President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to just 40 percent, the lowest since his return to the White House,
Quotes like this just piss me off, call me when he drops below 33% which is his historical ledge that he doesn't seem to go under, until it hits that, he'll be fine.
40% of the country supports their childfucker-in-chief
83% of Republicans approve of this Epstein sex trafficker in chief
I want to meet the 3% of Democrats who continue supporting the fucker.
It's 1.5 million John Fetterman's.
Chuck Schumer can hardly wait to send more sternly-worded questions in a letter!
Democrats are a bunch of pussies. We need more outspoken like jasmine Crockett
There is a very serious rot in the USA. It's the kind of rot that says empathy is a sin and that kindness is weakness. It's the kind of rot that says hate and bigotry are good, and kindness and acceptance are what's wrong with society. That America is best when it is what Liberals say is worst. And don't delude yourself. The rot is much higher than the 40% cited in this poll, for 100% of the Republicans and a decent chunk of independents would vote for the shitgibbon over anything on the Left because they've drank the koolaid from Team Red about Team Blue. And if that's not bad enough, enough Team Blue has drunk the Russian koolaid and will stay home or vote third party to enable Team Red to steal things and break shit.
They'd rather a 'childfucker-in-chief' to borrow Steve's line than have a Dem in charge. Both groups.

It's really just old fashioned decadence and depravity fueled by wealth inequality. Billionaire elites spend billions on GOP propaganda network to con people into unintentially giving them gigantic GOP tax cuts.
I'd never vote for any republican for any reason. But I'd also never vote for anyone who enables war crimes. So I left my vote for president blank when I filled out the rest of the ballot. And then my state went for Harris anyway. But I hear I am the worst person in the rworld and this whole thing is because of me.
Its all a big joke.
I had voted straight blue my whole life and thats over. For me and a lot of people I think. THAT is a lasting problem. The base just isnt solid anymore. Too much taking it for granted. Any "big tent" big enough to maximize vacuuming up every possible donor's check is going to end up being too constrained and untrusted to effect any change at all-- because we cant piss off any future segment of donors. And so we all end up aiding war crimes. The tent is so big and donor centric that it's unable to serve its constituents.
I disagree with your stance on the presidential ballot but I respect your position. You aren't any more responsible for Trump's actions than I would be for Kamala's. There was no one on the ballot (who could win) who was going to do anything about Gaza. For me that meant moving on to other issues. Nothing I did in that voting booth would do Palestinians any immediate good, but there were other differences between the candidates and I cast my vote on the basis of things I could affect.
But at the end of the day you and I want the same things. Why fight you when the real enemies are so clear? Even if you don't vote for the President, you're still voting for Congress and the Senate and that is crucial, too. Truth is Trump wouldn't be a problem if he didn't control the whole shebang. Mate, I appreciate everyone who filled out a ballot to make themselves heard.
The only approval rating that matter are the House and Senate. Otherwise, he remains president.

This is a good time to point out that the 2 seat GOP majority in the House was stolen. 16 GOP seats are from gerrymandering. An actually representative congress would have a 14 seat Dem majority.

And Texas is going to increase the 16 stolen gerrymandring seats to 21 stolen GOP seats because they don't think that 16 stolen seats will be enough in the next election.

I'm a Republican and why would I NOT like the Man who Raped Children with Jeffrey Epstein and ELIMINATED my Healthcare? That's just GOOD Policy! Now EXCUSE me I have a DRAG SHOW to bring a GUN to to Save The Children!
Until it is at 0 it’s still too high.
I need it to somehow be in the negatives
He raped kids. How can anyone still support him? At what point do people see that they voted for:
He is actively ruining America. But if you are all for it. What the damn hell.
"But they said our taxes will be lower so he's a good guy in my book" /s
He still has a thing called "approval rating" he is still preaident, he's still alive. So it's just nonsense
Not clicking on yet another clickbait "feel-good" article, but what is it this time-41%? Because every "New Low!!!1!" reported on is always in the low to mid 40's. Always.
These articles are purely to make the left feel a little better, which makes Democratic politicians think they can just wait a little bit longer, thinking "maybe this whole Trump thing will work itself out without me risking my position." (I'm looking at you, Schumer.)
But it's always going to be 40%, because as Trump does worse and worse things, the public gets more and more used to it, and his fascist corruption feels normal and comfortable. So it's precisely because Democratic politicians don't put up a real fight to maintain the standards and institutions Trump and the GOP are obliterating that approval never drops much below 40%. Because without Democrats enforcing standards, they will just keep falling.
And I just saw somewhere else his disapproval rating was 55% and then Fox is claiming the GOP is doing so well it’s a miracle. They can’t keep their lies straight.
40% now, but that doesn’t actually mean anything.
That's still shockingly high...
This was my reaction.
When I first saw the title, I was thinking, "it can get lower?" Then I saw the numbers and I'm shocked, shocked!
.... Well, not that shocked.
i thought it was in the twenties already. what the fuck is wrong with that dumbass country
Every time I see a new headline about is approval rating its the same headline yet some how he is still in office. It seems almost as if the U.S isn't actually a democracy after all.
Because the US system is that there is an election every four years and only every four years even if the leader does a horrendous job. In Canada, if enough people are unhappy with the government, we have processes for calling an early election
40% of Americans still support him
A month ago it was 45%
I hope this means anything good
But if 31.8% (49.8% of 63.9%) of the country voted for him, and that was enough for the Fanta Menace to get in, 40% is sadly an improvement.
Shame on the 36.1% of those who don't care enough about their country to have bothered voting.
Hopefully the Trump government will be the kick in the face Murica needs to wake up.
Spoiler: it wont
Ok, and that means what?
He's so slammed now.
ooh chuck schumer is gonna write an even harsher letter to the white house. this time he might not doodle hearts in the margins
as if it matters
lowest. so far.
It’s going down 159%, 300% soon to be down %4909 soon just watch Fox paux for our crack math analyst’s projections.
He doesn’t give a shit about his approval rating
He doesn't have to. He's got enough sycophants to keep him in power.
Dear Daily Beast:
Please pause all Trump Approval Rating articles until his approval hits Ceaucescu levels.
Then, by all means, loop me in! Live coverage would be best.
Sincerely, Every person who didn't vote for Trump
Keep it coming!
Kick him out
