Trump's approval ratings plummeted during his 1st term and there was never an implosion. His unpopularity allowed the Dems to take control of The House in 2018 and allowed for a very easy victory for the Dems in the 2020 POTUS election. Dems can thank Trump again for the success they'll have in 2026 and 2028.

Hmmm... I'm noticing a pattern.... it appears as though terrible sitting presidents make success easy to come by for the opposition party. We suffered through this with Biden in 2024 so we deserve to the political success that will inevitably come while having to endure the nightmarish Trump 2nd term.

I haven't seen anyone post about this new and troubling poll result yet. Consumer confidence falls to a 45-year low. That's a big deal.

Americans are rarely this pessimistic about the economy. Consumer sentiment plunged 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the University of Michigan said in its latest survey released Friday, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession. President Donald Trump’s volatile trade war, which threatens higher inflation, has significantly weighed on Americans’ moods these past few months. That malaise worsened leading up to Trump’s announcement last week of sweeping tariffs, according to the survey.

Yikes! That’s Carter territory.

According to many approval measures, Carter was even less popular than Trump and Biden which is hard to believe but it is what it is. Those are by far the bottom three. Good times!

I would take either one over the current communist.

Since we're naming pipe dreams, reduce the power of the US Senate.

WY has 80 times the power that CA does. Absurd.

the amazing thing about this is that the Dems have been better on the economy since Clinton was president and people are JUST NOW coming around to the sham the GOP has been running since Reagan was president.

Notice the last time the Ds had a higher rating was in 2021, just after the last time the republicans tanked the economy. No doubt once the democrats fix trumps mess, people will again start saying republicans are better on the economy.

I wish people’s memories were longer. Why do they have to relearn the same lesson over and over and over?

I don’t think that’s the problem. Elected officials are continuously seeking to appease their radical bases after election rather than govern where the American people are. And the voters keep finding themselves sloshing back and forth in the bath tub.

The answer is:

- ranked choice voting
- mandatory publicly financed campaigns

This is what we need to spend our time and effort on achieving. Anything less will lead to this same situation over and over again.

Wow! Trump is down in polls re the economy and now he is down re immigration and deportations. This is going to hurt him and is really going to hurt the Republicans in the midterms. They are working furiously to get their tax cuts locked in for FY26 (Will the moderates agree to cut Medicaid? Who knows?), as they also work furiously to slash the federal government, spiking unemployment and decimating services. And now their leader is underwater everywhere. Woe to the Republicans. They are in a sad place right now.

Yep, the two issues that he has traditionally been strongest in and he’s underwater on both. People are getting very angry.

Doesn't matter, he's still getting away with absolutely everything he wants to. Mid terms- hahaahaha- we are barely 4 months into this nightmare and have a long long time for him to continue to make irreversible damage before any midterms. No one is standing up to him, no one. But sure... go ahead and think polls and midterms are going to cause GOP to grow a spine.
