President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have dropped to their lowest level since the start of his second term.
According to the NBC News Decision Desk Poll released on Sunday, only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president. Meanwhile, 63 percent disapprove, including 50 percent who disapprove strongly. Some of that strong disapproval comes from Trump’s handling of skyrocketing costs for most households: Among the over 32,000 American adults that NBC News surveyed over two weeks in March and April, 52 percent said they “strongly disapprove” and 16 percent “somewhat disapprove” of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living.
That’s a large disapproval jump compared to a few months ago. When NBC News asked the same inflation question to Americans last August, 45 percent noted they “strongly disapprove”—seven percentage points lower than this month’s results.
The NBC results also suggest that Trump is beginning to lose his voter base. The number of Republicans who approve of Trump’s performance on inflation sank by 10 percentage points (from 83 to 73 percent) since last summer. The poll also found that overall support for the president dropped by four percentage points (from 87 to 83 percent) among his Republican support in just two months.
37% of Americans have lost touch with reality.
Nearly every political poll shows that about 1/3 of the population has stalwart Nazi ideologies
It’s tribalism.
Look at how many people are Dook fans. Same thing.
37% are evil, stupid, or both.
You’re forgetting brainwashed which sadly probably amounts to plurality of these pissants.
37 is still strangely high.
Enough to get re-elected. 100 million thumbs up, 90 million thumbs down and the rest don’t vote.
The middle ground of idgaf seems to be absent though.
Still 37% yanks approve of him… still way too high for a lying child rapist
Unfortunately the religious population of the US has been turning a blind eye to lying child rapists for generations, I doubt they will stop anytime soon.
No matter how many articles I see about Trump’s popularity tanking, it’s ALWAYS 37% of the population that supports him. I wonder what’s up with that. Like why that exact number? Does about a 3rd of the population have brain damage or something?
And yet every fucking headline says it’s dropped off a cliff. And yet every single time I know it’ll be somewhere around 37%.
And that’s why America is fucked. You don’t need to convince 50% of Americans to be reasonable, you need to convince 80% of decent Americans to be reasonable. There’s literally only 20% margin of error in the people not in a cult to keep the place running.
I think the only way to get out of this mess is to let the whole thing fall apart. I can’t even convince my own sisters to get off of fucking Twitter and Facebook, and they know how bad it is! There’s no way any critical mass of people are going to give enough of a shit to fight unless we’re all homeless. It really feels that way.
I think a lot of people are incurious as well. My own sister thinks Israel “had every right to go to war” and thinks I am some sort of hippie for only ever caring about the harm done to Palestinians. She knows every historical detail about LGBTQ issues, but had never heard of the Nakba, doubts my description of it, and isnt interested in hearing anything about it.
She will stand for her rights, and any female candidate, but I guess everyone else can go fuck themselves. Its difficult.
Remember that, even at the point at which Nixon got on a helicopter and flew off in utter disgrace and shame, he still had people supporting him. 24%. Nearly 1 in 4.
And boy, those people were pissed that he got what they thought was a raw deal by the “liberal media”. Any conservative adults in my life would go on about it, even as Ronnie Raygun’s crew was wrecking America, they still had a burning resentment about it. If I recall, people like Ann Coulter spent some time writing about it.
Faux “News” and hate radio were born out of that seething hatred for the truth.
Wow didnt know that!
Don’t worry, at the rate American power is declining in a few years it won’t matter what the yanks think.
It could drop to 0 and he’d still be POTUS
If it dropped to 0, he would be impeached.
While that’s true, it’s worth remembering that congresspeople and senators see these results, and take them into account when deciding whether to support or oppose trump. If his approval rating gets low enough, other politicians will start seeing it as detrimental to their careers to support him. If just a few republican senators or congressmen start actively opposing him, his power will be significantly reduced. If it goes low enough they might even decide that it’s in their own best interest to either impeach or 25th him. The last two are a loong shot, but the point stands that terrible approval ratings can actually have tangible impact on things.
Someone wrote a program to spit out a “trumps approval rating lowest in all time” article every 9 days or so.
for what its worth, there are no trump flags in my fl neighborhood for the first time ever and i over heard two old men complaining about the economy in a supermarket isle and about having to go on support for the first time in his life, all I could overhear distinctly was “at least with clinton we got”. Purely anecdotal and these vermin that support him are good at crawling under dirt when it suits them, but who knows
all I could overhear distinctly was “at least with clinton we got”.
Telling that they skipped over Obama. Wonder why.
It’s totally crazy how single polls are considered newsworthy. Aggregate polling had him bottoming out at 39.3 or so, but he’s already moving back up and is over 40% again. E.g. https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin So sure, his ratings are very low right now, but it’s just random chance that a few polls were significantly below 40%.
Until we are in a general strike its not low enough
Should be lower. That 37% still support him is incredible.
Fuck off. That’s not a fucking drop. You’re literally making that up to make me feel better. It doesn’t.
I’m reporting this for being a blatant lie.
I hate these posts. It’s always the same. 37 or 38. I want it ZERO.
Outsider here, what does it mean? He’s still going to run till end of his turn regardless?
Seems like at this point news agencies can just automate this headline to be sent out on a monthly basis.
With the exact same numbers
That’s the more depressing part, yeah…
Mid 30s is when the bad stuff like impeachment or resignation becomes possible, but it needs to stay there for more than a few weeks.
He’s right about at the Sarah Palin/Nixon resignation floor.
