As much as I like seeing the high disapproval numbers, I find it a bit disappointing how many people will turn on their president over gas prices. I mean, after all the insane shit this guy has pulled, all it takes is a buck or two more per gallon to turn them. We aren't even in a shortage situation. No lines. Nothing.

It's good to take a step back every once and a while, and remember that at one time we reported approval ratings...
There's a psychological effect coming into play here.
We need to go back to:
38% approve of trump
It hits 100% different
AKA 38% total idiots.
And if those idiots realized they were in the minority, they might feel shame...
They're dumb enough to see 62%, "trump" and that the number is higher and everything seems great.
They see a shrinking number that's how many agree with them...
Even they start to rethink their position, if nothing else out of cowardice.
We need to play to the audience, and in this context theyre all fucking idiots.
As in: if those people could read, they would be very upset?
Is it as simple as 38% approve and 62% disapprove? Many polls have something in the middle for “neither approve nor disapprove.”
In those polls, the disapproval rate can move without anything changing in the approval rating, and that’s worth reporting.
Just saying It isn’t entirely either/or.
How many years have I been reading this headline? Too damn many
No no. It went from 60% to 62% This is a historic event. Only 38% of Americans like his policies now. Only 38% would take up arms to defend him. Only 38% would kill you to protect the files. Only 38%
38% is still a lot of people that's more than 1/3.
Wow, 25% of independents still approve of him. Insane.
Still way too high
Keep in mind that a lot of Americans are really stupid.
It doesn't matter. If he stays in power past Jan 2029, he won't need an election (or any popularity polls) to do it.
It's obvious that disapproval ratings mean nothing yet the media machine constantly spits that up. I guess it makes all of us anti-trump folk feel a bit better while the brazen pedophile stumbles ever upward.
It does. It reflects the general population's approval and therefore affects the decision making of politicians looking for reelection.
Until he is dragged out of office, doesn't matter
I am here to promise you that conservatives will vote for the next one to come along.
And it's not like conservative candidates are going to get any better from here on out.
They're not the brightest, which we all know tends to correlate strongly with conservatism. I'll always remember the idiots in 2004 who voted for a second W. Bush term because "he made this mess, now he needs to clean it up".
That's like hiring an incompetent employee who messed up a mission-critical project and not only took no accountability, but verifiably lied about their actions, yet you continue employing them to finish the project.
There's no way he's getting reelected at this rate
None of this matters because at the end of the day the American electorate is just too stupid for any of this to count for anything.
They're always going to vote for the next hard R that will promise them that they'll make it all White and now you'll probably won't have a choice but to vote for the hard R in many states going forward.
What do you think the bunker is for. Dude is not leaving alive. Let's hope he follows Hitlers lead and eats a bullet soon.
We need to regulate all forms of media. Brain broken right wing wealth hoarders are beaming their bizarre worldview into the minds of grandma and grandpa.
