Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So - September 2025 Poll

[Luckyone]

The title of the OP says it all, and it is not opinion but facts:

Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So​

President Donald Trump understands better than anyone else alive that his hold on his supporters—and on plenty of swing voters too—depends on the mere perception that he’s strong, wins everywhere, always acts boldly, and wields absolute mastery over his eternally feckless, disoriented enemies. Last month, after an anemic July jobs report, Trump fired the steward of jobs data, magically transforming the story from one about the Trump economy’s weakness into one about him decisively crushing a newly designated foe.

On Friday, however, the new jobs report found that only 22,000 jobs were created in August, far fewer than the 73,000 created in July. A downward revision of the previous month shows 13,000 jobs were lost in June. Shockingly, firing the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics could not disguise the impact of Trump’s own policies: As economists noted, most signs suggest his tariffs are an important reason for the slowdown.

What is most telling about this most recent poll is the fact that on the 2 issues that he ran on (and won because of it) are immigration and inflation. After 8 months of being in office, he is now polling negative on immigration (-4.1%) and on inflation, it is down -24%. Heck, on jobs and the economy, he is -16.5%.

By the way and before you attempt to dispute whether these numbers are wrong or not or whether these numbers are biased, the reality is that these are poll numbers which show what Americans in general are FEELING and BELIEVING about Trump's competency and his ability to get things done. This means that reality is not important at all. This is what Americans are going to feel about Trump, when they VOTE! As such, reality is meaningless.

Backing all of this information even more so, here is another interesting fact:

Gavin Newsome (California's governor), who also has a negative rating on the polls, is now leading Trump on the most recent polls:

How Gavin Newsom's Favorability Ratings Compare to Donald Trump​

Published Sep 04, 2025 at 9:32 AM EDT​

Gavin Newsom is slightly more popular than Donald Trump, new polls have shown. According to polling by The Economist/YouGov, Newsom has a net approval rating of -10 percentage points, while Trump's is -15. The poll of 1,691 adults was conducted between August 29 and September 2 with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points.

A Yahoo/YouGov poll of 1,690 adults found that Newsom has a net approval rating of -9, while Trump's approval rating is at -14. The poll was conducted between August 29 and September 2 and had a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

According to two polls, the California governor is more favored than the president by 5 percentage points.

When you consider that Newsome, who is a man few people even consider should be president, is beating Trump by 5 points, it supports the fact that Americans (including Republicans) are seeing Trump as a president that is failing the nation.

Last but "not least" is the fact that even among Trump's most ardent supporters, his approval ratings are down. He has always had a very high approval among his supporters (95%) but that is now down to 85%. It is still high but it does mean that 10% of his base is now believing he is doing a bad job.

Once again and for all those Trump supporters that immediately jump on anyone that criticize Trump (accuse them of having TDS), this is not an OP that is here to criticize Trump's actions (so they can be disputed) but is an OP that shows the fact that Trump is being seen (by a "growing" number of Americans) as a President that is failing at his job.

That is what counts at election time!

From the White House (Trump), an immediate response to this poll:

Trump just hit an all-time high approval rating, White House says.​

The White House is celebrating a new milestone for President Donald Trump.

The Trump administration announced on Friday that the president’s approval rating has just reached an all-time high, according to a new poll from the Daily Mail/J.L. Partners.

Here is the Media Bias check on the Daily Mail

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE​

A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing of credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact-checked on a per-article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.

• Overall, we rate Daily Mail Right Biased and Questionable due to numerous failed fact checks and poor information sourcing.

This seems to once again be that Trump is trying to con people and not supply the facts.

Another BS poll

 

[BlindBoo]

I disagree. He is strong or active wannabe Fascist Dictator. He is using all levers of power including the inappropriate use of emergency powers to enact the Neo-GOP's disastrous ultra conservative super agenda. They want the return of the worlds most deadly and/or disfiguring diseases because they don't want you or your descendances on earth at all. They want your descendances to die. Why else would they not support vaccines against the scourge of Small Pox or Polio?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

We all know democrats lie. That's why we don't pay an attention to polls. Remember when Hillary had a 96 % chance of being elected president? All the polls said so. As for Gavin Newsom, seriously, he hasn't a prayer. He has just fucked California over too much and too many times.

Great reply, for a true Trump believer and cult member.

I am sure that you do not consider the poll that Trump mentioned (from a proven extreme right-leaning source) to be wrong, right?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He is using all levers of power including the inappropriate use of emergency powers to enact the Neo-GOP's disastrous ultra conservative super agenda.

You remind me. The small pox vaccine used to be mandatory. It hasn't been for years. Making vaccines voluntary is a far cry from wanting people to get sick. MRNA vaccines are nothing like vaccines for polio, measles or any other trusted vaccines. MRNA vaccines are dangerous and it kills.

 

[whitehall]

Trump is Weak? Underwater? Is this the same segment of society that told us that Biden was at the top of his game? The old "rules for radicals" strategy ain't working anymore and the democrat party is falling apart.

I knew a journalist for the Daily Mail, he said the place ridiculous... It has very little to do with political ideology but making money. Write anything as long as it generates traffic...
He said they had fair trade coffee in the break room while we are writing articles critiquing it to annoy people.

Said you shouldn't believe the weather forecast...

Congress has the power of the purse. They decide on the tax laws. Same thing with spending. Career civil servants have job protection for a reason, and many of his firings are going to cost the Government more money in the end. The Neo-GOP increases the debt by giving out tax cuts to the wealthiest. Democrats increase the debt in response to disasters, man made, like 2008, and natural ones like Covid

Last but "not least" is the fact that even among Trump's most ardent supporters, his approval ratings are down. He has always had a very high approval among his supporters (95%) but that is now down to 85%. It is still high but it does mean that 10% of his base is now believing he is doing a bad job.

Once again and for all those Trump supporters that immediately jump on anyone that criticize Trump (accuse them of having TDS), this is not an OP that is here to criticize Trump's actions (so they can be disputed) but is an OP that shows the fact that Trump is being seen (by a "growing" number of Americans) as a President that is failing at his job.

That is what counts at election time!

Another day, another bullshit OP by the troll.
