What! This despite one-zillion Americans newly employed picking fruit and bussing tables since he entered office?

Sad part is, a lot of the people giving him bad poll numbers voted for him.

Despite it being quite clear what a disaster he'd be.

"Gallup polling shows that Trump's approval ratings at the six-month mark in both of his terms are lower than any other modern president at the same time in their administrations, at 38% and 40% for each term respectively."

This is actually pretty funny as they link to 3 polls in the article itself:

YouGov/Economist: 42%
Morning Consult: 45%
Rasmussen: 49%

This would give an average of 45.3% - but, then it would not make headlines. So, they chose the 1 outlier poll. ----, the RCP average even has Trump at 46.3% - this is reason why NO ONE believes the lying MSM anymore. Total fake news all the time.

46.3%

That's still ------. Trump even rates lower among interior decorators which is his preferred demographic.

Lowest Approval Rating in modern times, after two tries, is impressive indeed... but not unexpected as Pres Historians rate him Dead Last among all Presidents; even the conservative ones all have him in the Bottom 5.

No wonder his Base relates to him SO well!

No, dumbf*(&, they pick a poll that has been around decades so they can compare current data to historical data and draw the conclusion based on that poll.

Maybe someday you'll know how to analyze something with any semblance of competency.

Only temporarily until project 2025 takes care of that.

Obviously these historians are marxists and socialists. Or some kind of bad "ist". Murderers and rapists probably.

I think some historians are about to "go thru some things".

Dissent will not be tolerated by the Mad King.

Trump is making BIG bank, and we're not likely to ever have a fair election again. Other than to stroke his ego, why would Trump care about the polls?

No one cares about the U.N.

The U.N. needs to pass the plate for african nations, I hear tell everyone is starving other there because the U.S. is not throwing tax payer money around.

Trump could poll at 2% and then win in a 99% landslide "election" and his cult would call it legitimate.

This tracks even with Rasmussen Approval Index:

His worst was -14 in early April, and he's now back to -9.

Are you -- ckin' drunk?

To the point, Trump let tons of food waste away in storage that was meant to feed starving people. Not a peep from you dip s h i ts screaming "waste, fraud, and abuse!" By the way, clearly ZERO fraud identified by DOGE, right? Where are the charges, BOAZ!?

I am ashamed to be an American under the presidency of Trump. He has ruined or is actively trying to ruin so much that used to be best about this country. I think the recent picture of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes and crying really sums it up.
