Trump's Approval Now Down to 30%

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Note that in 2018 the Republican Party received a pretty good shellacking in the midterms. They had the worst losses in the House since Watergate and lost several gubernatorial seats and legislative seats down ballot. His approval at that time was 10 points higher than it is right now. I imagine the way Iran has been handled is a contributing factor to this.

A total of 30% of Americans say they approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 66% say they disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. In May, 31% of Americans approved of the way Trump was handling his job and 64% disapproved.

In June 2018, 40% approved of the way Trump was handling his job as president and 54% disapproved.

Why does "Trump's" approval rating matter at this point?

How many people actually base their votes in the mid terms on the President's approval ratings?

I dunno.

Maybe there are a significant number who do.

******* idiotic though, isn't it?

Its not just about Trump's approval, everyone hates the democrats...

Why would Trump's approval rating impact who I am voting for Congress? He is not running this fall.

Only TDS-affected individuals would give a shit and they will vote for a Democrat or not at all. I will vote Republican because those are the only people with a brain in their head. We will continue to have a Republican Congressional delegation, a Republican Governor (again) and get rid of the only Democrat in the state, and there is nothing you can do about it!

You know a certain percentage of those people who disapprove of Trump actually wish we would blow the **** out of Iran at the earliest opportunity. I don't think they would ever vote for a Communist Democrat.

President Trump isnt running for another term so his approval ratings are mute. Just today my gas price was 3.42 a gallon, which means it is coming down. The more the economy recovers this summer the more people are going to approve of the President.

Dang! Why is it so high?

So basically the same they said it was the day he won reelection.

I don't put any credence into polling.

Yep.

Polling is just a way for politicians to control what people think.

A poll is a carefully crafted question that has been researched to yield the desired result.

 

[Montrovant]

For those of you asking why Trump's approval rating matters, are you being serious? Presidential approval has been looked at as an indicator of midterm results for a long time now. I find it hard to believe so many of you could have missed that in previous midterm elections.

It's not a certain, causal determining factor, but there has been correlation between presidential approval and midterm results over time.

Midterm Seat Loss Averages 37 for Unpopular Presidents

The president's party has lost an average 37 U.S. House seats in midterm elections when presidential job approval was below 50%.

Is a President’s Approval Rating Predictive of Midterm...

Executive summary Presidential approval near midterms is a strong, historically consistent predictor of the net House-seat performance for the president’...

factually.co

Keep in mind that some midterm candidates will be either endorsed by presidents or try to tie themselves to a president's performance/policies, which could make how the public feels about the president a particularly strong indicator for those candidates.

While Trump having a low approval rating is no guarantee of big Congressional losses for Republicans in the midterms, it's not a great indicator.

 

[StrongAF_2026]

Trumps approval rating was low before he won the presidency by a freakin LANDSLIDE !
Approval ratings mean NOTHING.

They are all pointing out the same pattern.

No, they are not serious. They know their party is in trouble and they're operating as programmed.

It completely does not matter. No MAGA should be concerned. All is well.

Were Democrats Always This Dumb?​

It’s a rhetorical question, but it’s one worth asking: Were Democrats always like this? Did they always hate the country? Did they always side with our enemies if they didn’t like the President? Did they always choose abusers of women if they voted in the right way? Were they always willing to overlook anything, no matter how horrendous, if it was done by someone on their team? Ultimately, the real question is whether or not Democrats were always this dumb?


I’m not talking dumb, as is a stupid person, no. Kamala Harris is a stupid person, educated well beyond her intelligence, famous for tossing word salads full of empty calories and meaningless platitudes. Just this week, the former Vice President told fellow moron Don Lemon, “I really, truly believe this. We each have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves. And when we feel that and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead light, let that light kind of carry us in particular through moments of darkness, that that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other. And in particular, at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb.”

Kamala Harris was chosen to be Joe Biden’s running mate because she, like a short person hanging out with midgets to seem taller, was one of the few people on the planet who could make Joe Biden seem smarter than he was.

Harris, however, was more the norm than an outlier.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) — South Park’s Mr. Mackey, came to life — tried to make a point about Elon Musk’s wealth to try to sound smart, and ended up giving a lesson in economics that someone who drank lead paint as a child would come up with. Schiff’s idea? Seize Musk’s stocks and “spread the wealth around” to everyone.

Its not just about Trump's approval, everyone hates the democrats...

The Democratic Party had low approval ratings in 2018, too. And they still picked up 40 House seats, einstein.

Now, Trump's approval rating is even worse. If it wasn't for the racist gerrymandering in the South, the MAGA Cuck Party would lose a lot more than 40 House seats in November.

You're not very bright.

Democrats are really struggling.

Trump is not being elected.

Democrats poll ratings are in the sewer where their rats live.

It's not like the Democrats have anything better.

Indeed. No MAGA should be concerned.
