Kind of amazing on the break out seeing how much republican poll support he's still getting.

NEW Economist/YouGov Apr 20-22 % who approve | disapprove of Trump's job performance

U.S. adult citizens 41% | 54%

Last week 42% | 52%

Start of term 49% | 43%

  • Democrats 7% | 92%
  • Independents 30% | 59%
  • Republicans 86% | 12%
  • Men 45% | 49%
  • Women 37% | 59%

What I think is funny is the 7% of democrats who think he's doing a good job.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 6 points 4 hours ago

You always find some weird, contradictory results in polls. Like people who say taxes shouldn't be raised, but also think there should be a higher inheritance tax. This happens so frequently that the lack of weird results is evidence of falsified poll.

probably NEVER trumpers.

There are brain dead on both sides of the aisle, unfortunately. Ever heard someone say something you vehemently agree with, then explain why they think that and it makes you question your own viewpoint coming to the same conclusion as that the dumb shit you just heard? Like "We need to tax the rich, because if you dont tax the rich, they can will buy up all of the beaches for themselves and we wont have any more sand to make glass with and I need new windows."

That 7% is probably a bunch of smooth brains saying "let him cook" thinking he is playing long con becuase he was a registered dem 30+ years ago and is tearing it all down to rebuild the leftist utopia they dream of.

Or people who hate society and are actually loving it that he's destroying it.

Or people who can't read.

Guessing they approve of his stance on Israel.

He'll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

not really, maybe amongst the older republicans, but the gen xers, millneanls and Zs still support him.

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago

I have a feeling that only when fox news starts saying he is bad, will the republican supporters also get on board. They don't see what fox don't want them to see. USA has a propaganda problem.

Nah, they'll just find some way to blame Biden.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Well, he destroyed the federal government, and he's locking up brown people while trampling all over their constitutional rights. Naturally, the Republicans love him.
