Trump Approval Rating Plummeting at a Record Rate

More partisan bullshit.
We'll see in 2022 and 2024 who the voters prefer.
No we will not because the Dems are gonna steal the election , again!
Hope not. States should follow the FL example how to run a clean and efficient election.
Voting is done on election day, and results known election evening, no "finding" votes allowed.

For the abjectly and wilfully ignorant, that's because Florida does not have mindless laws that say it's illegal to open and count mail-in votes before Election Day, as, say, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin do. So come Election Day Florida already knew what 90% of its mail-in vote was. While Pennsylvania knew, literally, 0%.

I can't believe any of you delusionists are STILL willing to put your name next to idiocy this fucking stupid.
It completely changes how I perceive usmb republicans. If they really believe this years election was rigged, how can I take them seriously on any other issue. It’s the litmus test for republicans.

But it's not Republicans, it's the self-delusional cultists. Irrespective of political parties.
I voted for Slick in 96, but that's about it, and I gotta say the gop has been on its knees blowing Trump for four years. The only politician who stood up to him and kept his job is Mitt Romney, and Utah is unique in that Mormons don't really follow the gop line. (Mike Lee primarying Bennett was not a high point though)
 
FiveThirtyEight.com, Jan. 15

>> In the wake of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, public opinion is souring quickly on President Trump as he enters the final days of his term. Not only do a majority of Americans blame him for the riot at the Capitol and favor removing him from office, but his job approval rating has fallen faster in recent days than at any point in his presidency.​
According to FiveThirtyEight’s approval tracker,1 39.4 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 56.3 percent disapprove (a net approval rating of -16.8 percentage points). On Jan. 6, the day of the Capitol attack, Trump’s net approval rating stood at -10.3 points, which means his net approval rating has fallen 6.5 points in just eight days. It turns out that’s the biggest drop in Trump’s net approval that our tracker has ever recorded.​
To put this into perspective, there have been only two other times when Trump’s net approval rating fell by at least 5 points over an eight-day period: once in February 2017, after he issued executive orders to begin construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and to suspend the refugee program and prohibit entry for visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries,2 and then again in March 2017, after Republicans began their legislative efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.3
.... As Trump continues to falter, it’s worth noting just how atypical this trend is for a president in his last couple of months in office. Outgoing presidents often get at least a little bump in approval, regardless of whether they were popular or unpopular. For instance, President Barack Obama’s net approval rating rose from about +8 after the 2016 election to almost +20 when Trump took office, while President George W. Bush’s net approval rating rose from -43 in November 2008 to about -30 going into Obama’s inauguration in January 2009. Even President George H.W. Bush, the last incumbent president to lose reelection before Trump, saw his net approval go from -23 after the election to +18 by the time he left the White House. It’s hard to imagine such a huge shift in this more polarized era, but Trump’s net approval has definitely declined more than his predecessors’. <<​
FiveThirtyEight is a stat-freak site which aggregates and averages polls to find a mean, the Presidential-approval version of which can be seen on this page. Graphs compare the last dozen POTUSes day by day, approval and disapproval. Interestingly Rump is the one and only approval line, going all the way back to Truman, who has never touched 50%, appropriate for a candidate who couldn't touch 50% in the popular votes of Michigan Wisconsin or Pennsylvania (Florida, North Cackalackee, AridZona, friggin' Utah...) and certainly not the nation.

Rump's net approval stands right now at minus 17 and still dropping like a stock market that just heard about Coronavirus. I think Rump's going down to a record low, at least for him if not for all of history, befitting the single worst individual to ever hold the office.
How is this not in the Rubber Room? The title itself is a trolling pejorative.
We are all enjoying the fall of our leader.
What does that have to do with my question? Enjoy it in the Rubber Room all you want.

Hope not. States should follow the FL example how to run a clean election.
I bet you feel secure in yer knowledge that only Florida knows how to run a clean election.
FL did not have any voter fraud issues after they cleaned up Broward County.
You mean rigged Diebold voting machines? Or ES&S? Florida is the poster child for rigged elections. They know how to suppress black votes.
LOL!! Democrats are just shocked that Hispanics totally rejected their "socialist" messaging.
Trump got more black votes than any prior Republican. It helps to do shit as opposed to talk shit.
It was a nice try. You know if trump didn’t act like an asshole he would have easily won again. He chose to be divisive.
Trump doesn't "act" like an asshole. There's a reason why the only candidate he ever defeated was Hillary, and he did that while getting 2% fewer votes than she got.
He defeated what 12 other GOP candidates first? He also got 74.2Mil votes. What was the most BHO got? GWB? Come on man.
BHO never ran against Trump.
 
80 million Americans love Trump for being the best President this country ever had.

He would be our President now if it wasn't for the filthy Democrats stealing the election with the scam of unverified mail in ballots in the Democrat controlled swing districts.

China Joe is an embarrassment to this country.

The US is laughing stock of the world now with our blatant stolen election and dufus President Elect.
Republicans are coming around and admitting that election fraud was lie. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma today admitted it was all a Lie and apologized.

Truly anyone with a functioning brain knows that election fraud is and was a scam to overturn an election. A scam no different that Trump’s charitable foundation and Trump University.

Brainwashed Trumpers like yourself will never admit the truth. You don‘t want to admit it.
The Republican party has become Burger King. The home of the whopper. Not just lies, whoppers. Its sad really.
You mean both parties and the News Entertainment Media? OK.
Aren’t you swallowing the lie that the election was stolen from trump? So you’re swallowing and repeating lies From fake news not us.

And bush was so bad America elected a black person.
I'm an optimist. I considered him half white, but his name was definitely a distraction (-: Voting for W in 2000 is one I regret, though …. I hope I wouldn't have voted for Gore.

Pogo,
Totally agree that many state legislatures need to improve their outdated election laws. Require signature matching, voter ID, and no "finding votes" after polls close. Those should be federal standards.
Your state list is a good start. I'd add GA, NC, MN, NV, AZ, and MI.

Find one post where I said it was stolen. Thank you. I actually congratulated the winners. Maybe you should not make blanket accusations?

 
He's done. Politically, legally, financially. His name is shit. He once had a shot to build a media empire. Now, outside of his willing sheep, there will be no one to give him money or a platform. Like the response to the virus, I can't see another way that Trump could have fucked things up worse than he did.
You have ph uked up so many people. How can children live a good life when moms are working?

Rump couldn't even pull 45% (let alone 50) in Utah when he slithered into office. Rumpologists will quickly crow that that's because Utahan Evan McMullen was on the ballot, which he was, but that's even worse as it shows that Utahans would rather toss a vote to a 3P candidate they knew had no shot, than hold their nose tightly enough to vote for Rump.

--- which is again another argument for abolishing the Electoral College, since Rump got 100% of Utah's EVs while unable to get 45% of its vote.

When you can't win frickin' UTAH with an R after your name ---------- that's WEAK.

Okey doke!

And, of course, during the next four years, his approval rating may rise significantly, with some people regretting that they failed to vote for him on November 3.

Not any more ridiculous than calling Trump a Russian agent and calling those who voted for him seditionists. Maybe extremists on both sides should STFU?

Yep, Real Clear shows about the same, and they include Razzy's per usual outlier. In the "modern era" Rump beats 'em all for gutter level approval ratings and that includes Nixon. His was 48% right before he left office.

This is already out of date. Trump now has an approval of 38.1 and a disaproval of 58.0.

This is what that looks like and it is devastating.
