Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans
Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.
Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.
The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.
Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.
And they’re voting Republican again anyway!
Here in California, the top two candidates for governor going into the primary, are varying degrees of MAGA. Fucking insane.
Surely the shocking news here is that 45% of voters don’t believe he is moving the USA in the wrong direction?!
What? Americans voted for him to move USA backwards, and he is moving USA backwards!
They got what they asked for.Hey, as long as he doesn’t raise taxes on our rulers everything is okay.
For the dumb dumbs that voted for him but now think he’s moving in the wrong direction, just what they fuck did they think he was going to do?
He ran on carrying out vendettas against his personal enemies and doing incredibly stupid shit like culture wars, tariffs, and mass deportation.
No, I assure you, I am a loser… But I never supported Trump in anything, and certainly not as a politician.
I would support however his effort to furtilize a random field in Montana with his corpse. But nothing else really.
Not all losers support Trump for all Trump supporters are losers.
Your inability to figure out this simple logic mapping indicates your self-assessment is otherwise correct.
Usual thing with these people: “I didn’t think he would hurt me”
My face!
they think he was going to do?
This. but not to THEM.
Well you said it. They are dumb dumbs. And dumb dumbs believe the first thing they are told, any information that they are given after that is “fake news”.
Remember a few years ago there was a push to not call his supporters dumb, that they were much worse than that. Thing is, they can be both a reprehensible person beyond reproach and a dumbass at the same time.
It’s easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they are being fooled.
Kill people they don’t like, of course. I’m sure there are a few people who want a legal reason to murder the woman who unmatched and blocked them on Tinder.
Gee……ya fuckin think?
I believe Trump is moving the US in the right direction, whereas a good president would be moving the US in the left direction
BREAKING NEWS
Yes, if only there was some way to have seen this coming!
If the fat orange child rapist had 4 years of blatant corruption, easily prosecuted criminality, and glaring ineptitude just a few years prior then all this surely would never have happened…Biden slow walked us into this by not going after him in the name of “bipartisanship.”
Well, maybe in the next term he will be better?
The only thing that gives me hope we can at least semi fix the direction things are going is that at least for Hitler, most of the population fervently approved of Hitler.
That’s not the case here.
But that could just slow things down.
All bets are off at this point.
How do you know most of the population fervently approved of Hitler?
I’ve heard 60% approved of him taking power. It was from a documentary you tube video.
I guess I’m not 100% sure where they got the number from.
Pretty sure it was an infographic video.
Maybe this one. It’s been a few months since I watched it.
Vor what it’s worth, the most votes Hitler’s party ever received on a national level was “just” 37%.
Well, it’s kinda impossible to know for sure, as anyone not targeted by the Hitler regime as enemies was still discouraged from publicly, or even privately, disagreeing with the party.
But there was likely some poll or support data available to scholars at different points that would give an idea of actual support at those points.
I don’t have those details, and am not who you were asking, but I did hear support dwindled as the US entered the war. And, logically, it was probably higher when he was elected then when the war started getting real nasty.
Most people start not liking their leadership when their leaders actions cause them personal distress.
This poll is the same as all the others.
“Some Americans think Trump may possibly not be amazing”
They do tell us that apparently most Americans are idiots but that’s about it.
It seems there may be cause for hope that Trump is fucking up so bad he is losing the moderate Republican vote.
While these numbers look good, I wouldn’t hold my hopes high. Moderate republicans might be changing opinion but if they don’t swing enough to vote a dem, it won’t change anything.
And this is only if the elections happen and are fair, two things that right now are not granted.
These people will never vote dem. The best that can be done is to convince them to never vote again.
They don’t need to vote dem, they just need to lose motivation to vote (either not vote at all, or vote for anyone non-GOP). The GOP cannot afford to lose many votes, so long as the elections are fair, as you say. The elections will happen in some shape or form (remember, even Russia has “”“elections”“”). The GOP has seats up for election and upcoming vacancies.
It’s just a matter of how fair they’ll be.
They’ll still vote for Republicans though, because it’s a part of their identity, and it’s in their nature to be hateful and ignorant
A lot of them think along the lines of following generational trends. Such as their dad voted Republican, and their grandad did too, so they will do so blindly.
Duuurrrrrrrrrrrr
its amazing what a president has to do to be on the outs with the republicans. demolishes white house and wipes ass with constitution. ah. well. maybe he is not leading us in the right direction. maybe.
Too much belief not enough action
