Republicans insist that Trump is hugely popular. His polls say otherwise.


Exaggerating the size of a president’s victory is not new. After George W. Bush won re-election in 2004, for instance, he bragged about spending his new “political capital.” But this time, the scale of the hyperbole is classically Trumpian. As much as Republicans want to throw around words such as “landslide” and “mandate,” 2024 was one of the closest elections in American history. Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris in the popular vote by less than 1.5%; only one election in the last half-century (in 2000) was closer. And the razor-thin margins by which Republicans control both the House and the Senate testify to how closely the electorate is divided.

Still, most new presidents typically enjoy a honeymoon period: Fresh from their election victory, the public invests them with hopes for positive change and gives them the benefit of the doubt. Joe Biden, for instance, had 57% approval in the first Gallup poll of his presidency; Barack Obama came in at 67% approval. Even Bush, who like Trump lost the popular vote in his first victory, started at 57%. In fact, Trump was the only president in the Gallup poll’s history — going all the way back to Harry Truman — who entered office with an approval rating under 50%. He was also the only one to never crack 50% approval for a single day of an entire term.

On the verge of his second term, even after his first popular vote victory in three tries, Trump’s approval is weak. A new Marist/NPR poll puts it at just 44%; 49% say they disapprove of him. The Economist/YouGov poll gives him a similar 45/51 split, while a USA Today/Suffolk University survey has his favorability/unfavorability at 47% each.


trump is wrong about just about everything but he did get this right.

Donald Trump says this is the reason he won last month's presidential election

Pointing to high grocery prices, Trump says, 'I won an election based on that'


If trump's policies were really as popular as The Following has been duped to believe, why the blitz of EO's on day one? Why not pass legislation to enact policy goals?

'Flood the zone': NYT report reveals top Trump aide's plan to crush foes


Miller is also calculating that he will succeed by what the Times describes as "flooding the zone" — that is, by doing so many outrageous things that Trump's political opponents will simply grow exhausted and give up fighting.

"He believes that those he regards as Mr. Trump’s enemies — Democrats, the media, groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and portions of the federal bureaucracy — are depleted and only have so much bandwidth for outrage and opposition," writes the Times. "Mr. Miller has told people that the goal is to overwhelm them with a blitz of activity."

Additionally, the report documents how Miller has risen to prominence despite or because of the fact that even many of his fellow Republicans regard him as a racist.


I'll be watching to see if trump gets through Feb. with an approval rating above 40%.

Leftwing polls are meaningless. Trump was hugely successful his first term. This time his poll numbers are higher. He will have another outstanding term, making him perhaps the most successful president in history.

The goal is not to be popular. That is not why people voted for him

The goal is to try and put the country back the way he had it.

Be warned. When the news of the day is "Trump says he wants to buy Canada" something else is going on somewhere else. That's the news and we won't be talking about it because we'll be distracted with nonsense.

Reality; polls with results you don't like are meaningless.........passing a tax cut for the rich is the Repub measure of success.............his approval ratings are much lower at the beginning of his term than other prez's..........if this term is as successful as the last one it will be another epic failure........he's already been rated as one of the worst prez's of the last century and is on track to solidify that rating.

He's been very successful at metaphorically starting a dumpster fire in the alley while he robs the store.

Mr. Miller told Mr. Zuckerberg that he had an opportunity to help reform America, but it would be on President-elect Donald J. Trump’s terms. He made clear that Mr. Trump would crack down on immigration and go to war against the diversity, equity and inclusion, or D.E.I., culture that had been embraced by Meta and much of corporate America in recent years.

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products.
Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for an inclusivity initiative at Facebook that encouraged employees’ self-expression in the workplace, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

Earlier this month, Mr. Zuckerberg’s political lieutenants previewed the changes to Mr. Miller in a private briefing. And on Jan. 10, Mr. Zuckerberg made them official: Meta would abolish its D.E.I. policy.


Can we just say the quiet part out loud. The hysteria over DEI is really just "you will not replace us" lite.

What a glorious four years it will be with wall-to-wall posts like this one, long and full of word salad, whining about how you hate President Trump, but are going to be able to do NOTHING about it.

Yes part of why he won was because of the dems war on the working class and causing groceries to increase by 25 percent

And yes it’s going to be hard to undo the damage done by the dems

Both are true statements, i fail to see your point…
