Trump's average approval on March 4 was 48.1% approve, 47.4% disapprove. On April 4, based on polling completed BEFORE the tariffs and the market meltdown, Trump had sunk to 46.7% approve, 49.9% disapprove. Safe bet that new polling will show more deterioration. www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr... - ThreadSky

Will matter if Republicans in Congress pay atten to polls.

citizenoversight.bsky.social•3 days ago

Such wishful writing for 3% pts. The obvious sicko Americans result is that 48% of polled Americans like the fascist lard ass destroyer in chief even as he annihilates their retirement and life savings and SSI. Fucking morons in this country.

bodyballistics.bsky.social•3 days ago

How the hell does he even poll that high? Who is taking these samples?

margueritefahey.bsky.social•3 days ago

One would hope, but I’m not holding my breath. His hold on his cult is ironclad. 😡

casmudde.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s no real change. Squarely within margin of error.

davethebest.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who is the bigger POS? The POS or the person who approves of the POS?

fresistl.bsky.social•3 days ago

How can 46% approve of this shit show?

bd-nola.bsky.social•2 days ago

Bad polling.

fresistl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hope you are right

luigivercotti.bsky.social•3 days ago

Racism, malevolence and willful ignorance.

fresistl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trumps economic recession, apparently

mynameisalexp.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those approval ratings are surreal

dersie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Question to the silly approvers: how can anybody identify himself with this guy or his ideas?

paulcurran.bsky.social•3 days ago

How in God’s name can 46% of the people in any sane country approve of this man’s madness? It should be 46 people, 46 hopelessly lost irredeemable souls, NOT 46% of the damn country.

c-old.bsky.social•3 days ago

His approval ratings are in double digits, a sad testament to the American voter.

mrshim86.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a cult. Most will never realize they’ve been duped even at the end, and the few Trumpers that do will only realize their mistake after it’s too late. America has been transformed into a giant Jonestown.

pirate40.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only polling that matters to Trump is what Putin says.

rocinatereturns.bsky.social•3 days ago

But can it get below 40? What is the number to watch

brettrocks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who the F are these 46.7% people that still support him?

themisscale.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s unbelievable how slow people are understating the gravity of the situation.

pham60.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why in the world isn’t it looking like the stock market?

kansaseyes.bsky.social•3 days ago

MAGA will never admit error. Palestinian Americans don’t regret their Trump or 3rd party vote. The mother of the unvaxxed little girl who died of measles is still anti-vax, saying it wasn’t so bad for her other 5 kids.The greater the consequences, the harder it is for them to admit they were wrong

david-stone.bsky.social•3 days ago

It no longer matters. He's invincible now and, to such a degree, he's surmounted his vanity issues. His approval now will be measured in dollars and not the love of supporters (whom he hates).

brucerfeldman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nonetheless, you can always fool at least 30% of Americans 100% of the time.

bkchicago.bsky.social•1 day ago

Think of the US population. Think of those that vote. Think of those that like this magat garbage. These people are a small portion of the population and have controlled the narrative for far too long. Most that like this idiot give him far too much credit for a good economy springboarded from O’s

demiliopics2.bsky.social•3 days ago

To take heart in that, I have to leave my own mental universe (and probably Mr Kristol's) where it remains incomprehensible that his approval or favorability rating ever reached even 1% .

farmeren.bsky.social•3 days ago

It is even better on RealClear Polling.

mikemcintosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you. As a former Republican, I appreciate you remaining true to the old values in a hard time.

fremen.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let’s not get too overdramatic. Unfortunately, a reduction in Trump’s approval rating by 1.4% (from 48.1% to 46.7%) is hardly “sinking”. If it drops another 6-7% then it is the evidence of his support sinking.

judithkh1951.bsky.social•3 days ago

It should be like whale shit, at the bottom of the ocean.

emm7elle.bsky.social•3 days ago

My Trumper brother was trying to explain to me today why I’m wrong and Trump is brilliant. That people don’t understand how he’s forcing interest rates down through tariffs and that unemployment won’t rise. That the market was over priced. It is a cult built on conspiracy theories.

jimshankland.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's nice that his approval rate is subsiding slowly.

But a nation in which a man who has made his dictatorial bent clear for years - including an actual, bona fide attempt to overthrow the government - has an approval rate over 40% is a deeply troubled democracy.

saltandvinegar35.bsky.social•3 days ago

I know everyone wants to gasp at his approval rating. Let's not grade this prick on a curve. This is historically bad for a president at this stage of their term. It's only beaten by his previous term in how bad it is. But I don't think his previous term had this high of disapproval.

nancemarie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I still am dumbfounded that he has that much approval 😐

who43.bsky.social•3 days ago

Soon, polls will not matter. Nor will elections. Once DJT has loyalty more pervasively implanted, he's not going anywhere. He *will* deploy military against Americans. Just remember, he did a trial run in his first term.

johnbarleycorn69.bsky.social•3 days ago

Very stable genius

acrossroads.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wasn't Biden at something like 38% approval?
This country is irredeemable.

elliottness47.bsky.social•3 days ago

The decline is a good thing, but the fact that 47% of Americans approve of the wholesale overthrow of the American Constitution strongly suggests this republic is finished.

pebi.org•3 days ago

When they do get hit by the tariffs things will change. Of course, if they watch Fox News, they will notice nothing.

bkchicago.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unless they don’t look at their accounts it will be hard not to notice.

silverhorseman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Democracy is popular because it works better than other systems, not because the majority of people believe in it.
Trump is doing an outstanding job of demonstrating the problems that can arise from authoritarianism.

fungibev.bsky.social•3 days ago

They care nothing about the rule of law, due process, norms, Constitutional rights, etc. Those are just vague, meaningless concepts until they are personally affected. Then they’ll squeal like the self-centered pigs they are.

its-me-t.bsky.social•3 days ago

Three days ago Ipso 43 approval.

scenario-studios.bsky.social•3 days ago

These polls should be asking who wants to see him assassinated.

phebe276.bsky.social•3 days ago

🆘☎️EMERGENCY ‼️

TRUMP MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY!!
The damage he’s causing to our country, laws, institutions, human rights etc. etc. etc
All will be irreversible!!

#RemoveFelonFakePresidentTrumpAndHisCriminalEntourage

🆘🆘🆘🇺🇸🗽

javiermacho.bsky.social•3 days ago

Conviene tener en cuenta que las encuestas de intención de voto en EEUU tienen ahora la misma validez que si se realizaran en Corea del Norte. Los estadounidenses no van a volver a votar libremente. Punto.

alexofthew.bsky.social•3 days ago

Honestly.

All of those numbers are seriously disturbing given how clearly unhinged & just plain stupid the guy is.

Honestly. I don't see how a post Trump USA reckons with what has happened to it. It looks completely broken.

desdrayton.bsky.social•3 days ago

Americans are shit.

johnnybracket.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sad to say this. But yes. Yes we are.

stdwanze.bsky.social•3 days ago

If voters had an average iq of 90 the disapproval ratings should be > 90%..but we can see it's not.

singphan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nothing will sink his approval. He knows this. The GOP knows this

They put in the groundwork of making MAGA an inescapable cult. They are to the point where people are so bought in and personally committed, pride will prevent them from changing opinion - even as they personally suffer

sophiesophia.bsky.social•3 days ago

Has to be a wider gap than that that’s not enough

orangebird44.bsky.social•3 days ago

And those are the good polls, AP and Reuters had him at 42% and 43%.

consuela205.bsky.social•3 days ago

46 seems high

thekenstern.bsky.social•3 days ago

josephcappadonia.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not sure he cares.

It should help us in the midterms.

He'll continue doing what he wants regardless of popularity.

We'll need congressional help to stop him

edd64.bsky.social•3 days ago

I still don't understand how he is 47%. Shouldn't he be more like 27% if that?!
