Trump net approval hits new low in Economist/YouGov poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump’s net approval rating has hit a new low in the latest Economist/YouGov poll, taken as he moved to involve the U.S. in conflict in the Middle East.

The poll, which was in the field when Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, found Trump’s job performance 14 percentage points underwater, with 40 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval.

It’s the lowest net approval point of Trump’s second term, according to the pollster, and lower than his net approval during most of his first term.

Americans were more likely to disapprove than approve on a range of issues, from a negative 2-point net approval on national security to a negative 26-point net approval on inflation and prices. Approval for Trump’s handling of the conflict between Israel and Iran had an overall negative 17-point net score, down from negative 4 points the week prior.

1. 40% approval. After everything he still scratches half.

So effin disappointing. Should be under 10% at least.

2. It's even worse

than that. The average of all polls has him over 47%

3. I've decided the reason so many like him is they are clearly as intelligent as he is and...

...it makes them feel good about themselves for a change. FINALLY they get to experience what NOT feeling like a dumbass is like. They must not be as stupid as they've always felt if they can match intelligence with the president! Too bad they can only manage the feeling of being intelligent and not the experience.

7. What's his approval among Republicans?

Probably still very high.

4. If you are a MAGAt and have to buy diesel fuel you are going to disapprove strongly.

5. Let me know when he hits 35%...

...then I might think it is news worthy?

[AStern]

6. But I thought the anti-ICE protests with all those Mexican flags were going to boost his approval ratings

It's like Russian/Right Wing talking points always turn out to be total nonsense.

8. 40% shows he's holding onto the majority of the hardcore MAGA assholes though sadly.

9. That's to be expected

His supporters are hardcore crazy fanatics. They cannot be reasoned with.

10. From the link, poll was "in the field" when Trump announced bombing of Iran.

Those polled didn’t know of that. So his numbers may be (should be) - WORSE!

11. Perhaps polls are accurate or they are not. Just so Trump is pissed. Look out Iran.

[Karasu]

12. At this point I'm convinced a Republican could initiate a full-on genocide in this fucking country and still get 40%.

[Brenda]

13. First response: LOFL!

Second response: Oh shit. What's Baby Chump going to act out now? Does he have the football?

[BurnDoubt]

14. Hell is full of these miscreants.

they are more than 99% there, with the occasional "good-intentions" violators. Don't go there!
(Spoiler: I don't believe in Hell... but theses fuckers are REAL. DAMN!)
