KJP makes Baghdad Bob look like a truth teller.I thought Joe Biden took care of that?
So how does a president with such low ratings win an overwhelming majority of electoral votes? I guess most Americans believe he did a great job his first term.
IMHO they remembered that they could afford groceries under Trump, and they are getting sticker shock every time they checkout under Biden.
Watching Live Now on Fox...Prog sided. Anti Trump commentator. Duckworth is DEI.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.

'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.

We’ve been here before.
www.pewresearch.org
It's his last term. Polls be damned. Fuck over democrats, full speed ahead.We’ve been here before.
“Donald Trump’s final job approval rating as president was 29% in a Pew Research Center poll released last week, the lowest of his presidency and a 9 percentage point drop since August, when 38% of U.S. adults approved.”
How we know the drop in Trump’s approval rating in January reflected a real shift in public opinion
The 9-point fall in approval was the largest change between two Pew Research Center polls since Donald Trump took office.
And Trump will be as unpopular in his second term as his first, a nation once again exhausted by Trump’s chaos, incompetence, and lies.
312 to 226 is all we need to know.Republicans insist that Trump is hugely popular. His polls say otherwise.

For simplistic thinkers, yes.
312-226 BIOTCH. THAT is the only poll that mattered. Not your imaginary BS.
