Trump has lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years: POLL
Donald Trump has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yet he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle the nation's main problems.
smh
Why should people trust the Democrats? They lost to this ass clown. /s (but only a little /s)
The changes in approval for each are likely from their own voters. D voters haven't approved or trusted any R's for years, so the change in Trumps approval is almost certainly from R voters.
Likewise, R voters haven't trusted D's for decades, so the change in D trust is almost certainly from D voters.
And independents
(… as a treat)
I mean, last time we gave democrats a majority, they showed themselves untrustworthy by going back on the bulk of their promises.
And yes, 2020-2022 counts even if you don't want accountability.
Approval ratings get weird, someone with a lower approval rating can beat someone with a higher approval rating.
So relatively fewer people are "excited" about a democrat candidate. If they have to pick between that candidate and Trump, they may still pick the candidate as the best practical option available, but they don't necessarily "approve" of the choice they are making. People have a hard time mustering "approval" for a milquetoast candidate, even if that person is the least objectionable to a broad set of folks.
Meanwhile Trump is making a particular sort of folk very happy, in a way no other modern politician has dared to do. Most people may find it highly objectionable driving a lot of disapproval, but you will have the die hard MAGAs ecstatic about stuffing those brown people into vans and locking them up in El Salvador without any due process.
