They're historically low for a new President.

That’s the only polling I need. Women are fighting this fight, while the white men are bloviate or cowering.


There is nothing reflective about the nation as a whole in CA.

We were told women would elect Harris. Didn’t happen.


Oh that’s right. We have fascism because we couldn’t stand the sound of her laugh.


Dumb view. Fascists grow the strength of government power, they don’t slice into its money stream.

We didn’t elect Harris because women aren’t monolithic like you want to believe. She doesn’t speak for me, and I voted against her policies.

Or maybe people are tired of listening to cranky old women yelling at them.

This shows a +4.8% net favorable rating. A lot of people just didn’t care either way, which is why it’s roughly 48-43 in his favor and doesn’t add up to 100%.

In either case, from the posts on here you would think his actions since taking office would have tanked his approval ratings. They’re not tanking at all relative to where he was on Inauguration Day.



They aren’t tanking but they seem to be trending down. Also why are there three republican financed polls included in the average and no democratic ones?


Pretty much all recent presidents have seen a high on Inauguration Day and then a trajectory down, because we are so polarized.


Maybe we will stop being so polarized once all the USAID-funded media dries up.

Favorability ratings of the democrats are much much worse.

I was called a liar in an earlier thread where I posted Trump’s job approval ratings which are higher now than his first term. It just goes to show that there is a bubble of thought in DC. The rest of America doesn’t view the last few weeks the way DC does.

This poll has him above his popular vote totals. Trump has always been a divisive figure, but these polls show all his recent moves are not alienate the people who voted for him, which was the majority of the country. In fact, he’s picked up a percentage or two.


Yeah the majority of the US did not vote for him. He got less than 50% of the popular vote in the elections.

Moreover, the are around 245 million eligible voters in the US. Therefore only around 31% of eligible voters actually voted for him. A far cry from "majority".
