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

[Correll]

Doesn't matter , trump is screwing up.everything big time. He needs to resign or be impeached very soon. 28 republicans already on board. They've had enough of him , odd you haven 't too. He is destroying America for ALL of US.

So, you want to undo the last election?

You are trying to make peaceful change impossible.

YOu sure you want to do that?

Cancel that question. I can see that you do.


If you succeed, then elections don't matter. NO matter what, we, the half the country that voted for MAGA, are not free, because our votes don't matter, when we win.

So, at that point, we aren't playing democracy as a nation any more.


Do you want a civil war?

I have to laugh you said peaceful.solution. trump has never been a peaceful person. , that's one of the main reasons the country is so divided he created that scenario with all his lies. Lies don't cut it.

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!

Orange bag O' shit.

YOur shit talk won't change anything.

If we don't get to have our way, when we win, then elections are a sham.

Time to stop pretending they matter.

Time to start playing by the new rules, of violence in the streets.


That is what you are trying to achieve.


DO YOU WANT A CIVIL WAR?

Becasue that is what you are doing. You are setting up a civil war.

 

[HikerGuy83]

We won the election.

Yeah...reminding them of that tends to cause strokes on their part.

If we don't get to do policy, then that win is a farce.

We are doing policy. And it's making a difference. Trump is really cleaning things up. At the same time, he's force the left to reveal itself. If the left tried the stuff here that they pulled in minn....there are not enough ER doctors to clean up what would happen.

And this state is going to be more red in 2026 and even more after that in 2028. Polls are showing it and people are pretty fed up with the democrats. We see potentially two house seats from al of this.

You talk such shit on us, your intent seems to be to stop us no matter what.

Don't let him get under your skin. He's a moron. All blather and no data. And when he's cornered he starts with the name calling. He's a legal expert (that is a joke btw) who can tell you how trials (that will never happen in real life) will turn out and how....if they don't turn out that way....they will remove judges.

Even if it means getting people killed.

They got themselves killed. Would you ever think of sticking your nose into a situation where armed LE (ICE is LE in spite of the diaper linings they throw out) agents are out to accomplish what they are hired to do? Seems pretty stupid. FAFO Two of them have so far. As far as that woman who rammed her car into an ICE vehicle, she should be doing time for attempted murder.

We are on the path to civil war.

WAR???? You mean slaughter. If they ever tried anything, they are so concentrated that it would be like fish in a barrel. Not to mention half of them would shoot themselves trying to handle a gun.

There won't be any war. The day will come when a group of counter protestors are going to show up and beat the living crap out of these people. That's about as far as it will get.

YOUR side's actions, have put us here.

They are just going to jail with a few of them going to the morgue.

You can play retard now, if you want.

I don't think he's "playing". He's pretty useless.

That won't change the course of events.

Yeah...love that the minn PD just put 42 people in jail. That's going to happen anywhere else before it ever escalates to this point again. I certainly don't want to see ICE shooting people....unless it's necessary. But we don't need it to be necessary if the local PD is involved.

 

[HikerGuy83]

YOur shit talk won't change anything.

I am sure his breath is just wonderful.

If we don't get to have our way, when we win, then elections are a sham.

That's a strange comment. The Constitution was designed so that the powers of government could not concentrate. What you are refering to is the lawless obstruction of ICE by people (some of whom are dying) which is much different. I have no issues with the legal wrangling that goes on. But ICE is an established and perfectly legal LE agency. And people who get in their way are breaking the law. Finally, the Minn PD is arresting them.

Pay no attention to that moron Stann's blathering. He's a butthurt lefty who can't stand that people didn't love his DEI nominee. He'll never get over it. Fortunately, he lives in a state where he is as inconsequential in politics as he is in the rest of his life.

I'm not paying attention to him. I am paying attention to if the deporations continue and which side wins elections.

If America as a whole votes for the side that does mob violence in the streets, THAT I will notice.

Trump approval just hit the 30s. Can his numbers get any lower - Nate Silver - Mar 30, 2026

$4 gas is a big problem for Trump. But broken campaign promises and series of self-inflicted wounds are eroding support even among Trump’s base.

The last time I did a check-in on President Trump’s popularity in November, I noted that the decline in his approval ratings had been remarkably linear. There have been peaks and valleys, sure, which you can correlate with particular news events. But the recovery after every bounce-back has been incomplete, leaving some permanent damage behind.

So what’s happened since then? Well, let’s just go ahead and update that chart.
Trump's numbers keep trending down


Net approval rating, with linear trendline

Obviously, the trend is still down. To be fair, his numbers were relatively flat between November and March.¹ But Trump just hit a new low in our tracking. For the first time in his second term, Trump’s approval rating in our average is (just barely) below 40 percent at 39.7. And his net approval rating is -17.4, also a new low. The recent decline has been pretty steep: about 5 points of net approval over the past several weeks.

From a political standpoint, the most important events since November are probably the killing of two American citizens by border agents in Minneapolis in January, and then, of course, the Iran War, which began on Feb. 28.² The effect of Minneapolis on Trump’s topline numbers is more debatable. Trump’s ratings have declined on immigration, and the government’s conduct in Minneapolis was deeply unpopular with swing voters. Immigration and “border security” remain just about the only issues where Trump’s ratings remain close to breakeven, however.

Democrats Are Still Significantly Less Popular Than Donald Trump​

Newsweek is a Trust Project member

Even as President Donald Trump’s approval rating has slipped, recent polls show that many Americans still view him more favorably than the Democratic Party.

Newsweek reached out to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) for comment via email.

Why It Matters​

These polls could be a red flag for Democrats about how voters view the party and its leadership as it approaches the 2026 midterm elections, when members hope to reclaim control of the House and Senate.

Donald Trump vs. Democrats: What Polls Show​

Recent polls show most Americans view Trump, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party all unfavorably. But the recent polling averages at RealClearPolitics deliver a warning sign for Democrats about their favorability.

Democrats’ net favorability rating stood at -20.4 points on Tuesday, with an average of 55.7 percent of Americans viewing the party unfavorably; compared to an average of 35.3 percent of Americans viewing the party favorably.
