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

[Correll]

That does not mean anything, given that at this time Trump is president, the Republicans are in charge and the Democrats do not yet have a nominee or decided on a platform. As such, their approval rating is meaningless.

Trump's approval has dropped and since he "IS" president, that is meaningful.

I apologize if the facts burst's your balloon, but Mother Nature reality is a *****

It's normal for an incoming president to have a honeymoon period of high numbers.


It is normal for it to not last forever.


On the other hand, the results of his policies are starting to be felt and the early results are looking damn fine.

People will note better jobs and wages, not to mention safer streets.

The mid terms are really your last chance for a long time.

you lefties NEED to shout down the reports on the results, keep the din up about what ever shit talk seems to have the most "stick tothe wall" and hope you can trick the people to give you at least one part of congress.

Then you might be able to sabotage America.


But otherwise, people will notice, and the voter registration trends will just keep going our way.


Generation after generation, growing up with MAGA as the new normal.

You're aware of the trends in voter registration?

Nope, I don't follow it as I view its only worth is as a senseless discussion point for political talking heads. It is like the overwhelming majority of political discussions here that I don't share any interest and find easy to ignore.

My belief is in the old Tip O'Neill philosophy that all politics is local, meaning it all comes down to how secure we voters feel about our economic condition at election time. So even if the poll is accurate, there's a year yet until it matters.

The gain for maga in the voter registration trends is young people growing up and listening to the world and deciding that the GOP is hte party that represents them.


That is going to be hard to change. Especially once it sets. You let these kids vote GOP for two or three elections and we might very well have them for LIFE.


Trump, MAGA, might be the new normal, for the rest of your life and beyond.

Facts (or what Trumps supporters believe facts are) are useless when people vote at the voting booths. Perception is the only thing that counts there

My bank account is what matters and its better under Trump

 

[Unkotare]

Hoover - Kennedy - Trump

What do they all have in common?

Why I provide for my family. Thats bad? You must be on welfare

 

[Luckyone]

Your article’s far left wing bias, doesn’t make it reliable, but if Newsome is your pick for 2028, you guys learned nothing about why you lost in 2024.

I think both parties are stuck in stupid, but you support them, what else do you expect?

The OP mentioned Newsome as a comparison to Trump. I have not yet chosen a candidate to vote for, but Newsome would not be among the ones I would choose

Democrats dont have a candidate

How about we start with you idiots that initiate these threads and accept them as gospel.

No let's start with this pic of yours.

You are the idiot here.

So how do you make out on welfare. Other peoples money you didnt earn

That reminds me I have to see how much money I made today. AI and semiconductors stocks have been very good to me

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Gee why is it that it is not mandatory any more? Could it be that mandating the Vaccination eradicated from the US and most of the world?


Of course they are. They force our bodies to develop an immunity response just like the original vaccines that used virus bits to create the same response.

Probably. It does illustrate just how little you know of the subject. No one is suggesting that vaccines should be banned and no one should be permitted to take a vaccine. It's, make vaccines voluntary, especially newly developed vaccines. Especially MRNA vaccines that have already caused harm.

Why is the word voluntary so scary?

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!

Why is the word voluntary so scary?

When did I say they were outright banning them? Making it hard to get them by allowing insurance companies to not cover them and to spread false rumor like vaccines cause autism will cause a significant number of people to not get their children the vaccines they were required to get. It's like a Russian deep state plot to kill our grandchildren, only it's a Neo-GOP ploy, obviously a GOP led by Satan.

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...

The OP mentioned Newsome as a comparison to Trump. I have not yet chosen a candidate to vote for, but Newsome would not be among the ones I would choose

And it it comes down to Newsom and say JD Vance how do you vote? We know the two party system has a way of giving America bad candidates.

My choice would find a third party to try to break the two party control.

 

[jknowgood]

Three more years

Hopefully if Vance keeps it going 7 more years!
