Putin is not popular either. Dictators don't have to rely on popularity.

hekatombe.bsky.social•2 days ago

The results of the regimes actions will be dire and unpopular, any party would be voted out; but they clearly don’t care so consider how they plan to stay in power

madison8.bsky.social•2 days ago

Looks like some of MAGA is starting to see the light.

mimi1016.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doesn’t seem to matter.

jimcampbellart.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wonder what jim Jones’s approval rating was in Jonestown.

oweninthefirst.bsky.social•2 days ago

Local news isn't reporting the whole story and Fox says it's fine or it would completely crater.

clim8survivor.bsky.social•2 days ago

If only there would be another free and fair election that he had to worry about winning

jazzrat2000.bsky.social•2 days ago

It should be 4%, but he doesn't care if it's zero

lindapal.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank God!

kevinmac27.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump is polarizing. I wouldn't give him approval if the Angel Gabriel came down and endorsed him. Equally Biden never got high approval because Trumpers could never like the man who beat him. While Trump's alive, approval ratings are swampy.

recoveringxer.bsky.social•2 days ago

This should be hammered home every day. Just as the Rep message machine relentlessly told everyone immigrants were swarming the borders and killing their children. Trump policies are not popular. Repeat and repeat and repeat.

nymoderate107.bsky.social•2 days ago

Illegal immigrants are not popular either

recoveringxer.bsky.social•2 days ago

And your point is . . .?

jkcreative8.bsky.social•1 day ago

It should be zero.

clarisaclarity.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's shocking that it's as high as it is. I'm actually tempted to go over to the other olatform to tell people it's ok if you're having doubts. Listen to those doubts. They might save you.

dozingox.bsky.social•2 days ago

well, unless he rigs things so he can get reelected, it doesn't really matter, does it?

tradesman2trader.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s only been a month and we must remember often these polls are lagging

kh-instability.bsky.social•2 days ago

Still. Networking stupidity was a stupid thing to do.

elanamich70.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another 5-10% and he will be completely toxic. Especially since he is pissing a lot of his voters off.

darkbluearticleii.bsky.social•2 days ago

"People love me. They hate Zelenskyy."

elainett.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t know that those matter to him while he wears the office
…or while he still employees a dedicated full time good press fluffer
…or the pining GOP desperate for his notice & attention

elliejean.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm shocked it's not lower since he's the first president in history to openly and actively oh and *needlessly slash as many jobs as possible...

trixie3400.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wait until they realize that those federal jobs, and federal funding, affect their non-federal jobs.

cuyahogakid.bsky.social•2 days ago

So what? They don’t care. They’ve toppled the government. They aren’t leaving. They don’t give a damn about approval ratings. It mattered at one time, but it’s completely meaningless in 2025.

rdl8192boyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wannabe autocrats and their soldiers don't care. They intend to do away with elections. Their approval rating is similar to that of most autocracy's. They're unpopular.

middlerage.bsky.social•2 days ago

So impeach him! GOP hello?

doctort1973.bsky.social•1 day ago

And yet the Republican congress still can’t seem to vote against anything complicit fucks!!!

bingo46.bsky.social•2 days ago

💯💯💯

stephenstype1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks, but it doesn't matter how unpopular he is if he has unchecked authority over everything except the oligarch he unleashed on the federal government.

caborose.bsky.social•2 days ago

Still too darn high!

pakobskysocial.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck polls

rdgreid.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, but he’s still net positive in most polls.

cdaleco.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let’s tank the bastard

rolandsamuel.bsky.social•2 days ago

He does what he wants and will go on doing so.

retired1124.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope it goes down to zero

bandedhawk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, it's mutual. Trump didn't get a honeymoon period, and neither did Americans. It's straight to the getting brutally fucked stage.

carmenitalane.bsky.social•2 days ago

What difference does this make? At this point, why should Trump care what a Gallup Poll shows. He does what Putin wants and polls are irrelevant.

adel-14.bsky.social•2 days ago

not surprising at all

slidein2madness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why does everyone believe that you’ll get to vote again?

rolandadams1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hate to break it to you, but Trump doesn't care. He is a dictator now.

julie4democracy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, he cares. It will make him more unpleasant and vengeful, but his ego is too big not to be bruised by this. It’s the biggest ego ever. We’ve never seen an ego so big.

rolandadams1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

His ego looks beyond it and says it isn't so. He claimed he had the greatest ratings ever for the inauguration, when in fact he had some of the worst. That is how his ego handles it.

julie4democracy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am betting he has a very large case of imposter syndrome which makes him easier to manipulate for Putin, Elon & well, all the other dictators.
No- it doesn’t help us. He plays rationalization games in his head- but he’s always wanted to be popular with the Hollywood crowd in spite of his denials.

rolandadams1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

If he truly cared about what people thought about him, he would be swayed by public opinion polls. Instead, he deludes himself with fake ideals about what the public thinks. He just demands that the military shoot those that protest against him without any thought of consequences of those actions.

lindamc944.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly. And good luck getting rid of him.

desertmage65.bsky.social•2 days ago

pasteresq.bsky.social•2 days ago

But, her laugh is annoying

mehhhhh12345.bsky.social•2 days ago

This means nothing to him - he is the president and he will do as he see fit… stay active and vocal and stop the polls stupidity.

bunkx.bsky.social•2 days ago

But it should be 30+ points lower. Who are these people propping up his rating in the 40's?

lynnespreen.bsky.social•2 days ago

THIS is the kind of thing that needs to be megaphoned out across America. Who is going to do that???

averagesam101.bsky.social•2 days ago

If polls meant anything, wouldn't Harris be president right now

elanamich70.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. The polls were never fully in her favor. We just kept saying polls don’t matter.

marilynsomers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hip hop hooray.

chromaticgravity.bsky.social•2 days ago

staying focused.

#clarity

sassinine.bsky.social•2 days ago

I feel like we're at least 5 stops past caring about job approval ratings.

Approval ratings are something you attack Democrat Presidents with. Authoritarians will find their own polls that say Americans still love what they're doing, push, push, and PUSH those, and call all the others fake.

bmmtc.bsky.social•2 days ago

It should be 0. He sold the United States to Russia, and abandoned its allies. He’s a traitor.

strawbabies.bsky.social•2 days ago

And every single Trump voter is now complicit

jester2000.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, he doesn’t care.

kamalagriffin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hope. Just when I’m losing faith.

prithe.bsky.social•2 days ago

So? Do you that matters to the Administration? They are playing for keeps. - “Revolution..it will remain bloodless if the left allows” - Remember?

rjc1084.bsky.social•2 days ago

What’s Musk’s job rating at?

artcat1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Big whoop. It isn't news that a lot of folks "don't support" either President Felon or President Elon.
I still don't know if I'll get my earned benefit SS check in March or ever again. You got any highlighted news you want to share about that?

femsocphd.bsky.social•2 days ago

I guess that's not a Nate Silver poll.

p-r333.bsky.social•2 days ago

That

mrkd26.bsky.social•2 days ago

RIP😪

helxine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Aww Janey we miss you. If only everyone had your balls . . .

p-r333.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let’s never forget her/o

mademocats.bsky.social•2 days ago

So? if this number doesn’t move the Republicans to oppose Trump, why should we care?

jlwcasey.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thats a LOT higher than I expected for a man who is basically tearing the American governmental system apart. I'd be amazed if his approval rating made double figures at this point.

rinconer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Polls don’t matter because in his evil, narcissistic pea brain, if his numbers are low then he’s doing something right.

rickvaughn.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's not concerned with polls anymore. There will be an election in 2028, but it will be ceremonial in nature, a rallying cry of support for the Leader, like in Russia and Hungary, with the outcome already secured for him (he will get his wish to have a third term.)
