[no_hypocrisy]

1. What was he expecting?

Less than 50% of the popular vote is unsustainable.

[underpants]

3. Sheer will. Charisma. Salesmanship

Everyone loves him, just ask everyone he talks to.
🙄

[Hugin]

7. Many tears have been shed by people talking to Trump about how great he is...

Many.

[bigtime]

11. Sir! Sir!

I said with tears streaming down my face

[C_U_L8R]

2. Even Republicans will see that he's weak.

And vulnerable. As well as radioactive.

They just might begin to turn on him, but I wouldn't bet money yet

[underpants]

4. Being underwater on immigration is telling

[displacedvermoter]

6. I wish he would drown

[getagrip_already]

5. When have facts ever affected what he says?

He will just say he is the most popular president ever, and spout lies about lower costs, more income, winning the trade war, etc, etc, lie, lie, lie.

[Brainfodder]

8. Same people who finally figured out that Affordable Care Act IS Obamacare?

Maybe they noticed BLM and Anti-FA are just abbreviations for concepts and ideals and NOT actual organizations?
After all Anti-FA is short for Anti Fascist, perhaps they finally searched on it and spent 5 minutes of rewarding reading into an important concept?

Maybe they got suspicious of a rich man suddenly grasping everywhere all the time for funds which could be seen as poor money management skills maybe if you look too deep into it?

Maybe they realized WOKE is informed and/or educated, and WTAF is wrong with that?

[malaise]

9. You mean this didn't work?

Even the Supremescoukdn’t help their favorite president😂😂😂

[chowder66]

10. His bank account is up and Putin is elated. That's all he cares about.

[twodogsbarking]

12. Mike Reid (PSU football and NFL) co-wrote this song.

[William Seger]

13. And the only reason that the Approves are so high is willful ignorance

... but unfortunately, that has proven to be as hardy as pure stupidity.

[Emile]

14. Need to send that 34 count felon to prison in El Salvador

immediately.

[Warpy]

15. Hard to be a dictator with those numbers

but they're still way too high.

I'm rapidly losing faith in too many of my fellow citizens. The immigration approval rating says too many of them are looking for somebody else to kick around.

[Katinfl]

16. Agree completely.

I have already lost faith in my fellow citizens. If they have not seen him for what he is by now, they never will. Stupid, ignorant people.

[mwmisses4289]

20. Sadly, many of them are

proud to be stupid, ignorant people. They see it as a badge of honor.

[Warpy]

21. I mgith have an advantage there

because I grew up moving around all over the eastern halt of the country, including the south and midwest. I know how widespread blinkered, pig iignorance has always been, especially in those regions. I can't call them stupid because they're not. They are being fed a rotten bill of goods, mostly by religious figures and now by propagandists taking their cues if not their paychecks from Russia.

I still think many can be reached but the Democratic Party leadership has long been too timid to do what is necessary to accomlish this. I think the time is absolutely right to start thinking of a campaign based on "we have two Americas," because the people I know on both sides who are low information types already know that one in their guts. Oh, GOP propaganda apparatchiks will call us Communists, but they always do anyway.

There are passionate people out there, AOC cmes to mind, who are not afraid to address this. The stodgy old fars of any age need to listen to them if they want to win anything, ever.

I mea, think about it, commercials featuring views of the insides of private jets and the airports the wealthy use juxtaposed with people crammed into uncomfortable chairs and cattle class in airlines, VIP areas of hospitals (Mass General featured Oriental rugs and fireplaces when I was there) juxtaposed with a county hospital waiting room, and the list goes on. A nasty voice over asking why everything we the people need to use is underfunded, shabby, and overcrowded would seal the deal.

Unfairness has always triggered both liberals and conservatives. I would love to see our party get smart about it. Our fellow citizens aren't stupid. They are mostly just uninformed. It's time to inform them.

[lame54]

17. Still WAY too high...

Allows him too much time for more chaos

[Johonny]

18. Imagine approving of this shitshow

And what a nightmare of a person you have to be.

22. Maddow Blog-New polls show Trump's approval rating sinking lower, weakening his power

Why should the public care about Trump's sinking approval rating? Because flailing presidents wield less power — domestically and abroad.

To hear Donald Trump tell it, the American people just love his presidency. In recent weeks, he’s insisted he has “the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years.” Trump’s approval rating, he’s claimed, is in “the high 70s.”.....

Reality, however, continues to get in the way.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found Trump’s backing down to just 42%, while just 37% support his handling of the economy.

The latest Pew Research Center poll found Trump’s approval rating down to 40%. It also found him underwater on every major policy area. What’s more, the Pew survey found the president’s support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents down to 75% — noticeably lower than Joe Biden’s 93% support among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents at this point four years ago.

The latest poll by The Economist/YouGov found Trump’s approval rating down to 41%. It also showed him underwater on every issue.

The latest Fox News poll showed Trump with a 44% approval rating — down 5 points from March — and he’s underwater on nearly every issue. On the economy, his support is down to 38%, while on tariffs and inflation, the president’s support is down to 33%.

,,,,,,The answer is simple: Popular presidents wield more power; flailing presidents wield less.

This is true on the international stage — foreign officials are more likely to take seriously leaders who enjoy meaningful domestic backing — but it’s also true on Capitol Hill. As we’ve discussed, members of Congress — who, unlike the incumbent president, have to worry about re-election — care a great deal about the prevailing political winds.

If the public really were rallying behind Trump and he really did enjoy 70% support, Republican lawmakers might be that much more inclined to follow his lead, while Democratic lawmakers in competitive districts would be that much less inclined to put up a fight against the White House agenda.

But with Americans expressing their increasingly unambiguous dissatisfaction with Trump, it effectively creates a permission structure for Congress to defy the president’s wishes. In other words, the more voters turn against Trump, the harder it becomes for him to get his way — which helps explain why he and his allies are scrambling to create an alternate reality in which his support is “soaring” and “skyrocketing,” while his approval rating is in “the high 70s.”
