a New York Times/Siena College poll of registered voters on Friday found that Trump’s approval rating is 42%, and just 29% among independent voters. More than half of voters said Trump is “exceeding the powers available to him”, and 59% of respondents said the president’s second term has been “scary”

I cannot imagine being in the headspace where you would have EVER trusted this washed up game show host.
If America was a sane place with a sane people they would have dragged Trump out of the White House by his ear the moment they began sending immigrants, even legal ones, to concentration camps. But that didn’t happen.
If it were a sane place, Trump would never have made it to the white house in the first place. We’re so far beyond any semblance of sane.
And rest of the world has lost their hopes for America.
And none of this matters because of by some miracle this fascist doesn’t fascist this country, the next, more competent fascist from the fascist party will take to where Trump left off because they’ll always vote the hard R.
It’s all about emotions and in-group belonging. All of us are subject to that, to some extent. But for some people it’s the dominant force in their lives. I don’t know how to fix that, because it seems kind of deeply baked in.
Maybe the left needs more flag waving and American exceptionalism. While dumb, it tickles the in-group need; if pageantry is enough to sway some large portion of the population towards a better future then maybe it’s worthwhile.
Just another month, when the shelves will be empty.
The fact they didn’t lose faith after January 6th makes them beyond stupid
The fact they elected him a second time…
Nah. The first time was beyond stupid. The second time is an Idiocracy level dystopia.
Instead of putting him in prison.
The fact they had any is the first place is beyond me.
this is the correct version of normal… remember how yall felt in 2016: that is normal, and everything beyond then has been a shifted, perverse version of normal that they’ve forced onto you
Despite any misgivings republicans might say for a poll, had they asked if they would rather have a democrat in office, the pool would be 90% plus in favor of Trump. It’s simply the way they ask the questions.
These people can try to pretend they are hemming and hawing over these things, but as long as it is their guy doing it, they are ok with it.
Trump is killing people and kids and the best they can do is say they don’t think he is focusing on the right things and these surveys are somehow supposed to show how badly he is doing. These people don’t give a shit and are complicit. They think they are absolved by not approving.
It’s all bullshit.
I’m afraid most americans have a learning disability.
It’s not just Americans. The world has varying degrees of stupid. We’ve just allowed the morons to have a voice, which was a mistake.
And be in power.
I gave up hope for a lot of people when they saw his lifetime of documented lies, theft, and fraud and thought they could trust him.
Americans and Republicans.
My grocery store started selling us flags for cheap - $1 a flag++ (probably the cheapest thing they have). The amount of us flags in my area has increased. New people are putting them up. I’ve been paying attention to who has flags up. Only 2 neighbors removed them, 1 neighbor finally removed his trump flag and exchanged it for the us flag, 1 neighbor has us flag above Trump flag. What’s kind of funny is that some of the houses are smaller than the flags they have up.
“losing” not “lost”. It’s still in progress…
It’s not like this is unexpected for anyone with any sort of decent long term memory. He was a giant fuck up his first time around as well. And before that has tanked nearly every business he has been in charge of. To the point that they couldn’t survive without regular cash infusions from shady eastern European money men.
If his older brother hadn’t had a conscious his own father would have abandoned him in a prep school.
Actually looks really similar to his first term, I would have thought it’d be a lot worse.
That’s because he isn’t losing his core constituency and the “displeased” republicans/independents will continue to vote R each election.
It reminds me of the spate of articles 8 years ago about this; how headlines made mountains out of molehill changes in stats.
The fact is, about of a third of Americans would be pleased with orange-face no matter what he did or who got hurt.
All these leopard-eating-faces articles are just modern day morality plays ( the performance of drama about how the wicked or sinners get their justice, or tearfully beg for forgiveness). People been enjoying this even before the printing press
Hang on, so at least 1% of American voters approve of Trump but think his second term has been “scary”?
registered voters
I wonder how many of them had the chance to stop this shit but didn’t vote.
Way too many. Especially considering how early voting was widely available
Yep. This was ALL avoidable.
i don’t fucking believe it for a second, every maga toting American I know goes on and on about how they still believe in Trump.
if Americans were swayed by evidence Trump would not have a second term
The minutes a convicted felon won the election, made me lose any trust I ever had in this type of reporting.
The low low rating of… checks note 40 something percent? How is it not rock-bottom already ? Imagine a stock-market crash under Biden. He’d be already impeached and looking for a job.
All these ‘it’s dropping!’ articles are just bullshit. It’s been in the 42-46% pretty much since he took office.
I think this is just rhetoric aimed at the left. ‘See, his popularity is fading! No need to worry and definitely no need to do anything about him!’
Kinda like the right gets ‘See, everyone loves him; he won on the popular vote and now he’s doing all the things you wanted him to! Remember to support him unconditionally!’
