Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.

Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

    Oh look, another 6/10 survey. File it with the “2/3 of Americans aren’t massive idiots” and “60 to 70% of people agree good things are good and bad things are bad” surveys.

    It’s the drawer next to the “51% vote for nonsense” drawer.

      The numbers have been remarkably stable for 10 years, given what a shitshow it has unmistakably been.

    Lol.

    Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we’re only at 6 of 10?

    This nation is a fucking clown car flying off a cliff made of clowns into a black hole of endless Mandelbrot clowns.

    To be clear, this country is far, far too stupid for anything other than continued collapse to happen even after this pedophile is being eaten by worms.

      It is really worrisome news.

      The media manipulation of the rich works too well.

      No free country can survive without publicly funded independent media.

    In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.

      Poll yesterday said 26% approval rating, which is a record in the US. The title should be 2.6/10. The Guardian probably sought out Trump supporters in particular?

        As someone who voted for Kamala Harris… I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate… relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran…

          That is 100% fair but it’s irrelevant. At this point it doesn’t matter what skeletons she had in her closet or what she supported because there is NOTHING she could support that would be worse than what we currently have.
