Fresh data from CNN puts his approval at a meager 34 percent, matching his post-Jan. 6 trough, while a new AP-NORC poll has him tied at a post-2017 low of 33 percent. Quinnipiac paints an even grimmer picture, dropping him to a career low of 32 percent.
How can 1/3 of Americans think this child rapist is doing a good job?
REPUBLICAN
VOTERS
LOVE
RAPING
CHILDREN
AND
GENOCIDE
Everyone who ever gaslit you that this wasn’t the case was wrong.
Republicans are, at their very best, the parents who know their kids are being raped by an adult, and punish the kid for speaking up about it because it embarrasses them and they rather the child rape happen in the dark.
I tried for like 5 min to figure out what this spelled….
RVLRCAG, obvs. Duh.
Revelercag … of course.
Turns out the people who are quickest to say something is unamerican are also the same people who will ignore American values like the Pledge of Allegiance and the US Constitution just to “win.”
The Pledge began as a marketing gimmick:
As branding expert John Gorman outlines, the pledge began with an initiative from The Youth’s Companion, a Boston-based magazine looking to expand beyond its religious roots. To reach a broader audience, the editors launched a nationwide effort to place American flags in public schools, offering them as incentives for new subscriptions.
Not such a great example of “American values”, or perhaps since it started as a corporate marketing gimmick it’s a perfect example.
They’re locked in a decades-long cycle of abusive extraction.
American religion, politics, economics, and ecology are reaching the limits of an unsustainable system that only knows how to extract wealth and power. The Soviet Union collapsed for similar reasons. Above all, that form of government collapsed under the weight of propping up The Party’s false reality and its debts to the truth. Real operating principles flow from hard-learned evidence, experience, and wisdom. Societies simply cannot operate indefinitely from convoluted principals engineered to benefit only the few. This is the flaw in the philosophy behind modern conservatism - it’s fundamentally abusive.
People stick with the devils they know. When long-term planning is negated by the cognitive load of navigating abuse, it can be almost impossible to adapt to new sustainable modes of thinking and living. When the house of cards collapses, those unable to adapt cannot be saved.
Their separation from our reality is total and goes back many years. It’s not like they lived the same life but just this morning decided “nah that child rapist guy is ok.” For years they have been hearing from totally different information sources (I use this term loosely) a totally different narrative. It’s just one partisan witch hunt after another to them. None of it is real.
The fuller and more interesting version of your question is how 1/3 of America came to live in an alternate reality. I think we know most of that story but it is the real phenomenon at the bottom of this
They don’t know or understand what he’s doing. They just know he’s a republican and that’s why they support him.
Because he wears a red tie or whatever the team colors are
It’s probably those that think it’s liberal media lies (I was going to use slander but they probably don’t know the meaning of the word) and he’s doing a good job at sticking it to the Democrats.

Still too high.
“Fuming” and “melts down”. Yeah, I’m not reading that article…
thedailybeast - it’s kinda in the name
It would not be a daily beast article without massive exaggeration on social media posts.
He hadn’t had a stroke so far, so the polls are still not bad enough.
Apart from that, how can a third of the country still not grasp what is happening?
Crazy that 34% still approve of him but I guess realistically it cant get that much lower considering 10% will always be contrarians and 20% is about amount of americans that actively want to destroy the American project. for context I’m not an american
If you look back at Nixon’s numbers, even as he resigned in total disgrace, it will tell you a lot. The teaching of that history might lead one to believe it would be at or near zero approval, but that’s not the case.
I doubt that Americans are all that unique in this by the way. I bet every country has their base of anti-intellectuals who want to see others being hurt (esp. women, POC, gays) and to give the finger to people that know more than they do, have more education than they do, etc. - AKA, the group of people these dumbasses call “elites”.
If you look back at Nixon’s numbers, even as he resigned in total disgrace, it will tell you a lot.
Everything Nixon did was weak sauce compared to Trump. I don’t understand why Nixon was so vilified, his framework for healthcare was eventually adopted as Obamacare, he signed the SALT treaty with Russia, he opened up trade with China, he tailed off troops from Vietnam war supported by Kennedy and Johnson. He ended the draft (started by Johnson) , he started the EPA, he declared war on cancer, increased the NIH, increased CDC…no president increased this spending until Clinton.
Big fucking difference from Trump’s accomplishments, which in his second term are still zero. Literally cannot list one positive action from Trump.
Okay, so the media is ownsd by the right wing, as is the administration and supreme court, and all the tech billionaires, BUT for some reason the polls are owned by the leftwing?
Facism 101: the enemy is both strong enough to be feared and weak enough to ignore at the same time.
I hope that when he dies, he will know he was unloved his whole life. Especially the last 10 of them.
There’s still people that approve of him?
80+ million of them. It reminds me of the George Carlin quote: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Many. I haven’t seen any signs of his support waning where I live. Same signs, flags, bumper stickers, etc. Even the Trump 2028 crap. And if you read the comments on my local newspaper’s website, you’ll hear plenty from them.
His current obsession with the threat of “communism” really seems to be resonating with them.
My god seeing that the us president is 80 makes me fucking sick. I hate it here.
That’s the very least of my concerns. Dude could be 40 or 90 for all I care; the real problem is that he’s an incompetent asshole with malignant narcissism, and always has been.
I’m sure there is a reason Bret Easton Ellis had his characters in American Psycho constantly referencing and idolizing Donvict.
Rule proposal: no putting Trump’s age near the front of the headline unless it’s the headline for which we’re all waiting.
Unless this results in a Democrat landslide so substantial that they sweep every Senate seat up for grabs and win huge in the House, I cannot see this being the end of Trump. It would need to be a more substantial result than this year’s Hungary Parliament elections which awarded Magyar a two-thirds majority that could undo the damage Viktor Orban did upon the state.
Donald has been impeached twice. Both impeachments failed because you need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict. A third impeachment will probably fail unless the scenario I outlined above does happen by some absolute fluke.
If anything, Trump is far more likely to be removed via the 25th Amendment. He’s 80 years old, showing worsening signs of dementia, and I can definitely see the cabinet trying to convince him to stand down and let Vance salvage their chances for 2028. That is unless Trump chooses to challenge their attempts to invoke the 25th Amendment, in which case it goes to Congress. A two-thirds majority will then be needed in both houses to remove Trump.
25th still requires ⅔ of each the House and Senate. It’s like impeachment, but with more steps.
I thought that was only if the President chose to contest it?
Good. I hope it gives that pedo rapist high blood pressure and keeps his sorry ass up at night.
Polls don’t matter, VOTE

I realize a lot of Americans hate the radical left, but could they really be any worse than these shit-for-brains Republicans? And I’m not talking about violent Stalin apologists, who are essentially non-existent offline, but democratic socialists.
Due to the ongoing usa political powerbroker shenanigans, about 1/3 of the american population gave up on the american dream well before trump came on the scene. Once trump started spewing his sweet lies he had them hook, line and sinker. To reiterate, american greed and “business” caused all of this madness then trump came along and capitalized on it.
