1/3 people support the pedophile in chief. Lmao. Let that sink in. “Craters” lol
MAGAs would eat his poo if he told them it was lobster, and accuse us of treason for not eating the “lobster.”
sone of them would forgive him raping their young daughters and say it must have been gods will.
They’d blame the girl for “enticing” these holy Men O’God.
“Craters”
Journalist looks at a slow genty downward slope…
Looks like your screenshot is a month out of date (arc)
Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.
Whether a 5% drop is “slightly down” or “cratering” is a pretty subjective thing, but that’s a sharper decline than we have seen previously.
Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropped to 30% in April from 38% in a March AP-NORC poll.
On the Economy only and in one Poll, which is NOT stated in the title and let’s use an up to date source

no, it’s the same exact slope, and it’s 0.9% not 5%. it’s a minor error bar on a long downward trajectory. He hasn’t changed trajectory, if you want to say it cratered, you need to something that’s changing the trajectory. less than 1% is just a continued shitty slide.
Can’t believe it kinda recovered early last summer. Wasn’t that when he was flipflopping on tariffs? The tariffs the gov now needs to pay back after businesses raised prices to compensate for them?
A shocking number of people are really happy about his immigration policy.
Ah, but you have to zoom all the way in on the very end!
it’s the same 1% drop you see in the rest of the graph. His approval is bad, but that .9% is no crater.
Ready for him to lose midterms, have the Reichstag burn down, and have him declare an emergency.
The last tanker of oil was said to have reached port a couple days ago. Our buffer is gone. Let’s see what happens. Will paper prices meet the real price? What about food prices? Next month should be interesting.
The News:
It’s always 30-something percent in support, every poll.
If we somehow survive this, 60%+ of Americans should file a class action lawsuit against Fox News for causing and contributing to such widespread destruction of our democracy.
Media is consolidating into the hands of right wing billionaires, now CBS and CNN are in those same right wing hands. If it keeps goign there wont be any left wing mainstream media.,
As dire as our situation is becoming, I actually feel generally sanguine about our podcast system. Chuck Todd points this out frequently, as he blames/thanks the corporate authoritarianism for him leaving NBC to start his own podcast. I didn’t care much for him on Meet the Press, but I actually like him a lot now and, more importantly, appreciate his insight and intuitions.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy
We really need a way to hold these people accountable. They know they are manipulating people and lying.
It’s not going to get much lower than this. About all that’s left are the total morons that wouldn’t change if Trump himself had a gun to their child’s head, as well as the criminal sociopaths who appreciate the corrupt MAGA environment that makes their occupation so easy and lucrative.
Neither one of those groups is going to abandon MAGA to any great degree. We might get to 30%, or perhaps one or two points lower, but that’s about it.
So work on those people around you who are close to quitting, or have recently quit. We don’t want them going back, or digging in deeper. They are doubting MAGA right now, so show them what’s going on now, while they are slightly receptive.
“I don’t like how he put a gun to my kid’s head, but I do like how he puts guns to the heads of other children.”
Don’t forget:
“I didn’t vote for this!” <Continues to vote for this>
33% is still shockingly high
29% of voters voted for him in 2024. It’s literally just his cult supporting him at this point–he’s lost the entire rest of the country. Finally.
Do the 67% disapprove enough to do something?
It appears that Europe is similar, with 64% disapproval (from Pew, pick your own source).
When will they do something?
(yes, you could list what they have done, and I could list what Americans have done, but let’s pretend up until this point they have all done “nothing”, as you can’t possibly hold the USA to a higher standard than all of Europe without admitting that the USA is more capable than all of Europe)
If EU stopped using the US dollar for trade, for example… that would be very influential, don’t you think? There’s much more the EU and/or NATO could do.
Meanwhile, EU can’t even be bothered to stop buying Russian oil, gas, fertilizers, etc.
(yes, you could list what they have done, and I could list what Americans have done, but let’s pretend up until this point they have all done “nothing”, as you can’t possibly hold the USA to a higher standard than all of Europe without admitting that the USA is more capable than all of Europe)
There’s a couple things I love about this paragraph:
1: “without admitting that the USA is more capable than all of Europe”
We’re literally talking about how 67% of Americans disapprove of their own leader and still can’t escape American exceptionalism2: It quietly implies that Europeans who disapprove of Trump (the leader of a different country) are equally responsible for doing something about it as actual American citizens.
3: it neatly avoids all the facts that Europe has done things that are effective, even if it does not remove Trump from power, while Americans gather at their “we don’t like Trump” conventions once every couple of months where they stay out of the way and don’t cause too much trouble before cleaning up nicely after themselves and getting back to work on Monday.
4: Despite the inescapable American Exceptionalism it is still the fault of everyone else for not cleaning up their mess for them.
Don’t need voter approval if you don’t let them vote. One dimensional chess!
Even for the demographic that is 'mericans that’s impressively low.
That’s a bit more than the number of people who voted for him. So technically he’s doing better than before he went into office.
Why would a Dictator care about opinion polls?
Generally speaking, authoritarians want the support of at least a plurality of the citizenship. Even in well established authoritarian regimes, widespread public discontent will lead to regime collapse, even if it’s a military coup that just leads to another authoritarian regime.
Nah. Pretty sure Joe Stalin wasn’t upset about public opinion.
Let’s do the Limbo rock! How low can you go?
Seems to high.
