selzer working for them?

After the infamous 16 point thumb that Selzer put on the scale, I don’t think any pollster wants to be thought of as the gold standard, calling attention to themselves, especially if they are likewise putting a thumb on the scale to influence politics.

Still not as low as 21% which is the Dems approval rating right now.

Doesn't matter. As long as the Dems remain silent and craven, he can claim a mandate and do whatever he wants.

His approval has always been in the 40's. But that has been enough (due to geography, gerrymandering, the electoral college, voter suppression laws, etc.). Unless and until, it gets below 40%, the poll numbers are meaningless.

[quote]Unless and until, it gets below 40%, the poll numbers are meaningless.

He will get below 40.

He is losing people on the economy which, of course, he lied extravagantly about during the campaign, claiming he'd bring "prices down" on "day one" The people that voted for him, fools that they are, believed him and now they are getting progressively pissed off. He's also struggling with his promise to deport lots of criminals and brown people. He's also stepping on his own tiny mushroom dick by dismantling the government and punishing people who (stupidly) thought he was going to punish others.

He's failed at everything in his life except conning people into believing he was a successful intelligent business man. He was never any of those things.

I can’t wait to see him lose all control and have it taken away, but this is America so we all get punished instead.

They're in a bit of denial now. I overheard what I assume were a couple of his voters talking, where they're saying that the hits to their portfolios are only temporary and that it will recover.

Is he dead yet?

Can I have his stuff?

[quote]They're in a bit of denial now.

They've been in a MAJOR amount of denial for a LONG fucking time, if they voted for Dump 2.0

[quote] I overheard what I assume were a couple of his voters talking, where they're saying that the hits to their portfolios are only temporary and that it will recover.

And these same brain trusts enjoyed record grown on their invested assets during the Biden/Harris administration, but somehow that didn't matter on election day. I hope everyone's portfolio rebounds, but it won't be under the auspices of the "tariff king" he's deranged if he thing tariffs are going to replace income tax and bring manufacturing back.

He's really a stooge and clearly Putin is filling his fat empty orange head with all kinds of encouraging words about tariffs.

5 points is not a “plunge.”

[quote]5 points is not a “plunge.”

if it indicates a trend (and it does) and your DISAPPROVAL rating is averaged above 50% ( and it IS) then you have a problem and you have a trend.

He won't be able to fix it, because he's incapable of change, but the trend is clear.

Hope this addresses your concern about the term "plunge"

Bottom line, while movement is better than nothing, his approval is still way too high and certainly high enough to allow Republicans to continue treating him like a king.

Yeah no - it's a hopeful indicator (assuming you're anti-Trump), but this is not yet a plunge. And it's eight points *higher* than Trump 1.0 at this time.

For comparison here's where Gallup found the President's approval rating on April 1 (two weeks away from this evening) for the past several US presidential terms:

Biden 55% (Apr 2021)

Trump 40% (Apr 2017)

Obama 48% (Apr 2013)

Obama 61% (Apr 2009)

Bush 48% (Apr 2005)

I don't feel they've thought anything out, but are throwing shite against the wall to see what sticks. R's up in two years ought to be thinking "How do we get him to stop this!" Sadly, no loyalty here, Trump couldn't care less. Apres lui, le deluge.

Trump wants to rip up The Rose Garden and replace it with a ballroom like the one at Maralago. Further proof that he's insane.

He also wants to turn the Kennedy Center into a non-Equity/non-union house.

His approval was in the 20s when he left office. That’s the floor.

What the fuck is the matter with this country that 47% approve of that asshole.

He’s probably at 47% because Americans are loving people being thrown out of the country.

The Democratic Party has reached an all-time low in popularity in the latest national NBC News poll, as it searches for a path forward after a painful loss to President Donald Trump — and as the party’s voters spoil for a fight between their leaders in Washington and Trump.

Just over a quarter of registered voters (27%) say they have positive views of the party, which is the party’s lowest positive rating in NBC News polling dating back to 1990. Just 7% say those views are “very” positive.

^^^Because it is a cult, R23. A brainwashed, ignorant, delusional cult of personality. He could ruin every aspect of their lives and they'd still kiss his ass.

The right wing media has been feeding Middle America a steady diet of lies for decades. So of course they are immune to any counter narrative. It just bounces off of them. They don’t even hear it.

R25, you have posted that poll several times, as if it is damning. However, Democrats had and held the Senate and House for 4 years after 1900. They also win the presidency in 1990.

[quote] They also win the presidency in 1990.

Nope.

R28 It's not so much damning as telling that despite Trump's ratings plummeting the Democratic Party is arguably doing even worse

A lot of Republicans don't like Trump but they love their party and will fall in line with Trump.

A lot of Democrats just pretty much hate everything including their own party but 75% (yeah I pulled that number out of my ass) will never vote Republican.

The Dems will come back. But what’s heartening is that we don’t need “leaders” for the sanest parts of this country to fight back. We’re figuring it out and making it happen. I’m confident that we will vanquish these mother fuckers.

Oh, dear.

He's owning the libs!

[quote]Trump wants to rip up The Rose Garden and replace it with a ballroom like the one at Maralago. Further proof that he's insane.

The plan is to put a patio where the grassy area is. You've seen how when there's a speech there, all the folding chairs are placed on the grass, and when there's not chairs there, it's just grass. Not only is it not insane, it has made sense for a long time to put a hard surface in that space to be used for the outdoor events that are held there.

Fucking Moron

Didn't Melania "redesign" Jackie's Rose Garden in 2018? Maybe he's pissed off at her.

(Side note: hasn't her "personally designed" tennis Pavillion pretty much sat unused since it was built.)

You think they should uglify a perfectly fine garden just so people don't get dirt on their shoes, r35? Why not bulldoze the entire White House and replace it with a six story glass and steel office building while we're at it? It would be a more practical work environment than an old mansion. Dumbass.

You're arguing with a known MAGA troll, R38.

25th Amendment him, Vance.

[quote]You think they should uglify a perfectly fine garden just so people don't get dirt on their shoes, [R35]?

It's just the grass part. "The president has been discussing plans to rip up the grass on the rose garden and put it on a hard surface that would serve as a patio, according to reports from CNN and The New York Times."

I tried that, R38. I got to live in the Mayflower!

[quote] Why not bulldoze the entire White House

As r42 points out, that’s already happened.

I took a tour of the White House when I was a kid, and thought all the rooms I was seeing were historical, like the actual rooms presidents had been in. It was only later that I learned the inside had been completely bulldozed. I felt cheated.

I wouldn't be surprised at some point before he leaves office, if he ever leaves office, that Trump proposes building a condo tower on the White House grounds, think of all the money it would make, spying operations from around the world would be very interested in having listening posts that close to the White House and would pay a pretty penny for them, oh make that a pretty nickle since Trump has banned the US Penny. Then since it was his idea they could slap his name on it and call it Trump Tower DC.

It's a lie!!!

Trump will be busy with the Gaza Redevelopment Project.

The majority of the country still doesn’t approve of Trump. and I doubt they ever will. And a huge percentage hates him and will always hate him. So he has to pretend to be really popular which he isn’t and never will be.

Hopefully Dems wake up from the coma.

and yet OP . . .

Trump’s rise to power just proves the majority of Americans are provincial morons.

NYTimes Dec. 30, 2024: analyzing the polling Trump vs. Harris:

"....the polls underestimated Trump, again."

" Across blue states, red states and swing states, the polls systematically underestimated Mr. Trump’s support. Polls are always slightly off in one direction or another, but that they’ve now missed in the same direction three cycles in a row is an indication that they are struggling to capture Mr. Trump’s voters in particular."

[quote] With America's Most Accurate Pollster

How many times did we hear that last year?

The majority of the country supports Trump. Americans are miserable. Trump is an extension of themselves.

These polls on the Democratic Party's approval are meaningless. They have nothing to do with whether people support Democratic policies. Large numbers of people support Democratic policies but don't currently support the Party because they think it's doing a lame-ass job.

Also, Newsweek is not an objective source. It went right-wing a few years ago.

Gee how shocking r48, six months after the democrats lost the election to literally the worst person in America. Lots of democrats are disgusted with the party for that, hence the low numbers.

Interesting how the Democrats are always to blame for everything.

Less fireworks this July 4th since they come from China. My dog is not upset.

The one thing that will turn MAGA against him is paying more for everything. They let everything else he does slide but not this.

I don’t think so r57.

I don’t think they’re bright enough, or even if they do notice they’ll blame “the Dems” somehow. It’s how they’ve been trained to think.

The one thing that would make them turn on Trump would be if he tries to govern effectively and work across the aisle. They want him divisive just like they are. That’s why they vote for him.

According to RCP, Democrats are ahead 1.9 in the Generic Comgressional Ballot as of yesterday.

Wait until people can’t afford back to school clothes and toys for Christmas.

He’s a greasy used-car salesman, always was

The national generic ballot polls are like national presidential polls. They don't focus on the swing districts.
