‘He’s underwater on everything:’ Fox News host breaks down Trump approval polling
The president’s approval rating has been struggling for at least a month
Summary
A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump's declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.
Trump is "underwater on everything" including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.
The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.
Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as "paid actors."
People when the world's most illiterate celebrity does all of the dumb, racist shit he says he is going to do:
His next plan will be to start a war

How long before Trump wants her fired?
Well, a month ago a majority still approved... so I guess it's a tiny minuscule progress? One eaten face at a time?
For a fascist disapproval of a slim majority definitely isn't "underwater" just a "minor inconvenience".
'He's underwater on everything' - except the one way that matters the most.
I’ll take “Things you can’t say on Reddit” for 200
But seriously, even if he was sleeping with the fish the r’s are still a huge a problem. He’s just the front guy, he’ll be replaced with another clown.
Sadly, yes. I mean, Trump knows he's 'close' to his grave and needs to leave some kind of legacy - even if it's the Hitler kind of one - his narcissistic self just wants to enter them history books as one of the big humans instead of 'another rich guy' as a footnote.
Pretty sure either Elon or Vance are already lined up for when the time comes. When Trump leaves the world, and when there's no longer actual rules preventing them from taking over and 'fixing' under martial law what big bad orange wrecked. At least according to them, that is.
No matter how bad what they're doing seems this is just the preparation stage. Things can become so, so much worse, and the more we let them consolidate power the tougher it'll be to fight it later.
His nose is still above water?
Entire head I'd say.

SOROOOOOOOOS!
shakes tiny fist
On the one hand, I support a politician who does the right things despite public opinion. Fuck approval ratings. On the other hand, how can a single person be wrong about fucking everything? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
He stopped penny minting. I'm sure he accidentally did one other good thing for the adage to be true
I mean depends on how you look at it. In many ways, the world NEEDS to get off it's dollar addiction. Having a hegemonic currency isn't great for humanity as a whole. And Trump is doing the very best I've ever seen at helping the world cure itself of this problem. Not great for USA, but an important step for how geopolitics will work moving forward. Unless you meant doing everything wrong for Americans, then yes, Trump is awful.
This is one of my favorite comments ever, I've been saying this for years, the strong dollar economics was the best deal ever for us, and we are throwing it away. The rest of the world will be fine without us.
There's a difference between being a populist and actually representing your constituents, which is after all the job they're paid to do.
Not if it's digital.
"What Fox just reported is illegal."
-- DJTWhat's absolutely crazy is he just signed an EO to get rid of USAGM...
For those who don't know, that's basically the propaganda arm of the US government and has been for a very long time.
This is probably the most surprising thing so far for me, I really thought he'd expand that to do more work domestically to counteract all the bad press and approval loss his actions are resulting in.
Like, I get why Putin doesn't want the rest of the world to like us, but it's just crazy they're getting rid of USAGM instead of just changing the propaganda it spreads.
Actually kind of relieved to see it shut down, this is a weird morning.
he's very dumb
Genuinely, though, it is hard to gauge at times which actions are:
- Genuinely malicious plans to increase his and his cronies' wealth
- Confused, because Elon or Trump were in a specific mood that particular day
- Some actor behind the scenes manipulating them by taking advantage of their impulsivity
- The genuine incompetence of the newly appointed loyalists (or the algorithms/AI they use) within the new deep state
- Genuinely ideologically motivated stupidity, from Libertarians that drank their own cool-aid within the administration.
It is genuine chaos. But overall, the effects are pretty disastrous, no matter what exactly causes which actions.
Sounds like Elon is eliminating competition to his propaganda machine.
Is it crazy when they can just use companies like TruthSocial and Twitter?
I see your point, and assume the logic (if there is any) is: Why bother when Fox and Newsmax do it for profit?
Get rid of all branches and implement your own with your own swamp creatures.
I'm looking at Trump as a Russian agent who was assigned to dismantle the US government. Everything he does makes sense when you look at it that way. And it's horrifying.
declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance
Another Quinnipiac poll from last month determined 45 percent approved of Trump’s performance and 49 percent disapproved.
So half of the people still approve of what he's doing? How does such a small percentage even justify a news article with such a ridiculous headline? The US are so cooked it's not even funny. Wake me when it's at 90% disapproval.
I've never heard of that polling agency in my life before. I had to look it up, it's a private university in Connecticut.
I sure didn't get polled about any of this.
So no, more precisely, half of all people polled by this one school in a state that nobody talks about approve of what he's doing. I'm willing to bet half of those people have no idea what's going on.
I have a very hard time believing that half of all Americans are happy and content with current events. I live here, I hear people complain.
What stands out to me is that they are making a big deal out if a small change...to a Republican approval rating. This is exactly the type of data they'd be holding up while screaming about how bad Obama is, for instance. Did feel odd using the tactic against their own, let alone god emperor Cheeto.
They're probably trying to take control of the party back from Trump. They did push back against him during his first term, but fell flat on their faces and started losing viewers to Newsmax. Now they're trying to back it with data. They've spent the last few decades training their viewers to ignore data, though, so we'll see how that goes.
I would assume most people don't pay particular attention until they are directly affected. Apathy across the West is a major problem.
Jokes on them, he's not doing this for the American people.
“I already got your votes. Fuck you.”

I wonder why he is doing just like he said he would.
You know what would be dope tho is if he were underwater in a swasticar.
wake me up when it's the 100% it should be
Rip
Poor polling only matters if there'll be elections.
Eventually, it will get bad enough that it matters regardless.
Especially in a country as heavily armed as the US.
"The president’s approval rating has been struggling for at least a month"
He's only been in office 53 days... so struggling 56.6% of the time... at least.
I'm very sorry to hear this. In the past, the thing that a poor leader could do to remain in power was to start a war. Then the leader could spout all the "don't change horses midstream" rhetoric to remain in power rather than being replaced. The only thing that will stave off war would be his incredible narcissism and refusal to believe "fake" polls. Once he's convinced, however... who's the lucky recipient of an invasion?
Oh, he's been wanting to start a war regardless. The only question is, who is he going after first - Panama, Denmark, or Canada?
Good
That leave - at least - 47% of nazis in the USA. Already too much, this country needs to be wipe out, with the exception of the First Nations, the real people to whom this territory belongs.
