Hilarious that it’s Republidumbs mostly disapproving. What? You voted for the guy. Now suffer!
What? The poll said 86% of Republicans strongly or somewhat approve of Trump right now.
I’m still sad anyone would even vote for that goon. I truly worry for my countrymen who voted for him, they’re naive, dumb or full of incredible hate and malice - none of which is good.
I’d really love it if, instead of them suffering, we could just get everyone to stop suffering.
We focus way too much on the “people getting what they deserve” aspect of politics and then it consumes our rhetoric to a point where we overcorrect and put more effort towards punishing bad things than building good things.
Well you see, we’ve tried rationalizing with them, reasoning with them, spread some logic to them, educating them .etc
And they still kept doing the same thing anyways. They were the ones who told us we were liars, we’re apart of some “Deep State”, we’re “Traitors” and all sorts of insults and untrue slander.
Where have you been?
“They’re gonna get what they deserve” is literally why Trump is in office. He promised his supporters that “they” (mostly immigrants) would get what they deserved.
This is not a place for fighting fire with fire.
lower than his first term? wow he outdid himself
I must be nosrtradamus because I keep predicting this shit months in advance
Anyone surprised?
Yes, I’m very surprised. Not because he’s dropping, but because the disproval rate is 54%, with 41% still approving of his job thus far…
What in the seven hells is wrong with Americans!?
I live in Trump country. A lot of these people are living in an alternate reality where trans people and immigrants are lurking behind every corner to take their kids and women and the economy is in shambles but in a way that only impacts white middle class Americans.
Wait a week or 2 until the empty shelves hit the market
I think there’s a few reasons.
-
People are tuned into propaganda. I get exposed to it once in a while and it’s abhorrent. Arguing, yelling, and just a deluge of lies. It pretends to be important. It pretends to be news. But really, it’s more like 1984’s 2 minutes of hate diluted down and stretch out so people can get their fill whenever they want (or for older people, just consume it constantly).
-
For many less politically-involved people, they are still emotionally and culturally tied to their political “team”. For many, it’s easier to just go along with the shifts in the party than to change identity.
-
People are lazy/busy/uninterested. People generally don’t want to learn about economics, history, politics, sociology, psychology, etc. This leaves a huge hole for someone like Trump to say and do the things he’s been doing without his uneducated base calling BS. I took 2 100-level economics electives long ago for my degree and saw right through his tariff lies because this stuff isn’t that complicated.
-
Messaging. The right-wing messaging is mostly half-truths and all-out lies, but they are incredibly effective at getting their messaging out and believed. A lot of it is just repetition, repetition, repetition. The left really needs to get their shit together. I’m not looking for propaganda like the right is doing, but the Dems started loosing so badly because the right would grab an issue like a rabid Chihuahua and just not let go. Benghazi is a perfect example. Fix the messaging – keep is simple and just repeat it forever.
Today i learned about the DRD4-R7 gen; titled “Discoverer gen”, because it’s likely the main factor for out-of-afrika
- the further away the population, the more have it, while mammalia other than human only change habitat if forced
- globally 20% have it
- “booster” for dopamine
- dopamine mainly responsible for emotion intensity; by extension, how interesting something is or how quickly they’re satiated by stimulation (sex included)
Conclusion: for 80% of humanity is the drive to discover/learn new things weaker than their lazyness.
This explains so much.

Hatefulness
The conservative mind sees any kind of disloyalty as immoral.
People (and whole ass families) make “being republican” their whole identity
Not their whole identity, but certainly part of it. And that doesn’t change with the situation, so they can always feel motivated to vote, even when the options suck.
A critical lack of empathy for their fellow man. Americans have had the concept of “fuck you got mine” so engrained into them, couple this with their overall lack of intelligence and you can see how a grifter promising them everything won the nation.
I am not from the usa. And i am suprised his graph made it above the 0 line.
Donald Trump IS the worst president in history.
Twice!
Worst in history so far!
Aka there will be worse, or he will get worse.
Por que no los dos?
Doesn’t matter
Fascists don’t leave office willingly.
So, trump is now the worst president below… Trump.
Lmao so he’s both the first AND second worst president of all time. He’s more racist than Woodrow Wilson, dumber that George W. and more corrupt than Warren G. Harding.
I wish we wasn’t a narcissist so he could feel the deep shame that he should about that.
I mean it’s hard to outdo Wilson in the racist president race but there are literal slave owners and Andrew Jackson in the running, you realize?
We can only hope he experiences a moment of clarity just before he dies.
We can only hope
he experiences a moment of clarity just beforehe dies.
He’s doing a speedrun.
40% approval? As a non-american, I’m actually curious what kind of propaganda is still convincing these people.
Cult mentality largely. And a bunch of people who don’t pay attention, haven’t lost their jobs and still answer pollsters.
He won the election with 49% of the vote. I think the majority of those people just have the “let him cook” mentality. Like Trump knows what he’s doing and this lull in the economy is temporary pain that will be replaced by the greatest economy ever. That’s the most generous interpretation I can given
I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.
But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc… it’s inexcusable.
Yeah, 49% of people voted for him. He gained voters from last time. Mind blowing.
The right-wing propaganda machine has gotten very good at blasting “The Democrats are DESTROYING THE NATION” across every channel they have whenever there’s a non-Republican in power. Anyone who listens to it will never vote D, no matter what - because they believe that everything Democrats do are aimed at stripping rights from citizens and taking money from their paychecks. That propaganda machine is getting a broader and broader foothold as moneyed interests continue to gain ground.
Pathetic that people voted for this traitor cunt. Idiots.
Donald Trump is completely incompetent.
I hate to say it (I really hate to say it), but I don’t think Trump is incompetent. I think he has different goals than you think he does, and is executing them successfully.
I mean, obviously he’s a profoundly stupid person, but he’s some kind of idiot-savant that manages to succeed at his criminally evil goals despite that. Might be why all the dipshits admire him so much, come to think of it.
His goal is to stay out of prison, which he’s 100% successful at.
Why do you think Vance is doing all the traveling and trump plays golf all day? He doesn’t care. He got a get out of jail free card already.
A useful idiot. He is manipulated by those around him to achieve self-serving goals.

He’s the BEST at incontinence!
He has good jeans to handle all of that incontinence. The best jeans. Jeans like you have never seen before.
You’d think people would know this already, seeing as he was already fucking President once and all, with even then totally predictable and insane levels of corruption and incompetence. Somehow that record never really came up during the election, amazing.
the MSMs were working 24/7/365 sanewashing him since he lost in 2020, it had a positive effect on his image, because he was getting free press 24/7+ putin backed right wing grifters were helping hammering the messaging in young men voters too.
He is. And we let him be president. What’s that say about us?
Kind of amazing on the break out seeing how much republican poll support he’s still getting.
NEW Economist/YouGov Apr 20-22 % who approve | disapprove of Trump’s job performance
U.S. adult citizens 41% | 54%
Last week 42% | 52%
Start of term 49% | 43%
- Democrats 7% | 92%
- Independents 30% | 59%
- Republicans 86% | 12%
- Men 45% | 49%
- Women 37% | 59%
The sole goal of the republican party and its voters is to kill anyone and anything in their way of power.
What I think is funny is the 7% of democrats who think he’s doing a good job.
JOSH So, if we’re lucky, foreign aid’s going to be funded for another 90 days at 75 cents on the dollar. No one who’s ever said they wanted bipartisanship has ever meant it. But the people are speaking. Because 68% think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59% think it should be cut.
WILL You like that stat?
JOSH I do.
WILL Why?
JOSH Because 9% think it’s too high, and shouldn’t be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, “I have utterly no idea what you’re talking about. Please, God, don’t ask for my input.”
The West Wing, Guns and Butter
Think of stupid people as basically AI. They just copy what’s around them and approximate an opinion without really understanding any of it. They’re just followers.
They follow along when they’re surrounded by Democrats, and then they move somewhere else and they’re surrounded by Republicans, and they still follow along. They don’t publicly renounce their old beliefs because they haven’t actually put that much thought into it. It’s all surface level.
You always find some weird, contradictory results in polls. Like people who say taxes shouldn’t be raised, but also think there should be a higher inheritance tax. This happens so frequently that the lack of weird results is evidence of falsified poll.
those are probably mostly maga turds who think they’re secret agents or sumsuch by registering democrat and voting in their primaries.
There are brain dead on both sides of the aisle, unfortunately. Ever heard someone say something you vehemently agree with, then explain why they think that and it makes you question your own viewpoint coming to the same conclusion as that the dumb shit you just heard? Like “We need to tax the rich, because if you dont tax the rich, they can will buy up all of the beaches for themselves and we wont have any more sand to make glass with and I need new windows.”
That 7% is probably a bunch of smooth brains saying “let him cook” thinking he is playing long con becuase he was a registered dem 30+ years ago and is tearing it all down to rebuild the leftist utopia they dream of.
Or people who hate society and are actually loving it that he’s destroying it.
Or people who can’t read.
Guessing they approve of his stance on Israel.
probably NEVER trumpers.
He’ll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.
I have a feeling that only when fox news starts saying he is bad, will the republican supporters also get on board. They don’t see what fox don’t want them to see. USA has a propaganda problem.
Nah, they’ll just find some way to blame Biden.
not really, maybe amongst the older republicans, but the gen xers, millneanls and Zs still support him.
Well, he destroyed the federal government, and he’s locking up brown people while trampling all over their constitutional rights. Naturally, the Republicans love him.
I wonder what his approval rating will look like when he starts locking up non-brown people.
So lower than his first term?
Still not below 40%, so Schumer’s going to keep saying “Democrats can’t take any action.”
Let’s not act like that goal post is staying there.
He just can’t stop winning!!
– conservatives, probably
So…his approval rating is now worse than his own approval rating? Who was the 2nd worst president?
We can only compare to recent history when modern approval ratings were in practice which would be Nixon. Looking farther back it would probably be James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson.
Franklin Pierce’s incompetence is a factor in the Civil War.
Franklin Pierce and it is no contest
