When I turn on cable news (in this case MSNBC) and the talk is about Trump’s approval ratings, I’m reminded how we got to this place where a lawless felon is sitting in the Oval Office again.

I have watched zero Mainstream news since 11/8/2024
I watch Lawrence and Rachel on Bootlegs 2 hours after show!
So no ratings to MSNBC they will be bought for $10 Billion by Musk or Zuck. Next 4 months. FCC will approve. State TV like Russia.
PBS closed its DEI office yesterday; collectively the news media have shown such cowardice, if they all joined together in solidarity it’s quite possible the course we are on could have a positive effect (naive) perhaps …
Trump played the brash, naughty boy who "tells it like it is," rallying fans by hating who they hate. "I'm one of you!" Democrats, lost in weak messaging, failed to inspire change.
So was it GOP success or Dem failure? In the end,Trump didn’t rise—we stumbled.
Elections aren't won-they're lost!
100% - right up there with talking about poll numbers and the impact on the 2028 elections. Incredibly lazy reporting. Pick up a phone- there are so many people with enlightening stories to tell that would put what’s happening in context
First they need to explain how many people were polled, the State breakdown, and the days and time the poll was done. Polls are money-making machines that can be manipulated to come out with a desired outcome.
Chris Jansing is the worse🙄; such an intellectual lightweight!Will never understand why MSNBC thought she deserves hosting an entire 2 hours of “news” reporting.
I did a search today on his approval ratings and my first thought was how could it be that high and second thought was I trust the reporting system as much as I trust the voting system. I trust nothing and no one
Absolutely crazy levels of sane washing gets done for Trump. If any other politician had even a fraction of his record they wouldn’t get voted in. The cult of personality surrounding him is nuts.
I have a hack for this. (Just for the small problem of being pissed off when I turn on cable news, though. Not the much more dangerous problem that trump and his confederates are doing everything they can to destroy American democracy.)
In my life there have been two major anomalies that changed America forever. Sept. 11, 2001, we lost our innocence, and those born after have no clue how carefree we were until that day. On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump slithered up from hell and started the Great Race War coveted by the far right.
Exactly. I’m anxiously waiting for MSNBC - across the board - to start talking about the stuff that matters and what can be done to protect our democracy. Polls are the least of our worries.
There are 3 crossover districts in the House held by Republicans (but won by Harris for president)--NE-2; NY-17; and PA-1. We need to be lobbying these reps. to break with the chaos of the GOP & support a motion to vacate the SOTH. Then join Dems in voting for Hakeem Jeffries. NOW! No time to lose!
Well I had to troll some people on r/conservative that said his approval is at the highest but they only read the byline where his disapproval rating was higher, just that his approval rating went slightly up….hope that makes sense
All his ignorant followers see is the Pig Pen-like (as in the Peanuts character) flurry of activity and they think he’s doing all kinds of great things. They don’t see the danger or the stupidity, or that he’s not fulfilling any of his promises.
It is malpractice for any "progressive" media (or legacy outlet for that matter) outlet to talk about anything other than President Musk's coup d'état and the felon's minions degradation of the courts; which are our only remaining guardrail since the Congress will do nothing. God help us all.
The USA is making enormous mistakes by overestimating itself, underestimating its friends and allies, and trying to rule the world with a gangster-like approach.
I didn't seen the piece, but approval ratings are perhaps the most direct evidence we have about how the voters are reacting to all the destruction and chaos that Trump is generating.
The people who are not dissatisfied with Trump are not lining up to resist, in any fashion.
Have taken a refreshing break from tv news since the election and seriously, I feel vastly more informed because I'm reading and tracking source material, etc.
Too many people don't see the interconnectedness of society. They can't foresee how what the trump adm is doing will affect their lives and they will not make the connections when it eventually does impact their lives.
The media is failing us every day. That includes MSMBC. His approval is nowhere near at 53%. they're are lying and misleading us. This is the dismantling of our country.
I don’t even know how anybody can track his approval ratings at this point.Majority of the social media platforms are issuing propaganda for all of his followers to see. Not even sure if any actual polls are legit nowadays. The worst part is the maga culture believes everything they see on fb and x
He should have no approval rating at all. Our country is in disarray, gas is up 50 cents a gallon and groceries are unfordable How is he retaining any support? I don’t understand it.
IMO, it's important that we be made aware of how many people actually think he is doing good things. It's the only way we can counter that with the fact that the things he is doing are NOT good things. Being ignorant to his appeal is how we got to this place where a lawless felon is in the WH.
By all means, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC - keep going with the "Both Sides" treatment. I'm sure the German press had a lot of "both sides" coverage as the Führer took over. Well done.
What there is still cable news? I thought it was all FoxNews & Assoc. I pretty much stopped when Anderson Cooper had sexual assaulter townhall; and MSNBC only talked about Biden's age.

He's up net 10% over the same time frame in his first term.
In multiple polls.
trusted independent journalists or listen to BBC news.

Public-seems like nothing bad to see here. Is trump doing a good job? Sure, if you say so
MSM -announces trump's (dubious) approval rating going up
Lather, rinse, repeat
The people who are not dissatisfied with Trump are not lining up to resist, in any fashion.
was pretending that she was running
against Ronald Reagan, and not this
monster?
