Support For Trump Down, Support For Ukraine Up

[schmidlap]

So why didn’t you go off and fight?

Trump promised me that he'd end Putin's war.

Trump's promise to end the Ukraine war in a day ​

Should I have believed him?

Trump promised me that he'd end Putin's war.

He was kidding.

He likes to kid.

He kids.

He's a kidder.

He was kidding.

Support for Trump is deteriorating almost as quickly as his health.

Trump has a very weird blotch on his right hand which is getting worse, and karma has afflicted him with cankles. He is also showing more and more signs of dementia.

I know the first thought of some people will be that Trump is not running for president again, but that is just a desperate denial of how important a president's popularity is in mid-term elections.

And before anyone hawks up the unpopularity of the Democratic Party in the polls, there's this:

Democrats Regain Advantage in Party Affiliation​

Things are looking bad for Trump.

Trump sees growing disapproval rating among Americans​

The Economist/YouGov poll found that 40 percent of Americans “strongly or somewhat” approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency. More than half of U.S. adults, 56 percent, said they “strongly or somewhat” disapprove of the president’s job. Some 4 percent were not sure when asked.

.
The worst part is that Trump can't even score 50 percent approval among his most loyal supporters:

Trump’s highest approval rating is among those 65 years old and older, with nearly half, 48 percent, saying they “strongly or somewhat” approve of his work as president.

.

.
Just less than a quarter of surveyed Americans, 23 percent, said they “strongly approve” of Trump’s work as president, while 47 percent said they “strongly disapprove.”
.


That survey was two days ago.


.
Here's another:

Trump’s job approval and views of his personal traits​

President Donald Trump’s current job approval rating stands at 38%, with 60% of U.S. adults expressing disapproval of his performance. This is a modest decline from two months ago, when 41% approved.

And perceptions of some of Trump’s personal traits are more negative than they were following his election victory (or in 2024 preelection polling). For instance, 37% of Americans today say “cares about the needs of ordinary people” describes Trump well. That share is 8 points lower than it was shortly after the November election, and 5 points lower than it was in late-summer preelection polling.

.
Smaller shares say the same about the phrases “mentally sharp” (48%), “keeps his promises” (43%), “cares about the needs of ordinary people” (37%), “honest” (36%) or “a good role model” (29%).

Looking at that chart, Trump is far more unpopular now than when Biden bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal!

Now to Ukraine:

Dramatic Rise in Republican Support for Ukraine​

This survey was taken just before Trump invited the Stalinist mass murderer onto American soil.

.
In a 21-point shift, 51 percent of Republicans now favor providing US military aid to Kyiv.
.

.
A 21-point shift! Holy cow!

.

• Overall, six in 10 continue to support the United States sending arms and military supplies to Kyiv (62%, up from 52% in March) and providing economic assistance to Ukraine (61%, up from 55% in March)
• The most substantial shifts are among Republicans (+9 percentage points for economic assistance, +21 military aid) and Independents (+7 economic, +10 military). In fact, 51 percent of Republicans now support providing military aid to Ukraine.
• Large majorities of both Republicans (74%) and Democrats (77%) support increasing sanctions against Russia.
• The potential for Putin’s refusal of a peace deal does not seem to impact American public support for US policies toward Ukraine.
• Six in 10 Americans (60%) express a favorable view of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; just 10 percent view Putin favorably.

.
"just 10 percent view Putin favorably."

As I have been saying all this time, Putin's MAGA appeasers better get on the right side of history.

A medical diagnosis from a moron.

Great excuse, you had two years to fight and die for Globohomo, why didn’t you?

Great excuse, you had two years to fight and die for Globohomo, why didn’t you?

Do you demand that everyone who supports a nation that has been invaded must personally engage in combat?

That is very odd.

That is very odd.

You support a conflict , you should be forced to fight in it rather then others, but you war hawks don’t.

And yet another dumb media spin out of desperation. You people totally take the cake!

Most patriotic Americans support Ukraine.

Very few back the invader and his North Korean allies.

Prove it.

I don’t care what a bunch of tv brain idiots believe. He didn’t invade out of the blue and for no reason, Ukraine was murdering Russians. Russian asked them to stop, Ukraine continued to murder them, so Russia invaded.

Your Russian propaganda is noted.

The blowhard has been strutting his impotence for far too long:

Trump said he could stop the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
