Disapproval rose to 62%, the worst of his two terms in office, amid economic issues since launching his war against Iran
Six months out from November’s midterm US elections, Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 62% – the worst of his two terms in office – according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The US president received his worst ratings on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.
Trump achieved majority disapproval on his management of every issue measured, including Americans disapproved of his handling of that war by 66% to 32%, while a staggering 76% disapproved and only 23% approved of his handling of the cost of living. Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
None of this matters because at the end of the day the American electorate is just too stupid for any of this to count for anything.
They’re always going to vote for the next hard R that will promise them that they’ll make it all White and now you’ll probably won’t have a choice but to vote for the hard R in many states going forward.
hard r?
Ugh. I dislike titles like this.
Lowest high? Highest low?
Just say “record lowest” or “lowest ever recorded” or something.
The amount of people angry at Trump is higher than ever before
I’m all for bullying papers over shitty headlines but, honestly, this isn’t one of them.
I disapprove so much it should count multiple times.
I am here to promise you that conservatives will vote for the next one to come along.
And it’s not like conservative candidates are going to get any better from here on out.
It’s good to take a step back every once and a while, and remember that at one time we reported approval ratings…
There’s a psychological effect coming into play here.
We need to go back to:
38% approve of trump
It hits 100% different
AKA 38% total idiots.
And if those idiots realized they were in the minority, they might feel shame…
They’re dumb enough to see 62%, “trump” and that the number is higher and everything seems great.
They see a shrinking number that’s how many agree with them…
Even they start to rethink their position, if nothing else out of cowardice.
We need to play to the audience, and in this context theyre all fucking idiots.
As in: if those people could read, they would be very upset?
Partisan diehards simply know where their bread is buttered
Is it as simple as 38% approve and 62% disapprove? Many polls have something in the middle for “neither approve nor disapprove.”
In those polls, the disapproval rate can move without anything changing in the approval rating, and that’s worth reporting.
Just saying It isn’t entirely either/or.
Probably not.
But when dealing with stats is best to err on the side of caution.
At most 38% approve, if the real number is lower and some maga tries to argue, it just turns out that it’s even worse than I said.
If it was really 39% then that becomes the focus and there’s no convincing.
So when in doubt, give the extra to the side you’re trying to convince especially when the split is big enough a few points either way don’t even matter.
It stops them from arguing over minute details and forces the larger discussion.
Wasn’t doing it intentionally, it’s out of habit
I do something similar. I’ll often misstate numbers in the same way hoping that they will look it up to try and prove me wrong and succeed. They get a little dopamine rush when they see I’m wrong and that makes it easier for them to understand that if I had been accurate, it would paint an even grimmer picture.
It’s not really that.
What I was talking about is I’ve amassed a huge amount of random knowledge. If I said:
With 15 minutes of training a human can identify party affiliation with 70% accuracy which lines up with 30% non-voters to a 100% success rate
Someone is gonna chirp up that in election year ____ there was only 28% non-voters so all that literal scientific research that happened is a moot point.
Shit like that gets tiresome. Especially when everyone assumes the only way someone would know stuff like that, is if they looked it up 2 seconds ago and have a handy source.
As much as I like seeing the high disapproval numbers, I find it a bit disappointing how many people will turn on their president over gas prices. I mean, after all the insane shit this guy has pulled, all it takes is a buck or two more per gallon to turn them. We aren’t even in a shortage situation. No lines. Nothing.
As someone else put it: “I’m fine with rapes and pedophilia, but I draw the line at higher gas prices!”
What does that say about America? I think it’s past saving to be honest.
It has immediate impact and they cannot lie about the giant numbers in their face while they pump. Even the dumbest of people can grasp this.
No one has ever seen (disapproval) ratings this high!
Still way too high
What do you think the bunker is for. Dude is not leaving alive. Let’s hope he follows Hitlers lead and eats a bullet soon.
Palantir data center, like the $350 M one they sold Israel
Word salad headline. Lol. Can’t just call it straight.
It doesn’t matter. If he stays in power past Jan 2029, he won’t need an election (or any popularity polls) to do it.
Until he is dragged out of office, doesn’t matter
Kicking and screaming, on television
Been hearing weekly this for 10 years. Shut the fuck up
Incredibly low, what an achievement.
There’s no way he’s getting reelected at this rate
He’s dying. I’ll be surprised if he makes it another 12 months.
