One Thing Helping Trump’s Approval Rating: Some People Are Not Paying Attention
Voters were more likely to approve of President Trump’s job performance if they had not been following some of the major news stories of his first 100 days in office, a recent New York Times/Siena College poll found. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/18/polls/trump-job-approval-news-attention.html |
That tracks because people who didn’t read newspapers were way more likely to vote for him too. |
I am not a Trump voter but the man is doing what he campaigned on. I don’t understand people disapproving of what he said he’d do. |
People who didn’t vote for him obviously are not happy. They didn’t like his ideas and didn’t find him honest or qualified for the job. So of course they are disapproving and it’s even worse than expected. I don’t understand how anyone could think that his tariff scheme was going to work but they did and some are finding out that, surprise, China and other countries aren’t cooperating and our prices are going up. He didn’t end the wars involving Israel or Russia on day one. What is there to approve of? |
Did you expect the tariffs to work overnight.
Takes time as negotiations unfold. BTW, what Biden was doing was untenable. He had no new ideas. |
Well I slept at night, unlike the complete volatility we are living in now. |
Trump is making a big show of "negotiating" but what is the US really getting out of this besides volatility? He is creating the problems he brags about solving. Gmafb. |
His cult will still vote for. Him over and over again
Americans are dumb They gave him the dictator job by giving him both houses Now tonight at 1 am when the house meets its complete end of the. US Maga will be destroyed their children will never have jobs or food or healthcare or anything else Sickness will become norms and they will still vote for him again oh wait there will be no voting Hello dictatorship |
What is it you think tariffs will accomplish? If you know, pass it along to Trump because he doesn't. |
Did he campaign on disrespecting the Constitution? Did he camapign on disobeying federal judges? Did he campaign on imprisoning legal immigrants with clean records who have not even been accused of a crime in a Salvadoran gulag? He said he'd make the country safer. How does any of this make me safer?! He said he'd fix the economy. My retirement fund has been decimated. Even if you believe that the ends justify the means, which no one should!, you have to cherry pick to say such an inaccurate statement. |
This...I have intelligent friends who said can you believe the whole Project 2024 thing.....yes yes I can because I kept up with the news and dump spelled out the havoc he would wreak if he won. So many uninformed Americans. |
He kind of did but people had and still have their eyes shut to all around them. I'm curious when people will wake up?! |
Yes, he did campaign that he was going to round up brown people. Don’t you remember the Mass Deportation Now signs? Did you really think every brown person here is “illegal? He also campaigned on Project 2025, which he tried to distance himself from, but it was clear as day they were going to implement this. Please tell me don’t tell me you ignored all of this. |
There will NEVER be a wake up/touch stove moment. When good things happen they’ll think it’s because of Trump when bad things happen. They’ll blame Democrats. This has been true for the last 40 years. Democrats ceded the conversation to the right wing by not investing in talk radio or alternative media sources. There is a saying “trauma doesn’t tell its own story“. unless Democrats have a full throated campaign as to WHO has done WHAT and WHY, and this messaging needs to be by trusted messengers, of which there are few, they will get blamed for Republicans mess. |
