Trump news at a glance: six in 10 Americans say president is doing a bad job
1d 9h ago by lemmy.ca/u/girlfreddy in news from www.theguardian.com
Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.
Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.
Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
4 are fine with this. Which is terrifying.
This. The take home here is that the people are still 40% stupid.
I mean.....6 years ago it was 48%.
So that's......progress?
Im assuming nice chunk died from covid and old age?
The important question is how many of that 60% would vote for him or another R, again.
And that answer is going to be depressingly high.
Pretty much any conservative I've talked to insists that Kamala Harris would be "just as bad." No matter how badly they think their golden boy is doing, they'll always convince themselves he's still the best pick.
No it wasn't. It's been around 6:4 his entire 2 terms.
Keep in mind that according to the US Department of Education, 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level.
Also, I have read elsewhere that nearly 20% of Americans are functionally illiterate. I wonder how many of these people vote.
Don't give one single fuck. Not an excuse. Stop using it.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
No. I don't care about excuses anymore.
No one was making excuses. It's weird that you would think that.
Not necessarily; some will have answered non-committally or less disapprovingly. I think the article states that only 23% approve.
"He's doing a bad job" is pretty strong disapproval you usually don't hear from the gen pop.
And let me just add that our language of political discourse has eroded during the past decade; one can read more and more Trump-speak ("bad job") in headlines, it's being adopted.
Our language of political discourse currently ranges from meh to WHY DO YOU SUPPORT A LITERAL GENOCIDE YOU COMPLICIT FUCK!?!
It's probably more like 32-38% and they chose a 1-10 scale so they could round up for a better headline.
still.... there would be 2 to 3 people out of ten looking at the wannabe Nobel Peace Prize guy waging wars, at the "jobs are coming back to America" guy sending unemployment rates up, at the "we'll end inflation" guy causing $5 gas prices.... should I go on? But still 3/10 people are looking at all this and think "eh, we're doing fine!"
And? Nixon maintained 25-30% support up until his resignation. I'll never understand what leftists expect to see from the American people
What's terrifying is we're going to do nothing about it
Billionairs ?
Oh look, another 6/10 survey. File it with the “2/3 of Americans aren’t massive idiots” and “60 to 70% of people agree good things are good and bad things are bad” surveys.
It’s the drawer next to the “51% vote for nonsense” drawer.
Actually, Trump got 49.9% of the vote.
Would like to note that Kamala got 48.3%
The difference went to a variety of other canidates.
I imagine ranked choice voting would have fixed this
They’re still massive idiots because they refuse to do something about the other 30%.
Such as what? Some of you Canadians talk a lot of shit for a country that didn't wake up until ours threatened annexation. Then all of a sudden you realized the far right is bad and Americans need to get violent even you yourself are too cowardly to actually say that out loud.
4 in 10 are fucking dipshits.
The numbers have been remarkably stable for 10 years, given what a shitshow it has unmistakably been.
4 in 10 Americans be like
4 in 10 are propagandized to shit
No, at least 3 in 10 genuinely agree with what he's doing, have always thought this way, and are glad that behavior like his can be shown out in the open without consequences now.
Both things can be true
Huh? How is that mutually exclusive?
Lol.
Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we're only at 6 of 10?
This nation is a fucking clown car flying off a cliff made of clowns into a black hole of endless Mandelbrot clowns.
To be clear, this country is far, far too stupid for anything other than continued collapse to happen even after this pedophile is being eaten by worms.
4 in 10 aren't paying attention and/or are bad people and bad citizens.
Not paying attention isn't an excuse after a decade. They're bad people at best and traitors at worst.
It's the latter half of that statement.
I cannot say that the UK is very much smarter, but 40% of the US is dumb as shit.
4 outa 10 people are fucking stupid.
And the other 40% are idiots…
ppl got angry on mitt Romney for saying it something a bit similar.
In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.
The delta V requirements to launch them into the sun are just way too wasteful. Let's do the other option.
4 in 6 10 Americans are why I have no hope for humanity.
Or 4 in 10?
Lol such a dumb mistake 😂 I'll feel ashamed for the rest of the day haha
Cudos for leaving it up.
Always that 30-40%.
Only 6 in 10!!!!!!!!!!!??????
I'm not sure why you're surprised. It's not like these numbers have changed, ever.
Normally the number of maga psychos hovers around 33%. And Trump has done such a spectacularly bad job for everyone excepting the rich that I thought it would at least be 7 out of 10.
Americans never cease to amaze me in the power of their undying hatred of themselves and anyone who isn’t white.
That means they'll gerrymander that 40% to the top, block votes from as many as they can from the 60% and ICE the people that would decrease that 40% even a bit.
The other 40 percent are my grandparents.
So billionaires?
40% of Americans say president is not doing a bad job.
weird, 6 in 10 Americans didn't turn up to vote against him
Thats a hell of an understatement.
Plenty of dumb racist pedo protecting bastards in the survey.
6:4, isn't that the ratio its always been?
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up.
More than 8 of 10 Germans think our Chancellor is doing a shit job
How nice of him to unite the country in these politically divided times.
Just a shame that the other two are the guys in a position to throw his corrupt ass out...
(I know it's more complicated than that, but the floppy-spines in our parliament certainly aren't helping unfuck things)
Unfortunately it seems that 8 in 10 Americans also think the Democrats are "just as bad".
8/10 Americans think Trump is bad but Kamala laughed funny
As someone who voted for Kamala Harris.. I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate.. relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran..
That is 100% fair but it’s irrelevant. At this point it doesn’t matter what skeletons she had in her closet or what she supported because there is NOTHING she could support that would be worse than what we currently have.
She was so bad, yet they still ran her. Would be better off slamming your head in the wall
And they're going to run her again.
Why do yall keep acting like she was a good candidate? Neoliberals arent good for anyone either. Wow we voted for a trash democrat, were so awesome. She still is shit and we need to do way better. She will never win
Am I misremembering previous polls? I could have sworn this has been about what his approval has been ever since his first term.
The others are in a cult.
Wake me up from this hell when that poll means something.
also: 6 out of 10 would vote for Trump if he were on the ballot tomorrow
Bad job is very charitable I would put it as sundowning.
Those numbers are higher than the 30% that voted for him. Sounds like he’s doing well.
As trump would say, "Let's get those numbers higher!". To paraphrase bondi, "The hate is at fifty thousand!!".
It would be better if that could be gotten up to 9 in 10 Americans say the president is doing a bad job, so he can be gotten out of there due to his threats of ending an entire civilization.
It doesn't matter how many Americans think he is doing a bad job right now. Only the opinions of 535 people matter, and 219 of them are in on the take.
hes doing a selfish job. all for his own benefit. he wouldnt even know other people existed if they werent constantly correcting him
I call bullshit. I've seen polls that put congressional approval around 10-15 percent. And Trump is running Congress as maga Republicans vote however he says.
How the hell does this make sense? Over 80 percent of Americans disapprove of Congress.... Why the hell are Americans voting for these schmucks?
And they're scrambling to gerrymander it so they can cram even more turds in the toilet.
Based anecdotally on conversions I've had in a few different states: everyone likes their schmuck. It is the others that are, apparently, the problem.
Theyre not voting is the problem. They want the easy choice.
Chat, we’re pretty sure those numbers are wrong… more like 9/10
Four in ten Americans are mentally impaired
4 in ten americans are delusional morons. Sometimes preventing a problem from happening at all is better than dealing with its fallout.
I would not say trump is doing a "bad" job.
First line of the article is a lie. I'm not sure why you'd expect anything other than having this reported.
?
The ratio has stayed at 6:4 the entirety of Trump's time in office, but this article somehow claims it's the lowest it's ever been. And it drops off a cliff every single month, while never changing. It's a miracle of math.
The other four think he’s doing shitty job. Right? Right…?
not republicans though, they bought into the koolaid so much they can back out.
So it hasn't changed at all, then, since day 1 of term 1.
Bootlickers say
