President Donald Trump’s approval rating dropped to 36%, its lowest level since his return to the White House, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Despite Trump’s declining overall popularity, 38% of registered voters polled said Republicans had better stewardship of the U.S. economy, compared to 34% of voters who picked Democrats on the topic.
The GOP would have to basically destroy the world economy before the average US voter even started to think Democrats could do a slightly better job with the US economy.
I’m always confused why he isn’t in the teens or lower. I guess people really are just that clueless and/or dumb.
Their media, too
36% is still 37% too much, and on a more serious note I really think that is worryingly high.
Overall, about 61% of those polled disapproved of the strikes, an increase from 59% who disapproved of the strikes from last week’s poll.
That’s within the margin of error, so the increase in disapproval isn’t a big deal. But the underwater points is a huge fucking deal. 25 points underwater is crazy, and I believe that republicans would vote for any white dude the dems put up, no matter what they say to the pollsters. The mood is wild right now.

Lol. Absolutely not.
Dems gonna run Gavin Newsom and lose in 2028, no matter how bad things get or even if Trump runs for a third term.
Isn’t this more or less the same as it has always been? Even during 1.0, about 33% was the MAGA ride-or-die base. If we had to vote in a Trump election again tomorrow, I’m sure that the missing 18% or more would show up once more to fuck us all.
It’s just a single outlier, his overall approval averaged over several polls is at 41% (RealClearPolling) or 40% (Nate Silver).
Oooo 38%. That’s a surprise, they got it under 40.
Along with the non voters it still looks like the majority of them are awful people.
He does not care
Being a felon rapist pedophile doesn’t help either.
Sadly that part hasn’t hurt him at all.
I’d argue it’s made him more popular with the GOP.
TL;DR: A small percentage of voters woke up and smelled the coffee, but there are still a lot of stupid/willfully ignorant people out there.
And we need to start talking about how we’re going to deal with them after the midterms/2029. As far as I’m concerned their support of this regime should cost them dearly, both monetarily (to fix what they’ve wrought) as well as losing their right to vote. If they don’t want democracy they lose their ability to steal it from the rest of us.
I think it would be more accurate to say a small percentage of Republicans have recently been negatively affected personally.
The gas price increases are what will doom Trump.
It’s where the consequences will finally hit his base and anyone who could possibly wake up will start to wake up. The more times they have to pay too high of gas prices the more wake up moments they will have.
Add to this the existing schism on the right with America first vs MAGA there are real angry racists over there that can peel MAGA out to their side. That’s not necessarily good, but the MAGA coalition is currently on a ticking clock towards total collapse.
What happens post Trump isn’t going to be all flowers and happy times, but it looks right now that the Trump plane is in a nose dive. Maybe they have time to pull up right now, but will they? Anybody’s guess.
The gas price increases are what will doom Trump.
I’m going to say its “energy prices in general” that will sink him. Gasoline is certainly one of the biggest ones. However, Americans are being squeezed on energy prices in all areas. This winter just ending has been pretty cold and natural gas prices have been higher. Electricity prices too with the double whammy of increased demand from data centers and the decline in supply. Supply is not keeping up because of trump’s war on commercial solar and wind generation, and pissing off our wonderful neighbors to the north that have abundant electricity from hydropower for export.
Worse, consumers, hit with high home and car energy prices, will seek substitutions. Home PV solar and EVs are pretty good solutions to this. Then consumers will see that trump canceled PV solar and EV tax credits in his signature BBB.
In June we’ll see the next auction rates for electricity generation. I think its going to be even worse than the last auction rates. With climate change increasing heat during the summers, we’re going have months of eye-popping electricity bills at the retail level right as the November elections are getting underway.
Gas prices are special because they’re plastered all over roadways, which is important for cognition if you struggle with object permanence.
I think for the subset of people who are left still on the Trump train, this is actually a material consideration.
It sucks that it takes gas prices. But I’d rather have someone do the right thing for the wrong reason than not at all.
Back when adults were running things, the children were slapping Biden “I did that” stickers on the pumps at gas stations when the prices weren’t even nearly as bad as they are now.
They’re so stupid, it’s not longer a comedy; it now has become a tragedy. Their stupidity has now doomed most of the world, not just their own country. Selfish imbred fucking hillbillies.
I thought polls announced that they would stop measuring approval rating
Sadly it is only 3 points behind our democratic champion joe biden.
