Trump approval plummets to levels seen in midterm wipeout

Rightwing organization, Newsweek, is reporting that Trump's approval has plummeted to the levels that saw the republicans wiped out in 2018. Cites the vastly unpopular tariffs and sky high recession fears.

Looks like Trump will only have another year and a half to totally trash this place.

Donald Trump's strong disapproval rating surges

Trump's approval rating has taken a notable hit, with disapproval numbers now mirroring levels seen during the 2018 midterm elections.

www.newsweek.com

According to pollster Harry Enten, Trump's disapproval rating is currently at a similar level to November 2018, when the Republicans lost the House in the midterms and the Democrats gained 41 seats. At the time, 42 percent disapproved of Trump's job performance, according to Enten's analysis.

Now, that number stands at 43 percent. According to Enten, that could be a bad sign for Trump, who is still more than a year away from the next round of midterm elections.

Democrats are at 21%.
Bullshit threads like this contribute to further downsliding.

Nope more people didn’t vote

I'm explaining to you that very few people that actually understand economics belive he is doing this the right way.

Even among people that generally support using tarrifs to even out the trade problems there is a large concensus that Trump is using bad faith arguments and has gone off the fucking rails.

No economist off Trump's payroll looked at this bullshit stunt and thought - "hey, this is sound data for a coherent policy"

Guys like Krugman and Reich who are consistently wrong?

Nope more people didn’t vote

161.42 million registered voters
262,083,034 million total population 18 and over
trump + harris = 152.32 million
77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152320193
262.1 - 152.3 = 109.3 million didnt vote, that were elible to vote
109.3 / 262.1 = 41% that could vote, didnt vote
262.1 - 77.3 = 184.8 million voting age population didnt vote for trump
184.8 / 262.1 = 70.5% of voting age poplation didnt vote for trump

number of registered voters that didnt vote for trump: 161.42 - 77.3 = 84.12 million
percentage of registered voters that didnt vote for trump: 84.2 / 161.42 = 52.2%

they don't want success. Isn't it obvious?

They HAD success. Joe Biden was their idea of success. All that matters to them is party over country. They would have gladly taken another Biden term over George Washington.

Lucky for you that not only isn't any of that true, but we have a long time to the midterms, lots of time for tariffs to work and become popular, and plenty of times for people's market jitters to settle down, leaving Trump more popular than ever.

When have they ever worked? When were they ever popular?

Also.. he just paused them, so were they going to work or not? Why pause if they were about to work?

Always.

Hang on to your pants. It isn't so much the tariffs themselves as the threat of tariffs. Trump is going to get his pound of flesh.

never, politicians with no balls always took the status quo and fked american citizens. Didn't give a shit about the middle class. they still don't. You are evidence of that since you can't see the upside. More american jobs, more revenue and that is bad news for you. stay stupid grasshopper.

heaven forbid trump really succeeds right? can't have that cause that means no wins in the future. your only play is to fk americans.

Also.. he just paused them, so were they going to work or not?

countries came to the table. It's a pause. He didn't stop them. He invited them to the table to negotiate, if they don't in 90 days they go back up. What is it you can't see here?

Why pause if they were about to work?

countries said they wanted to negotiate and trump took the win for the moment.

 

[toobfreak]

Trump won. He killed the Electoral college. He took all 7 swing states. He won the popular vote by millions.

You were handed your asses.

Proof of that is how hard you now try to rationalize your defeat after telling us in 2016 Hillary getting the pop vote by 2.8 million proved Trump was illegitimate. Funny how now the pop vote means nothing.

Because the tariffs are working exactly as they were designed to.

So explain this a little more clearly. Is the goal to raise tariffs for workers and revenue making it more expensive to do business overseas or is it to get lower tariffs from other nations and lower prices making it cheaper to do business overseas? Cheaper tariffs or more expensive tariffs. It cant be both.

MAGA: We need tariffs!

TRUMP: I am pausing tariffs.

MAGA: We dont need tariffs we need Trump to negotiate tariffs away!

absolutely

TRUMP: I am pausing tariffs.

because 75 countries said they are ready to negotiate. Great negotiation practice. Take the win and get out products into those countries to help our middle class. I know you can't stand americans.

MAGA: We dont need tariffs we need Trump to negotiate tariffs away!

yep, that's exactly what he just did.

BTW, he did this and added to China to keep China away from gathering the EU against us. Again, the things you have no clue about. Doesn't surprise me.

You're not the brightest bulb, certainly, but you finally figured something out. A fleeting glance of lucidity, I'm sure.
