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

[Hollie]

He is a liar , cheat and all around scoundrel. Not even a good businessman , his record is abysmal when it comes to business. Yet he got so.many Americans into believing he is the answer to all of their problems and Democrats are responsible for all those problems. He got you to believe it.

^^^^ it lays prostrate at the altar of ole’ Stumblebum.

Trump is doing well on the economy and is doing well saving us money. He is also bringing United States hegemony back. You are right Biden's economy was awful, thanks for admitting it.
In the long run we are going to be very glad that Trump was elected in 2024.

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!

Bwahahaha..... Bwahahaha haha....hahhhhhh hahhhhh hahhhh......heh heh heh.....ahem

And we thought Biden was bad.

 

[Papageorgio]

Like I said in the Op. YOUR facts (according to you) mean nothing, EVEN if true. Elections are won by how people feel and not by reality of things. You stated that these polls are BS? No they are not, simply because these polls are done by asking a randomly-picked group of people to express what they think and FEEL about a candidate, and these are the same people that will be at the voting booths.

Bottom line, Trump has been losing support and you cannot deny it (the record amount of protests against Trump proves that). So, it is you that is being blind to facts that are staring at you, in your face.

You told us Harris would win by a landslide, because the polls were tight and you claimed some stupid BS about the polls. I said it was tight and unable to predict. You told me I was an idiot and you were right.

Turns out you were way off and we all find you are wrong more often than right, you are the last person to listen to especially about polls.

Your “ phacts” are laughable.

If the FEELs of the electorate are based not on the realities of the issues, but on manufactured hype by a partisan media,

That's a valid point to discuss.

Hell, it's an issue in of itself. True consent of the governmented or free and fair elections require an INFORMED ELECTORATE.

If the voters are being lied to on an INSTITUATIONAL LEVEL, that is a problem on many levels.

More importantly , a lot of people are acting very foolishly. Have to pity them. They know not what they do.

You don't even know what you want. Be careful what you wish for. No one would want to.live in a world that trump is trying to create. A world without compassion ,people without a conscience , total disrespect and disregard for others , totally egotistical and naive. Selfish. Not a pretty picture.

Unfortunately MAGA is the least informed political group that ever existed. Unless you consider the KKK as a political group. They're both based on lies and emotions. No reason involved.

You probably believe Trump won.by a landslide too. He didn't , it was close. 77 million to 75 million..The saddest part of it all ; this senseless fighting between the Democrats and the republicans turned so many people off that 80 plus million didn't vote at all. NONE OF THE ABOVE actually won the election.
