Trump's approval rating slips as Americans worry about the economy
TL;DR: approval down 1% from 45% to 44% over 6 days. Was at 47% on Jan 20. Disapproval up to 51% from 41% though since January.
It's insane to see his approval rating is actually relatively stable. The people supporting this guy are grade A morons.

In fairness, its only been 30 days since the inauguration, and even though trumps/Musk power grab are batshit insane, many cases illegal, and many unconstitutional, to the average citizen their life hasn't changed yet. Unless people seek out news and think critically about its implications, they see the lights still come on, there's still food at the grocery store, gas at the gas pump, and their kids seem the same. They simply aren't engaged.
Unfortunately by the time these folks finally notice something's wrong, many MANY things will be already set in motion with massive future short term and long term consequences.
They're not necessarily dumb but they are one track minded. Democrats focus on a wide net approach to governing, voting to help the most people even if it means you personally don't benefit directly from policies. Takes years for social nets to build up and benefit you/the masses. Republicans won't vote for you if they don't directly benefit immediately. That sort of government is short sighted and not concerned with consequences later.
Okay maybe some are really dumb, I'm in the doctors office waiting right now and I'm overhearing a couple talking about trumps tariffs on chips and they think it's about potato chips. Like actually.
Reason why fuck Americans is valid thing to say. He got voted in because most Americans wanted him or were apathetic about him. Americans made this possible. It's not a small number that is in support.
This country is full of fucking idiots.
44% too high.
44% is wild.
An 51% disapproval too fucking low.
First of all, that's within the margin of error, so the headline is pure clickbait copium.
Second, it'll take some time for the effects to be reflected in the economy, even with tariffs. Give it time; it will drop further once it impacts people directly.
His approval should be near-zero, but we have a whole lotta idiots schooled in the way the qons wanted them to be schooled.
21 percent are illiterate, 54 percent have a literacy below 6th grade level.
Holy balls. I used to be an instructor in the career retraining field, so I believed your numbers. Trust, but verify: https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literacy-statistics-2024-2025-where-we-are-now

Nuh uh Fox News says everything is fine.
Thank billionaire owned media companies for this one. They've been waging a class war for decades with no push-back under our noses.
They voted the Nazi in for the egg prices, and are pissed he did not deliver while he tears down the country.
Ah yes. As an uhmerican, my primary concern is 'the economy', and not the loss of my entire political structure, climate, and rights.
Anyone else sick of this out of touch bullshit?
1% change in a week.
Anyone that does surveying for a living knows that this is basically flat. These surveys have a margin of error far greater than 1%.
It's a fabrication to push back against their fabrications!
But he was gonna lower egg prices! 🙄
The honeymoon period is slowly coming to an end. We're just about to reach the bleary eyed, "what the fuck did I just do?" period.
Maybe for some of them. For a lot of the hard core ones, they are here for the very stupidest of things, even if they are driven into poverty.
"That'll show those [DEI]s!" - yelling from the tent they are forced to move into.
Yeah, the delusion is only growing. I saw a woman involved in a state Republican Party post that she “saw through Newsmax’s liberal bullshit” and that while her husband still likes them she “knew the truth”.
We’ve far surpassed dangerous levels of delusion.
How is his approval rating not in the negative?
Oh no, the economy!
At least the government isn't being decimated by having anything that Musk doesn't like destroyed while also randomly firing essential people. The economy is the important thing!
