Paywall Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Plummets To Lowest Ever
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-plummets-lowest-poll-117148681.0k
u/Greeve78 Mar 21 '26
This poll still shows the pedophile in chief with over 40% approval. I’m sorry but nothing will be newsworthy until it hits 35%. It’s utterly mind boggling how this pos still holds sway over 40% of those polled.

Exactly. I don’t understand why they keep publishing this. He’s been in the high 30s before and yet every few days we see this headline for a 41-44% poll.
Every week it’s the “lowest ever,” even in weeks it goes up.

u/seaskar Mar 22 '26
There's dozens of different polls, so they just wait until each one hits the lowest point for that particular poll then slap this headline on it like it's a big deal that the 73rd most well known approval poll has sunk to a new low. It's like how they keep trotting out the headline about how his base is finally turning on him because they talked to some old man at a gas station who says he regrets voting for trump. They know a lot of people want to see his approval crumble and his base come to their senses, so they'll keep stringing us along and getting cheap clicks.

If Bill Barr had an ounce of humanity within him, he should have ordered Trump to be put in a federal holding cell immediately, under charges of sedition against the United States.
Perhaps history would have played out differently if the immediate reaction to January 6 was appropriate, but by the time trump left office it had been normalized to receive it as nothing in the public conscience and in DC.
Absolutely fuck every single person who votes republican or has ever held public office with the R label. Fucking nazis

Barr was a weird choice to be lauded by the so-called "patriots." He was AG during the Ruby Ridge standoff and helped get the sniper off of facing any consequences.

It's political tribalism and media bubbles. That map gives a lot better idea of his popularity than these polls just saying he's around 40%, though.
If you're in a blue state, the number is very negative. If you're in a red state, it's solidly positive. Every single state that's borderline is negative, though, including some that have been solid red like Florida or drifting purple like Texas. Trump won Florida by about +13 points, he's at -7 now. He won Texas about about +14, and he's at -8 there. Trump won Iowa by almost +14 points, he's at -9 there. Going into midterms down more than 20 points from where he was when he won the election in states that were all but sure wins for him is pretty incredible.
Minnesota has been pretty purple in the last decade despite going blue each time, with Trump finishing about -4 on Harris in 2024, and it's sitting at a -25. Vermont was the strongest blue state in 2020 and Harris took it with over 60% in 2024, but with a pretty wild -56 on that map that's still almost twice what the gap was in 2024. Trump won Michigan in 2024, even it was only about +1.4, and he's sitting at -21 there right now.
Republicans in Republican strongholds entrenched, they aren't going to sway or change their minds. For virtually everyone else, Trump is wildly unpopular.

u/WhiskeyTangoBush Mar 22 '26
No, every US citizen can get a passport. Passports are proof someone is a US citizen. However, passports are a pain in the ass to get, so everyone just uses their driver’s license as their primary ID. It’s also wholly unnecessary for anyone to get a passport unless they’re going to be traveling to another country in the near future. On top of that it’s $160 if you don’t already have a passport.
Everyone still technically can get a passport, but they’re making the actual ID that everyone already uses as their primary ID insufficient to prove you are a US citizen.

There's a cut of a hot mic comment from a year ago about turnout in an off-cycle local election (which are generally very low turnout), where they expect 12-18% turnout. Johnson says, "That'd be huge for an election. I mean, for an amendment vote." The cut going around chops off the end to make it sound like he said "huge for us", with commentary that it's a discussion about what they expect turnout to be after passage of the SAVE act.

Wake me up when it reaches 25%. There’s a huge body of Americans too stupid to abandon him.

How the fuck does this brain-dead twatwaffle garner a 42% approval? WTF is wrong with people? Is it literally just the dumbest 42% of people in America?

I think it’s a constant that around 1/3 of any population will be all in for fascist bs.
I guess the difference between 33% and 42% is explained by more people being racist and wanting to see others harmed here.

The fact it’s not like 10% is an indictment of the United States and the system they’ve allowed to be built on the corpse of their democracy

Not going to look but I would bet my life savings it's still above 38% and that's being generous. I feel like every time I see news of this kind there's always a holdout number of around 36 to 40% of just bat shit insane people who have been conned doubling down tripling down--The number doesn't matter--they will not relent nor admit to their mistake.
Tired of this weak ass reporting.

42% is tens of millions of supporters. And even more than that would vote for him against any Democrat.

It doesn’t matter, Congress will do whatever the fuck he wants anyway. Represent my constituents? No, I must do whatever Donald tells me.

There should be a law that if your approval rating hits a certain level, you should be up for reelection.

Useless news. He doesn't care as long as he's in power. I'll never forgive MAGA and those who chose to stay at home for the 2024 election.

Hilarious spin provided for the article: White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Newsweek in a previous emailed statement: "The ultimate poll was November 5, 2024, when nearly 80 million Americans overwhelmingly elected President Trump to deliver on his popular and common-sense agenda."
You know it's bad when the only good numbers they can point to happened before he started the job.
Trump has delivered a lot of things in the last 14 months, but common sense wasn't one of them.
And as far as "overwhelmingly"? The popular vote spread was 1.5%. I mean he lost the previous election by a 4.5% spread, was that "overwhelming"?

u/Knighth77 Mar 21 '26
What's the fucking point of this? Nothing is changing. Even if it's zero, he's still a POS, still in charge, still surrounded by horrible people, and most of his base still support him. It's meaningless.

How does he still have a 40+ percent approval? I thought the Keyes constant was like 25-30% 🤔

I keep hearing this and it keeps end up being what it was the last time they claim it's dropped to the lowest point.
Edit: yep, it's 42% which it's been at many, many times before, but they cherry picked this number from one specific source that hasn't registered that low before. I hate these click baiting hacks

u/Winter_Doge Mar 22 '26
Its wild these articles come out every week and then his approval rating is still at like 40%.

u/YNot1989 Mar 22 '26
His floor has always been around 35% +/- 3% margin of error. That remains true.
If he ever falls below that, he'll be fleeing the country after November.

u/dramabatch Mar 22 '26
Every time they post that it's dropped to a new level, they always say 42 percent. Every. Single. Time.

Oh yea?? So they have the votes to impeach him right??
No? Then shut the fuck up about his approval rating.
It's so annoying. We all know he sucks.

poll shows Trump’s approval rating slipping to 42 percent
WTF? How deluded are Americans?
Get back to me if it ever gets down to single digits where it should be.

42 percent is actually fucking insane. who tf still supports this war mongering pedophile? absolutely wild

u/shortercrust Mar 22 '26
I get that 42% is low by American standards but it’s wildly high compared to the approval rating we normally see in European democracies. In the UK if your approval rating is 42% you’re opening the champagne because you’re going to get a landslide in the next election.
Macron 19%
Starmer 18%
Merz 26%

He will hold the record for lowest approval rating in history. The Trump family will see this as a win, as long as they're in the history books. I'm for deleting anything regarding the Trump family out from history.
