He’s doing a speedrun.
40% approval? As a non-american, I'm actually curious what kind of propaganda is still convincing these people.
Cult mentality largely. And a bunch of people who don’t pay attention, haven’t lost their jobs and still answer pollsters.
He won the election with 49% of the vote. I think the majority of those people just have the “let him cook” mentality. Like Trump knows what he’s doing and this lull in the economy is temporary pain that will be replaced by the greatest economy ever. That’s the most generous interpretation I can given
I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.
But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc... it's inexcusable.
Yeah, 49% of people voted for him. He gained voters from last time. Mind blowing.

Lmao so he's both the first AND second worst president of all time. He's more racist than Woodrow Wilson, dumber that George W. and more corrupt than Warren G. Harding.
I wish we wasn't a narcissist so he could feel the deep shame that he should about that.
We can only hope he experiences a moment of clarity just before he dies.

Donald Trump is completely incompetent.
You'd think people would know this already, seeing as he was already fucking President once and all, with even then totally predictable and insane levels of corruption and incompetence. Somehow that record never really came up during the election, amazing.
the MSMs were working 24/7/365 sanewashing him since he lost in 2020, it had a positive effect on his image, because he was getting free press 24/7+ putin backed right wing grifters were helping hammering the messaging in young men voters too.
He is. And we let him be president. What's that say about us?
I hate to say it (I really hate to say it), but I don't think Trump is incompetent. I think he has different goals than you think he does, and is executing them successfully.
I mean, obviously he's a profoundly stupid person, but he's some kind of idiot-savant that manages to succeed at his criminally evil goals despite that. Might be why all the dipshits admire him so much, come to think of it.
His goal is to stay out of prison, which he's 100% successful at.
Why do you think Vance is doing all the traveling and trump plays golf all day? He doesn't care. He got a get out of jail free card already.

Pathetic that people voted for this traitor cunt. Idiots.
Kind of amazing on the break out seeing how much republican poll support he's still getting.
NEW Economist/YouGov Apr 20-22 % who approve | disapprove of Trump's job performance
U.S. adult citizens 41% | 54%
Last week 42% | 52%
Start of term 49% | 43%
- Democrats 7% | 92%
- Independents 30% | 59%
- Republicans 86% | 12%
- Men 45% | 49%
- Women 37% | 59%
He'll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.
Nah, they'll just find some way to blame Biden.
I have a feeling that only when fox news starts saying he is bad, will the republican supporters also get on board. They don't see what fox don't want them to see. USA has a propaganda problem.

Well, he destroyed the federal government, and he's locking up brown people while trampling all over their constitutional rights. Naturally, the Republicans love him.

Doesn't matter
Fascists don't leave office willingly.
lower than his first term? wow he outdid himself
Anyone surprised?
Yes, I'm very surprised. Not because he's dropping, but because the disproval rate is 54%, with 41% still approving of his job thus far....
What in the seven hells is wrong with Americans!?
The conservative mind sees any kind of disloyalty as immoral.
People (and whole ass families) make “being republican” their whole identity

A critical lack of empathy for their fellow man. Americans have had the concept of "fuck you got mine" so engrained into them, couple this with their overall lack of intelligence and you can see how a grifter promising them everything won the nation.
I think there's a few reasons.
-
People are tuned into propaganda. I get exposed to it once in a while and it's abhorrent. Arguing, yelling, and just a deluge of lies. It pretends to be important. It pretends to be news. But really, it's more like 1984's 2 minutes of hate diluted down and stretch out so people can get their fill whenever they want (or for older people, just consume it constantly).
-
For many less politically-involved people, they are still emotionally and culturally tied to their political "team". For many, it's easier to just go along with the shifts in the party than to change identity.
-
People are lazy/busy/uninterested. People generally don't want to learn about economics, history, politics, sociology, psychology, etc. This leaves a huge hole for someone like Trump to say and do the things he's been doing without his uneducated base calling BS. I took 2 100-level economics electives long ago for my degree and saw right through his tariff lies because this stuff isn't that complicated.
-
Messaging. The right-wing messaging is mostly half-truths and all-out lies, but they are incredibly effective at getting their messaging out and believed. A lot of it is just repetition, repetition, repetition. The left really needs to get their shit together. I'm not looking for propaganda like the right is doing, but the Dems started loosing so badly because the right would grab an issue like a rabid Chihuahua and just not let go. Benghazi is a perfect example. Fix the messaging -- keep is simple and just repeat it forever.

I am not from the usa. And i am suprised his graph made it above the 0 line.
So lower than his first term?
Still not below 40%, so Schumer's going to keep saying "Democrats can't take any action."
Let’s not act like that goal post is staying there.
I'm sure we'll be hearing a thoughtful introspective acknowledgement prompted by this information soon and not some all caps 'FAKE NEWS!1!1' proclamation.
He just can't stop winning!!
-- conservatives, probably
I must be nostradamus because I keep predicting this shit months in advance
Anyone surprised by this, please raise your right arm up at an angle, palm facing forward.
Worst president in history so far!
The record will probably stand for the next hundred years .... but Americans have a habit of surprising the world with their stupidity.
Wtf is this even talking about? 41% approval isn't even close to the lowest a president has ever had for a term average, let alone a single day.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most divisive president in history with the delta of approval from the left and right being so starkly contrasted, but 41% isn't even that low.
Nixon's second term approval was 34.4%
Bush jr's approval rating was 36.5% in his second term.
In terms of historical low water mark points:
- Clinton got as low as 37%
- Biden got as low as 36%
- Dumpy has gotten as low as 34%
- Carter got 28%
- Bush Jr was down to 25%
- Nixon got down to 24%
- Truman got down to 22%.
