Senior data anallyst says the numbers have shwon no sign of recovery over several months.
When the Republicans win the election, we’ll know it was rigged
According to Gallup Truman has the lowest approval rating at 22%. Trump isn’t on empty yet.
Truman dropped two nukes and got blamed for ww2 without reason, if his approval wasn’t low it would be odd.
I don’t even understand how it’s non-zero.
Oh, it’s the racism, sexism, xenophobia and of course the current Faux fave: transphobia. That’s about the only thing sustaining his numbers.
Hate and distraction
By comparison Friederich Merz, the German Chancellor, has a 13% approval rating. Emanuel Macron, the French President, has an approval rating of 18%
Meanwhile Trump never went under 35%.
I think that’s almost an inevitable mathematical difference between a two party system and multi party systems with n > 2.
The hardened center of a party won’t abandon their guy at the head of the executive, so they form the floor for the approval rating. In a party ostensibly representing half the people, that hardened center will be large, and is apparently 35% large for the Republicans.
In comparison France has 8 relevant parties, Germany has 6 relevant parties (or 5 if we combine the Union, which is mostly just separated into Bayern/not-Bayern but otherwise the same). So their hardened centers will also be much smaller.
I don’t really have much hope for the US system, this concentration of power with constant internal stalemating will eventually kill them. But the incumbent parties don’t want to change the voting system. So there is no way out.
But Europe still has thinking people. The US only has fanatic fan bases.
how’s about we collectively fuck off with approval ratings until there are actual consequences for his actions?
It also means that his base - about 1/3rd of the proof - will never abandon him.
Which is unfortunately about the bar you need for authoritarianism. 1/3 of the people to actively support you and 1/3 of the people to do nothing and you’re there.
Hmm I think I’ve heard bad polling for Trump before
Yet I still drive by a shipping container sized poster of that stupid ‘someone shot at me’ photo op pic regularly
But if you just dismantle democracy you don’t need the people’s support. And that project is well underway.
We could have had our first woman president, but no…
If he holds on to power past January 2029, he won’t need anyone’s approval to do it.
I’ll believe it more when i start seeing people’s garish trump signs come down.
Where are you? I don’t see any up, but I haven’t in a while. We had a neighbor that flew a stupid donnie flag, but that came down sometime last year.
In a rural and red depressed cesspool near a border in a purple state.
Not really relevant, polling anyways. Not like he’s up for election and pretending he gave a shit about anyone other than himself, well youre probably part of the problem if youve have given that narrative any wind.
What does he care? He’s got what he needed.
No worries, shithead will replace shitforbrains on the next election as predicted by shitforbrains.
Paywalled, maybe I’m wrong. But no, it’s not stuck on empty. It’s stuck at 35%, pretty much the exact same as Biden during his term, and Trump during his first term. Approval ratings seem increasingly useless.
