I wonder what the real numbers are. We all know the MSM is inflating Trump’s numbers.

Marist:

Trump approval 38%

and

A majority of Americans (56%) either strongly oppose or oppose the United States taking military action in Venezuela. 43% either strongly support or support such action.

When thinking about Greenland, nearly seven in ten Americans (69%) either strongly oppose or oppose U.S. military involvement in the country. 29% either strongly support or support the U.S. taking military action in Greenland.

A majority of Americans (57%) strongly oppose or oppose the United States taking military action in Iran. 42%, though, either strongly support or support such a move.

More than six in ten (61%) strongly oppose or oppose U.S. military operations taking place in Cuba. 37% strongly support or support the U.S. taking military action in Cuba.

60% strongly oppose or oppose U.S. military action in Mexico. 38% either strongly support or support this kind of action in Mexico.

More than eight in ten Democrats and more than six in ten independents voice opposition to U.S. military action in any of these nations. Republicans, though, favor U.S. military operations in Venezuela (83%), Iran (75%), Mexico (74%), Cuba (71%), and Greenland (57%).

Still nowhere near enough the disapproval he should have. I assume there's a large cohort of people who just aren't paying attention; plus the large cohort of brain-washed zombies fed lies 24/7 by their rightwing ecosphere. The rightwing media is a pernicious poison: I was waiting at the arrivals gate at Dulles airport last weekend for a relative, and Newsmax was on the bloody TV screen of the bar. Very disappointing.

The other thing to wonder about is the actual numbers of people identifying as republicans and whether that is changing at all. If 60% of republicans approve but that 60% only accounts for 20% of the population.

At some point do they even care about the polls? With SC generally supportive and states redistricting, how much public support is required to keep Rs in office?

The poll cited in the post above yours shows exactly that. It’s a 12 point swing. I wonder how or if they account for that in approval polls. If they keep assuming the same partisan split when they weight the poll it would end up overweighting republicans

In 2024, a virtual tie for the white house and 55-45 advantage for the dems gave the GOP a trifecta.

So it would need to be closer to 60-40 for the Dems to do the same.

This is the floor. These are the people in the cult. Don't expect it to go down.

Yes. Thank you for better articulating what I was grasping for! It would definitely be useful for pollsters to flesh that nuance out.

If you’ve ever been polled (I have, a bunch of times) they ask you your party and if you identify with one and if you lean toward one or the other as part of every poll.
