Disapproval rose to 62%, the worst of his two terms in office, amid economic issues since launching his war against Iran
Six months out from November’s midterm US elections, Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 62% – the worst of his two terms in office – according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The US president received his worst ratings 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.
Trump achieved majority disapproval on his management of every issue measured, including Americans disapproved of his handling of that war by 66% to 32%, while a staggering 76% disapproved and only 23% approved of his handling of the cost of living. Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
As much as I like seeing the high disapproval numbers, I find it a bit disappointing how many people will turn on their president over gas prices. I mean, after all the insane shit this guy has pulled, all it takes is a buck or two more per gallon to turn them. We aren’t even in a shortage situation. No lines. Nothing.
I think it’s more a case that the people for whom gas prices are A Thing have now joined all the people who already disapproved of him… so another 5% of the population, who believed his lies right up until there was no denying that his actions were hitting their pocketbooks.
It has immediate impact and they cannot lie about the giant numbers in their face while they pump. Even the dumbest of people can grasp this.
There’s no way he’s getting reelected at this rate
It’s good to take a step back every once and a while, and remember that at one time we reported approval ratings…
There’s a psychological effect coming into play here.
We need to go back to:
38% approve of trump
It hits 100% different
AKA 38% total idiots.
And if those idiots realized they were in the minority, they might feel shame…
They’re dumb enough to see 62%, “trump” and that the number is higher and everything seems great.
They see a shrinking number that’s how many agree with them…
Even they start to rethink their position, if nothing else out of cowardice.
We need to play to the audience, and in this context theyre all fucking idiots.
Partisan diehards simply know where their bread is buttered
Been hearing weekly this for 10 years. Shut the fuck up
Wow, 25% of independents still approve of him. Insane.
I’ve worked in market research. It’s just like the Internet. Bad faith respondents are very common and very eager and they all give exactly the same inane responses.
Maybe their brains are independent from their bodies?
Word salad headline. Lol. Can’t just call it straight.
It doesn’t matter. If he stays in power past Jan 2029, he won’t need an election (or any popularity polls) to do it.
Until he is dragged out of office, doesn’t matter
