Wow. New Quinnipiac poll finds Trump's approval at 38-54. And note this:

Trump approval on immigration: 43-54
Approval on his deportations: 40-56

Can we say Trump isn't winning on this issue yet?

This is abhorrent:

I'll consider the country has SOMEWHAT come to its senses once his numbers are below 20. I know. Not holding my breath.

spudman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well said.

bippity.bsky.social•6 days ago

If ICE had done all of this while looking like cops, these numbers would look a lot different. Instead they look like a dystopian Mad Max fever dream. Not shocked that this visual isn’t popular.

What voters want is impossible and mostly really stupid.

wanderwomannc.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s why I never understood why the Dreamers Act never passed. If we’re good with immigrants already here, why are the adults brought here as children still deportable?

andersenf.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump was very clear in his campaign that he wanted illegal immigrants out of the US, no matter how long they have been in the country and how integrated they are, so rep. voters must approve what is going on now and can't claim that they didn't know what Trump intended to do.

simonwdc.bsky.social•6 days ago

This Quinnipiac poll is the worst of Trump 2.0 so far. It is all bad news for him even on immigration and deportations.

mundoh.bsky.social•6 days ago

He needs to pay attention to his foley catheter.

flatirons.bsky.social•6 days ago

It will only go down from there

I’m looking for any joy today. This might be it.

GOOD!

Conclusion: One third of the US population is stupid.

pedroyokes.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don’t know about that, some of them are just really hateful. And some both.

dano66.bsky.social•6 days ago

I have to agree, a large percentage is old, angry and can’t accept change. They are easy to brainwash…

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•6 days ago

Some of those folks are young or middle aged. We old folks are not a monolith.

dano66.bsky.social•6 days ago

My long time friend cannot accept change. LGBTQ is one, he’s from Maine, the Trans capital of the US, according to him. He sounds like my Dad in 1964 when the Beatles came, long hair bothered him, oh the music…me, why should I care. I hope everyone is happy…

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's sad.

I didn't grow up hearing anti-LGBT messages though. I heard the "love one another" stuff at church.

So, I guess I haven't changed either!

jeffadler.bsky.social•6 days ago

and yet 1/3 of the fck’g country thinks he is handling things well. seriously F’KD.

Ouch.

More bad polling for Trump.

That can’t be true as he told us he’s getting poll ratings like no one’s ever seen before.

holliwinters57.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's only going to get worse for him. Here's hoping we have free elections in 2026 and 2028 and we can take back our country from Trumpism.

moviefanforever.bsky.social•6 days ago

He always has that 40% approval the really brainwashed MAGA cult still hanging on no matter what he says or does

cryptosantra.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh, no! More bad polling?

Expect another provocation. Will Trump deploy Marines in Chicago? Sic HSI/ICE on legal protesters again? Quit NATO?

Trump will do anything to distract us from his failing murder-budget, Epstein, corruption, and bad polling.

Will we fall for it again?

mika1957.bsky.social•6 days ago

Absolutely and deploying the military is a dangerous game these guys are trained to kill not deal with their own people on their own soil quite a bad dilemma I guarantee you the first one killed will be by a military member and they will lose credibility in the United States for a very long time

cryptosantra.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's the problem. The LAPD is vicious, but their primary training is about law enforcement. They're the pros. The National Guard doesn't have that training, and the Marines simply don't do law enforcement; their strategies for civilians should terrify any non-psychotic American leader.

mika1957.bsky.social•5 days ago

Exactly I grew up in the military family my father was a high-ranking officer their second nature almost the first nature is to kill that's what they're training does turns them into dangerous people I could not touch my father while he was sleeping or I would end up dead it was brutal

It's always also worth considering when the poll took place. "This RDD telephone survey was conducted from June 5 – 9."

These last two days have felt like two months. The trendline isn't going to improve any time soon.

aintnodisco.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’ll never know it. His handlers will tell him the numbers are reversed and he’ll repeat it at every microphone.
The numbers have to continue to decline and he must be asked about them repeatedly if there’s any hope of him learning the truth.

west-is-west.bsky.social•6 days ago

Notable that Congressional Dems have a lower approval than Congressional GOPs!

21-70 (a poor 41-53 even among Dems!)

Just a wee bit of room for improvement, if they'll show a little spine and fight.

hellscapenavigator.bsky.social•6 days ago

i think people basically want an orderly process and to know we're checking for like, tuberculosis and al Qaeda or whatever.

Please everyone.... stop reading polls. Stop doing polls. They are utterly worthless.

avirginian1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Precisely. This shouldn't be so hard for political reporters to understand.

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•6 days ago

When moderate conservatives hear the word "immigrant criminals" they think of those who commit violent or property crimes, mostly the same as you and I think.

When extreme conservatives hear "immigrant criminals" they think of anyone who crossed the border without paperwork.

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•6 days ago

"If they're here illegally, they're a criminal" appeals strongly to the race purists, but now the moderates on the right are starting to see the horse they hitched themselves to.

Or at least I hope they are.

cryptosantra.bsky.social•6 days ago

And "race purists" is doing some heavy lifting, there.

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know this is a hot take, but not everyone is racist in the same way Stephen Miller is racist.

All racism is bad, don't get me wrong! But folks like Miller and his cadre make it a lifestyle.

cryptosantra.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, Stephen Miller is Master-Class-level racism.

Dime-store Goebbels, indeed
