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.
This. The take home here is that the people are still 40% stupid.
I mean…6 years ago it was 48%.
So that’s…progress?
Im assuming nice chunk died from covid and old age?
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.
No it wasn’t. It’s been around 6:4 his entire 2 terms.
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.
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.
What’s terrifying is we’re going to do nothing about it
Billionairs ?
4 in 10 Americans be like
Oh look, another 6/10 survey. File it with the “2/3 of Americans aren’t massive idiots” and “60 to 70% of people agree good things are good and bad things are bad” surveys.
It’s the drawer next to the “51% vote for nonsense” drawer.
Actually, Trump got 49.9% of the vote.
Would like to note that Kamala got 48.3%
The difference went to a variety of other canidates.
I imagine ranked choice voting would have fixed this
They’re still massive idiots because they refuse to do something about the other 30%.
Such as what? Some of you Canadians talk a lot of shit for a country that didn’t wake up until ours threatened annexation. Then all of a sudden you realized the far right is bad and Americans need to get violent even though you yourself are too cowardly to actually say it out loud.
Yeah, we’re definitely the cowards here.
MAGA-enabler.
4 in 10 are fucking dipshits.
The numbers have been remarkably stable for 10 years, given what a shitshow it has unmistakably been.
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 are propagandized to shit
No, at least 3 in 10 genuinely agree with what he’s doing, have always thought this way, and are glad that behavior like his can be shown out in the open without consequences now.
Both things can be true
Huh? How is that mutually exclusive?
4 outa 10 people are fucking stupid.
4 in 10 aren’t paying attention and/or are bad people and bad citizens.
Not paying attention isn’t an excuse after a decade. They’re bad people at best and traitors at worst.
It’s the latter half of that statement.
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
Yeah, the real question is Thanos wearing a maga hat
It is really worrisome news.
The media manipulation of the rich works too well.
No free country can survive without publicly funded independent media.
I cannot say that the UK is very much smarter, but 40% of the US is dumb as shit.
And the other 40% are idiots…
ppl got angry on mitt Romney for saying it something a bit similar.
4 in
610 Americans are why I have no hope for humanity.deleted by creator
Lol such a dumb mistake 😂 I’ll feel ashamed for the rest of the day haha
Cudos for leaving it up.
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”
In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.
The delta V requirements to launch them into the sun are just way too wasteful. Let’s do the other option.
yeah it is sometimes hard to wrap your mind around it is easier to leave our solar system then crashing into the sun.
Third option: Delta P?
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?
