Trump Approval Rating Plummeting at a Record Rate

[bripat9643]

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.

NAZI propaganda.

Wow! A Captain Obvious thread, how insightful!

Captain Obvious brought numbers.

Good for him. That's a rare find, a liberal that actually backs up their bullshit with something resembling facts. The only problem is....nobody claimed otherwise.

So yep, captain obvious has left the building.

Actually ---- I AM the OP. Observe much?

I even got me a red sash on my avatar.

You referred to yourself in the 3rd person so I did as well.

Dumbass.

We do not support the rioters at blm rallies. You support the rioters last week right?

Not at all, now can you find a single liberal on this forum a single time that said they condemned BLM riots? Because I was here daily and I never saw one.

 

[bripat9643]

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!

Sending everyone registered to vote an absentee ballot is not cheating. It’s effective though.

Yes, it is cheating, NAZI. For one thing, the legislature never approved it.

Debating politics on Facebook provides me with the patterns that occur in real life.

Hes using the present tense.

Minutes ago he said he dumped his facebook account a year ago.

Fucker is too stupid to lie eh?

You are correct; I used the incorrect word.
I gave up on the retards a long time ago.

You're now tripping over your own past statements and have no way of proving they are true.

You see and remember what you want to remember. We support the movement not the rioters. The rioters make us look bad.

You however like and support the rioters last week. Am I wrong?

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.

But the border wall!

Trump did more for black people than any other president including Lincoln

And I should be feeling what at this point in time?

Trump made your healthcare more affordable. He raised wages so much people people still couldn’t get by 2 months without paychecks. He raised growth from 2.2% to 2.3%. He stopped 1000 mexicans from getting in with his expensive wall. He pissed off muslims by taking out an Iranian general, for you. Bin Ladin no biggy though. He stopped Obama’s illegal wars and started his own, for you. You’re welcome.

What should you feel? Gratitude

Don't know what alternate university this was posted from but my healthcare went up and so did my taxes. And my porfolio went the other direction.

Course, I live in the Real World so maybe that explains it.

How did your taxes go up when they were lowered?

Corporations saw their income tax rates fall from 35% to 21%. Have you seven the debt? What about infrastructure spending? What about social security and Medicare?

I don’t think the crumbs you got were worth it.

Have I seven the debt? What about the other two? What crumbs? I directly benefitted from the cuts.

How much do you make and how many kids?

Two kids

AGI is mid six figures

Well no wonder you’re a republican.

I am an Independent. I don't belong to political parties. And Jeff Bezos is a Democrat. How does that correspond with your statement?

Bezos isn't a Democrat and is probably more independent than you are.

Link.....

Who was the last Republican he voted for in your opinion?

Thanks

Is bezos for corporate tax breaks? Then he’s no democrat. Not a fiscal one. Maybe he is liberal on social issues but what matters most is fiscal.

Not to Leftists.

Ditto.

You too. You fully support the rioters last week right? We only supported black lives matter the movement and we defended protests. Not the rioting.

Same for occupy wallstreet. We supported that movement. Wallstreet fuckedus after the Great Recession. But what did you republicans do? You defended wallstreet and attacked the movement. You said they were raping people in those tents.

We didn’t defend anyone who raped anyone. But if one of the coup leaders raped Nancy Pelosi, you’d for sure defend the rapist.

We know.

You may as well not vote.

Now you know how black people have felt for years. You disenfranchised them for years and made it harder for them to vote. Hell bush tried to throw their votes out this year. Racism is still alive.

So I hope like they did you feel like now why bother voting. The system is rigged. May as well vote third party or not vote at all. There’s no diffence. All you’re voting for is a rino.

It’s only as left as he allows. Does it write articles explaining why amazon should pay more taxes? How workers are underpaid? Then it’s not fiscally liberal
