Donald Trump continues to fall in the polls, and so does his agenda. According to CNN’s Harry Enten, 2 months into his second term, Trump is already underwater in public approval.

This isn’t his first term … everyone knew what they were getting. No one who voted for him, voted third party, or didn’t vote is innocent in his ascent. They all lifted him up knowing full well that Project 2025 was the plan.
Canadian here. What does it matter what his poll numbers are? He could have a zero, but it doesn't change anything. He can't be fired, right? Or is there some kind of rule from the beginning of time that can be used to get rid of him? Is there some kind of non-confidence vote?
If MAGA ever experiences a true cratering of support (which will be difficult given the cult of personality surrounding him), I’m concerned they’ll cook up a false flag operation.
It's hard to tell if you go to the other place. That love him overthere and truly believe in a year homelessness and hunger will be gone. Our kids will be brilliant etc

He doesn’t care! According to his people, he’s already planning for a third term! He is a dictator and I hope the folks who voted for him are getting what they voted for. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to suffer until we can get him out of office!
And he and the GOP don't care what the consequences are for their actions, because they are going to change/destroy the electoral system to stay in power.
Our economic power is being felt by companies that support or are silent on the republicans' effort to take our rights away. Republicans/heritage are desperately trying to convince these companies we don't have the stamina to continue depriving them of our money.
They are wrong! We will not stop!
Doesn’t matter because he’s already a dictator and the only he’s leaving the White House is when they carry him out of a coffin be it 1 year from now or 20.
That train has already left the station and the only way it stops is going over the cliff, and it’s well on the way. But the damage is done and will take generations to recover
I am happy to see that some others GET THIS. The "leaders" are acting like this is just a momentary glitch that can be legislated away. This isn't "business as usual"
It's not going to matter if Congress won't recognize it and act. What's it going to take? Trump and his lackeys have deflected criticism and claimed town hall complaints are from libs and crisis actors. Angry MAGA voters can't get through the rose-colored vision of loyal trumpanzees.
I keep remembering the current POTUS mocking a disabled reporter and the hooks that seeing that public mocking and bullying, by the POTUS elect, put into Meryl Streep’s heart. Mine too. His dishonor is a stain on us all. https://youtu.be/cEWlM8Ygxlw
The hardest part of being scammed is accepting you were scammed. People will fight tooth and nail to defend what they fell for because the alternative is admitting you were a rube. To have people snapping out of it as fast as they are is really telling.
I will never vote for a Republican! I don’t understand the anger and hatred the republicans have toward others! I also don’t see what they think they are winning.
Perhaps I’m just being an optimistic dinosaur. But I do hope that the midterms are such an overwhelming success for the Democrats. They can finally impeach Trump permanently.
Great thought but while there’s a fight over whether Schumer did the right or wrong thing (or some other shiny hot button outrage distracting Democrats from the long game) Democrats will continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
While the general public is considerably bigger than the billionaire’s club, I’m pretty sure the current admin is only concerned with maintaining their own status quo.
Funny if you see news programs that slant to trump the way they make that poll look good for him. It’s a stretch they probably pull something making it look that good.
Sadly it just doesn't matter, that's only relevant in a democracy and he is doing all he can to establish an oligarchy/dictatorship. Before the November mid-term election he will declare martial law. He cannot afford to lose the house so he will make it a non issue.
They might not approve of him right now but ask them if they’d vote democrat if a new election was held today. No one liked what Hitler was doing either.
Donald Trump's glazed stare suggests he was not expecting to be met at the intersection by the American people and the Judiciary at every junction along his fantasy presidential way.
Good.
Let him continue to step on every rake he has laid down.
Wait until he tires to make $Trump the “official” currency of the USA, & get his own mug on our money & Mt. Rushmore. Hell, he’s hocking advertising at the WH for Easter.No grift is too big or small.Mob mentality, con games 24-7. Quid Pro Quo. GOP = all scared shitless, Greedy, or Stupid, or all 3.
Not everyone agrees that these polls accurately reflect broad sentiment.
Let’s understand: farmers for example who supported Trump have seen their incomes tank thanks to killing food purchases by USAID.
But many still support his policies re migrants. Awful to admit but we have to deal with it!
Keep communicating to others who won't hear through national news channels. The more people understand, the more his numbers will drop. Part of the problem is dissemination of the information.
Sadly my friend, until he is made to face consequences for his nakedly illegal acts, I don't think he will care nor change. He will throw tantrums, absolutely throw tantrums, but he will continue to play Tyrant from his golden couch of perpetual indulgence like Louis XVI
This means nothing, unfortunately. His stupid ass could have a 1 percent approval rating and yet everyone will continue to bow down and fall to his feet especially the GOP. They have been fully taken over by the MAGA disease.
I would hope people have realized that Biden in a fog or Kamala's voice would have been better. So my question is, does it matter as long as it's the opposition right now?
it matters if you want to leave the opposition. Saying we can't do anything in the chambers or the government tells a clear message to the electorate... you are useless
I don't understand the Trump hate. What has he ever done?! (except sexual assault, cheating, raping, stealing, threatening, bragging, whining, destroying, blackmailing, embarrassing, murdering, separating, fomenting, swearing, perjuring, downplaying, insulting and lying)
George - I think about you watching what is happening right now - understanding your personal experience in the internment camps, I am so sorry. For as difficult it is to watch it myself, I can't even imagine how you feel. Hugs
Public opinion means nothing when you're not interested in the public's wellbeing. He's there to help his wealthy donors and nobody else. He will gladly execute the rest of us to stay rich and out of prison.
Good riddance to his divisive policies! Let's keep pushing for progress and building a more equitable future for all. What actionable steps are you taking to stay involved?
Here's the thing; autocratic authoritarian leaders don't NEED the people to LIKE them. They just need the people to OBEY them. So, just like AOC's Rallies... so what? We don't beat them by bigger numbers and approval ratings. This is NOT business as usual. WHAT'S THE PLAN????
he doesn't care, and never has. He'll keep going until polls are either rigged, or illegal and that would be Musk's idea not his, because Musk actually does care but doesn't know how to be liked.
Fingers crossed. As we witness what happens now, it’s reached a point of ill believe it when I see it unfortunately.
The enablers are still speaking lies, hypocrisy and don’t look like they will change anytime soon. Nor do they appear to care about the peoples’ opinion.
This is 100% a true statement. There is a coup happening in the US and the democrats are protesting by wearing pink? This is turning into Putin's America.
The hope is that, if he gets unpopular enough, his Republican enablers will find they want to distance themselves before the next election and maybe grow a spine.
Their plan is to not have another election. So how do you fix a problem with votes if there aren’t legitimate elections? Clearly that plan has helped us so much thus far. 😒
I look forward to Robert Reich’s emails with his “tentative reason for nauseous optimism”, watching Tesla stock drop and seeing the crowds Bernie and AOC were met with. All give me hope.

They are wrong! We will not stop!
The more people suffer with Trump, the easier it's going to be to pull him.
Where’s the joy, hope, betterment in taking an indiscriminate wrecking ball to all things socially beneficial..
FIGHT THE F‘ BACK. BARE KNUCKLES.
Trump is doing exactly what he said he would and was elected to do.
In the end it has to translate to votes.
Underground be better.
He was impeached *twice* last time and still maintained power. Was convicted of a felony and still won reelection.
He doesn’t need approval anymore, the damage is done.
MAGA is well attached to his mushroom.
By the midterms, the country will look like something from a mad max movie
Too many people don’t even understand all the chaos Trump is causing.
I’ll only be happy when the bubbles stop coming up.
I'm sure he can't swim.

Tie this hell to them.
With all due respect, what do people think these polls will do?
But if trump can be shown to be more and more unpopular than the calculus of his enablers changes.
No man rules alone, and polls showing him cratering it does help.

I hope you are right!
