A new poll shows that about 4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a “terrible” leader in his second term.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also found that about 2 in 10 think he has done an average job in his presidency and 3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president.

44% say Trump’s focused on the wrong priorities in the AP-NORC poll, 21% said an even mix and 10% don’t know

    30% of the population thinks tanking the economy, shredding the constitution, and deporting people to what is essentially a death camp without due process, all totally legal and very cool.

      No, but there are millions who basically do not consume news outside of social media. And as you see on social media, people constantly complain about having to see “politics” and many try to block anything regarding that.

      Like it or not (I don’t) the horrific immigration policies get a lot of support. Other countries are taking notice too.

      Germany is considering removing German citizenship to dual passport holders if they are deemed “extremists” (but with no clear definition of what that means and how it would be determined).

      Since before Trump 2, Italy has already had its own camp in Albania for immigrants and it’s share of friction with judges who said these deportations were illegal.

      Also “let Russia have Ukraine, why do we care” has enjoyed the sort of support people are ashamed to admit but that translates to votes to all the worst politicians.

        Which just demonstrates the stupidity in this country. If this shit was happening while a Democrat president was in office, they’d be on the White House lawn with guns and nooses. The same exact people.

          A lot of the same stuff was happening under the last two D administrations. 3 year olds representing themselves in courts is not a new thing, and most of the detention camps aren’t new. Targeting citizens and deporting to a foreign concentration camp is really the only new part.

    “He’s really doing the stuff that he said he was going to do,” Tanner Bergstrom, a 29 year old Republican from Minnesota, told the Associated Press. He added that Trump is “not making a bunch of promises and getting into office and nothing happens. … I really like that. Even if it’s some stuff I don’t agree with, it’s still doing what he said he was going to do.”

    He’s a Nazi, but at least he’s an honest Nazi.

      I agree with your take, but I’d like to add some context to it.

      Dems constantly go on about the things they want to fix. Public Healthcare. Free College. Money out of politics. Clean air. Clean Water. Etc. But for all the promises they make, we got a Republican healthcare plan that didn’t even include a Public Option, college is more expensive than ever, money is rampant in politics, and all of this with a dose of increased cost of living from housing through food.

      I can see grousing that “Yeah, I don’t like what the Shitgibbon is doing, but at least he’s doing what he promised to do!” I think Dems need to take notice here, but the question is: What will they do when the moneyed class starts yanking their chains? Because I am sure the moneyed class is perfectly happy with a fascist takeover of the USA.

    So 44% think he’s doing terribly, 21% are an even mix, 10% don’t know. That’s 75%. One can only assume that the remaining 25% think he’s doing a great job. I also imagine that there is an element of the shy conservative in these responses so the actual figure is probably like 30-40% think he’s doing pretty good.

      It’s always ~30-40%. Those are the “deplorables” that Hillary famously talked about.

      People who revel in the cruelty above all else.
