Trump Has Lowest Approval of Any New President Since WWII

FYI:

FiveThirtyEight " Bias and Credibility
mediabiasfactcheck.com

LEFT-CENTER BIAS

"These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Overall, we rate FiveThirtyEight (538) Left-Center Biased based on story selection that slightly favors the left but does not favor the progressive left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information, a solid record with poll analysis, and a clean fact check record"

Makes one questin the accuracy/validity of the poll numbers.

So, RFK just said in his hearing that he and ------- have discussed Mifepristone and that they agreed that the safety of the drug should be looked at.

This is the precursor to outlawing the drug.

It is AMAZING how right I am all the ------- time.

I was told abortion was safe in ----------- states.

I just heard the HHS secretary nominee say that the drug will be studied, meaning it will be outlawed.

Magat scum

Then find the source polls, dips*&^.

You do know that 538 doesn't actually conduct the polls, right? It's an aggregator and analysis site.

You know, for being such a clueless motherf*&^er you talk way too much and way too confidently.

Then there is this poll:

"Rasmussen Reports...

LOL this dips*&^ shows his a&^ by discounting polls he thinks are conducted by 538...

While citing a Rasmussen poll that tells him what he wants to hear.

FFS. Can a single day go by where MAGA doesn't prove to the world just how dumb average intelligence is? Please? Just one?

"It is AMAZING how right I am all the ------- time."

I tried to get this as my handle on this site but it's too many characters.

Makes one questin the accuracy/validity of the poll numbers.

Why? Because they "rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information, a solid record with poll analysis, and a clean fact check record"?

It isn't rocket science believing Trump stole this election with the aid of Musk.

Trump bragged about how Musk stole the election for him.

Doesn't matter.

Democrats won't do anything about it.

Wondering why MSGT didn't post this one, as well...

Rasmussen Reports " Bias and Credibility

"Who do you trust more?" The choices were Donald Trump, the news media, or not sure. A plurality of 44 percent chose Trump. Only 41 percent chose the news media. Fifteen percent were unsure."

Donald trump IS the media. He feeds them lies and they broadcast them.

@#8 ... Then there is this poll:

"Rasmussen Reports surveyed 1,245 likely voters between January 21-23, and asked a very simple, straightforward question "Who do you trust more?" ...

OK, since you did not provide a link to that poll, I went searching.

Here's what popped up in the browser ...

Republicans Trust Trump a Lot; Other Voters, Not So Much
www.rasmussenreports.com

... Who is more trustworthy, President Donald Trump, the news media, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation? For Republican voters, questions like this are easy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters trust Trump more than the news media, while 41% trust the media more and 15% are not sure. Similarly, 40% trust Trump more than the FBI, while 46% trust the FBI more and 13% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.) ...

For starters, the questions of that poll seem to lead towards a specific answer. Apparently typical of Rasmussen polls.

But when I try to find the margin of error in the poll, I am greeted with ... "You need a Platinum account to access this page"

So, the partial results of the poll seem to be published just to make money?

He could always invadeIraq like Bush Sr. //////7 Jr. did. Yjenopposition to the President can be called "unpatriotic."

Democratic Party:
31% - Favorable
57% - Unfavorable (-26)

Way to go Lumpers

IAMRUNT, Greenlanders despise the 300 lb sack of---------- you idolize.

@#21

Nice try.

The Party is not the President.

The thread is about the approval of Pres Trump, specifically, not the parties.

So, what else yer got, besides a lame deflection attempt?

Whatever you think the "news media" is now - does social media and podcasts, where people get their "news" "fed" to them, count? - the "news media" has been polling less and less trustworthy for decades, so this "simple" poll - comparing new President to "something" most people don't have high opinion on and care about even less - in first days of Trump's "honeymoon" period is not only meaningless ("simply" designed to show Trump "winning" SOME poll - talk about bias!) but isn't at all favorable to Trump! 56% said he is not trustworthy, and that's compared to "news media" which usually polls in low 30s - latest 2024 media poll showed 69% have no or little trust in "major" news media.

Now Reuters/Ipsos poll just few days later (and still not "full Trump") Jan 24-26:
|------- Americans disapprove Trump's early moves, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
The poll had a margin of error of about 4 percentage points.

"While it does seem Trump is getting a honeymoon to some extent, his numbers are still not impressive by historical standards..."

During Trump's first term, his approval rating hit as high as 49% during his first weeks in office but he closed out his term at 34% approval.

It may be too early to evaluate whether Trump is squandering his political capital... But the poll shows that many of his early actions have been supported only by his hardcore base. ...

Only 25% of respondents supported renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. 59% of respondents, including 30% of Republicans, opposed Trump's moves to end federal efforts to promote the hiring of women and members of racial minority groups. 59% of respondents - including 89% of Democrats and 36% of Republicans - said they opposed ending birthright citizenship.

Public is split along partisan lines on billionaire Elon Musk, Trump's most prominent ally. 75% of Republicans in the survey said they had a favorable view of Musk, 90% of Democrats said they had an unfavorable view.

50% of poll respondents said the country was on the wrong track when it came to the cost of living, compared to 25% who said it was moving in the right direction. The rest said they weren't sure or didn't answer the question.
-------|

So early polls are not great now and a lot of time to go down from here (as they tend to do with Trump) particularly because he can't do much about the economic issues the public really worries about (consumer confidence dropped and other numbers this week were not good and well below expectations)... not that he cares anymore. But the GOP at some point might.

@#24 ... Whatever you think the "news media" is now - does social media and podcasts, where people get their "news" "fed" to them, count? ...

Lately, yeah, social media and podcasts do count, for better or worse. My view? For worse.

But I'll keep going ..

... "While it does seem Trump is getting a honeymoon to some extent, his numbers are still not impressive by historical standards..." ...

So, I am not the only one who has noticed that?

... Public is split along partisan lines on billionaire Elon Musk, Trump's most prominent ally. 75% of Republicans in the survey said they had a favorable view of Musk, 90% of Democrats said they had an unfavorable view. ...

Yeah, but as time goes on and people learn more about Mr Musk, the trend seems to be lower approval numbers. Similar to what happened to Gov DeSantis when he threw his hat into the Presidential race, i.e., th emore people leaned of him, the less they liked him.

Where it all wind up? ...

Too soon to tell.

"Trump Has Lowest Approval of Any New President Since WWII"

And look how much he's managed to do with such little support? Makes everyone that came before him seem ineffectual by comparison.

Except he's doing it by EO and little care for consequences. It's always easier to break something than to build it.

And look how much he's managed to do with such little support? Makes everyone that came before him seem ineffectual by comparison.

I'm not so sure. What has he actually done? By that I mean actual on the ground stuff instead of press releases and the general Buffoon chest thumping?

So sayeth the lying media

I suspect DonOld has already peaked.

Trump bragged about how Musk stole the election for him.

Doesn't matter.

Democrats won't do anything about it.

He didn't steal it. He bought it. A very different thing.

Presidents, especially "lame ducks" who just escaped prison time and are looking for revenge, "don't need no stinking support" to do the damage they are allowed (or even not allowed, but to be adjudicated later) to do by law. "Stroke of the pen - law of the land!" - Paul Begala on Bill Clinton's EOs.

Makes everyone that came before him seem ineffectual by comparison.

You are confusing "hyperactivity" with effectiveness and positive (in normal sense of the word) results - welcome to ADHD / Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder!

"Effectiveness" or "effectively" don't inform about the direction (positive or negative) or give a comparison to a standard of the given effect.

Quantity of activity doesn't imply quality of results. It's true that, in some cases, "quantity has a quality of its own" - presidency is clearly not that case.

Spitballing out loud, worse yet rashly acting on, dumb ideas that his "best people" provide to him, are signs of HD, not sound judgment. That's how Trump run into the ground and bankrupted nearly every business (including real estate and gaming), while stuffing his own pockets - yet still was broke until Mark Burnett (current US envoy to UK) stumbled onto him for "unreality TV" show Apprentice:

www.newyorker.com - How Mark Burnett Resurrected Donald Trump as an Icon of American Success | With "The Apprentice," the TV producer mythologized Trump " then a floundering D-lister " as the ultimate titan, paving his way to the Presidency. (must read if you want to know more about Trump / "branding" / marketing / "power of media" / "unreality TV")

Enjoy the Celebrity Apprentice 4.0 s**tshow, if you want. You can also buy "matching" $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins and whatever else he's selling.

Unfortunately, unlike the weekly TV show we didn't have to watch, we must live in the "unreality TV" he is putting on. Hopefully the results won't be disastrous and irreparable for the US, like it was for his businesses.

Trump approval rate is better than his first term.

You liberals are idiots.

President Donald Trump is seeing higher approval ratings now than at the beginning of his first term, according to recent polling.
Why It Matters

Republicans are currently enjoying a wave of popularity nationwide"Trump improved his margins in all but two states in the 2024 presidential election, and the GOP now controls both the Senate and the House.

Polls have also shown that Trump has higher approval ratings among groups that don't traditionally vote Republican, indicating a realignment in voter demographics that could have lasting implications for future elections.
What To Know

According to the latest polling from Emerson College, conducted between January 27 and 28 among 1,000 registered voters, Trump's approval rating currently stands at 49 percent, while 41 percent disapprove. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
