lower than his first term? wow he outdid himself
Anyone surprised?
Yes, I'm very surprised. Not because he's dropping, but because the disproval rate is 54%, with 41% still approving of his job thus far....
What in the seven hells is wrong with Americans!?
The conservative mind sees any kind of disloyalty as immoral.
People (and whole ass families) make “being republican” their whole identity
Not their whole identity, but certainly part of it. And that doesn't change with the situation, so they can always feel motivated to vote, even when the options suck.
A critical lack of empathy for their fellow man. Americans have had the concept of "fuck you got mine" so engrained into them, couple this with their overall lack of intelligence and you can see how a grifter promising them everything won the nation.
I am not from the usa. And i am suprised his graph made it above the 0 line.
Donald Trump IS the worst president in history.
Twice!
Worst in history so far!
Aka there will be worse, or he will get worse.
Por que no los dos?
Doesn't matter
Fascists don't leave office willingly.
So, trump is now the worst president below..... Trump.
Lmao so he's both the first AND second worst president of all time. He's more racist than Woodrow Wilson, dumber that George W. and more corrupt than Warren G. Harding.
I wish we wasn't a narcissist so he could feel the deep shame that he should about that.
We can only hope he experiences a moment of clarity just before he dies.
He’s doing a speedrun.
40% approval? As a non-american, I'm actually curious what kind of propaganda is still convincing these people.
Cult mentality largely. And a bunch of people who don’t pay attention, haven’t lost their jobs and still answer pollsters.
He won the election with 49% of the vote. I think the majority of those people just have the “let him cook” mentality. Like Trump knows what he’s doing and this lull in the economy is temporary pain that will be replaced by the greatest economy ever. That’s the most generous interpretation I can given
I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.
But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc... it's inexcusable.
Yeah, 49% of people voted for him. He gained voters from last time. Mind blowing.
Pathetic that people voted for this traitor cunt. Idiots.
Donald Trump is completely incompetent.
I hate to say it (I really hate to say it), but I don't think Trump is incompetent. I think he has different goals than you think he does, and is executing them successfully.
I mean, obviously he's a profoundly stupid person, but he's some kind of idiot-savant that manages to succeed at his criminally evil goals despite that. Might be why all the dipshits admire him so much, come to think of it.
His goal is to stay out of prison, which he's 100% successful at.
Why do you think Vance is doing all the traveling and trump plays golf all day? He doesn't care. He got a get out of jail free card already.
A useful idiot. He is manipulated by those around him to achieve self-serving goals.
Donald Trump has completely redefined and rebaselined incompetence
He’s the BEST at incontinence!
He has good jeans to handle all of that incontinence. The best jeans. Jeans like you have never seen before.
You'd think people would know this already, seeing as he was already fucking President once and all, with even then totally predictable and insane levels of corruption and incompetence. Somehow that record never really came up during the election, amazing.
the MSMs were working 24/7/365 sanewashing him since he lost in 2020, it had a positive effect on his image, because he was getting free press 24/7+ putin backed right wing grifters were helping hammering the messaging in young men voters too.

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.
Think of stupid people as basically AI. They just copy what's around them and approximate an opinion without really understanding any of it. They're just followers.
They follow along when they're surrounded by Democrats, and then they move somewhere else and they're surrounded by Republicans, and they still follow along. They don't publicly renounce their old beliefs because they haven't actually put that much thought into it. It's all surface level.
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.
those are probably mostly maga turds who think they're secret agents or sumsuch by registering democrat and voting in their primaries.
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.

He'll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.
not really, maybe amongst the older republicans, but the gen xers, millneanls and Zs still support him.
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.

He just can't stop winning!!
-- conservatives, probably
So lower than his first term?
Still not below 40%, so Schumer's going to keep saying "Democrats can't take any action."
Let’s not act like that goal post is staying there.
So...his approval rating is now worse than his own approval rating? Who was the 2nd worst president?
