Trump’s approval rating plummets to record second term low, new poll says

Gaza, Jeffrey Epstein and National Guard occupation of Washington D.C. all fuel drop in Trump’s support with Republicans

PRESIDENT TRUMP

 Thirty-seven percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 55 percent disapprove. In Quinnipiac University's July 16 poll, 40 percent of voters approved and 54 percent disapproved.  

 In today's poll, Republicans (84 - 9 percent) approve, while Democrats (98 - 1 percent) and independents (58 - 31 percent) disapprove.  

 Voters were asked about Trump's handling of six issues...

  • crime: 42 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;  
  • talks to end the war between Russia and Ukraine: 40 percent approve, while 52 percent disapprove, with 7 percent not offering an opinion;
  • foreign policy: 40 percent approve, while 56 percent disapprove, with 5 percent not offering an opinion;
  • the economy: 39 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
  • trade: 38 percent approve, while 56 percent disapprove, with 5 percent not offering an opinion;
  • the Israel - Hamas conflict: 34 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove, with 12 percent not offering an opinion.

And they don't even mention the  firing of a Fed official or the JFK Jr. anti-vaccination, anti-science scandal, which maybe was too recent.

Regardless, it's funny how they use the word PLUMMET from a slight negative/downward change.  Regardless, it's going in the wrong direction but it's nearly impossible to change the opinion of most of the R base known as the MAGA cult.

Thanks, cutworm!


Actually, the reason Trump is so popular is that MAGA is a cult and they all have TAS. Trump Adoration Syndrome.

When Trump misbehaves, lies or passes horrible agenda and he gets justifiably criticized by his adversaries as well as by clear thinking, objective people, MAGA circles the Trump wagon and defends him. No matter what he did, how bad it was or how guilty he is when Trump does something that deserves criticism, MAGA instead of seeing the blatant facts/evidence will completely ignore all that. Instead rallying behind their cult leader like a good cult does.

Calling Trump out for bad behavior or criticizing him causes his ratings with MAGA and Rs to go up.

Even when Trump calls his base/MAGA names
