Summary
Trump’s approval rating dropped to 43%, the lowest since his January return to office, amid backlash over new tariffs and a mishandled military strike disclosure.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 37% approve of his economic leadership, and 34% support his foreign policy.
A majority view his tariff hikes as harmful, while 74% criticized the use of Signal to discuss a Yemen operation.
The poll, conducted online with 1,486 adults, showed bipartisan concern and a 2-point decline since March, reflecting rising unease over Trump’s policies.
Too damn high.
How in the name of all that is holy can Krasnov have as high as 43% approval?
So many unreachable people in this country. 43%? How the fuck could it be above 10% is the mystery.
And 37% still approve of his “economic leadership”? WTAF?

“You know, I saw MadMax back in the day and it seemed like the lads were having a lot of fun.”
Edit: Since this is not a meme sub: You know as well as I do that this many people genuinely believe Trump when he says this is somehow good for the US. The quote I’ve commonly read in connection with this is “finally the other countries will be paying their fair share!”.
They do not understand and the understanding they have has been formed with propaganda for decades.
American politics has been so far from it’s idealistic roots in democracy and supplanted by the wealthy for decades if not a century or longer. Allowing businesses to fund campaigns openly in the 70s has to have been a big tipping point and why we have allowed it is bizarre to me. We have basically no media today that isn’t highly politicized one way or another. Bezos has altered his media to fit whatever party furthers it’s business goals… like most oligarch owned businesses following suit whether or not they are media.
I don’t think things can be changed anymore though. I think pandora’s box opened at some point and it can’t be shut again without tearing civilization down.
Don’t about things you can’t change. Like who is the president. You don’t actually vote for a president, the electoral college electors do. You literally vote to suggests to these random fellers who to vote for. Then, they vote for whoever the fuck gave them the new shiny car.
Our election process sucks, but it’s not because of faithless electors. The vast majority of times it was because the candidate died before the election.
Since 1900, there have been only 16 faithless electors who defected for individual reasons
How about your vote is worth 1/56th or something like that in comparison to my vote just because you live in the wrong state. Or how about you are the one gay guy in a straight community so your vote on any gay related agenda means nothing. How about that?
…yea that sucks. Like I said, our election system sucks. All I pointed out is your assertion that electors are getting new cars in order to vote against the wishes of their state isn’t really a thing.
I’m pretty sure the lowest it could go is around 35% that’s when you get to the lizard alien people who think they are sending kids to mars to harvest adrenochrome out of them.
Anyone else concerned that a felon rapist who is crashing our economy still has a 43% approval rating?
That 43% is wannabe felon rapists who wish they could crash the economy.
… I can’t believe 43% support shithead.
i cant believe the other 57% are so useless. screw them. cant even get a majority or dont even vote. americans are pathetic. democratic party is a joke. i can easily believe 43% are with shithead. where should they have learned any better? may nancy pelosi keep inside trading, chuck schumer lie about gaza… just shit people everywhere.
After today’s market reaction, that’s gonna drop even further…
Maybe it will plummet in a free fall nosedive to a staggering 42.5%
Down 4% today so far. Retirement fantasies evaporating. Probably good news for 20 somethings, they can buy more and if they survive the climate change famines, water wars, genocides, and non-renewable resource shortages, those shares will probably be worth a lot.
USA has a lot more crazy people than I ever suspected.
This lack of realization when faced with reality is way beyond any worst case scenario I ever imagined.
I thought most of the people who voted for him, simply didn’t believe the warnings. Turns out they actually support that shit?!?!You can thank the poisons of religion. They care about dying and going off elsewhere than EVERYTHING on Earth.
I think the gutting of school funding, and the adoption of an idiotic non phonics based reading curriculum that was sold basically by some grifter over the last few decades is more to blame. Also Bush’s
no child left behindPass All the The Failing Kids Anyway plan.That’s why I’m not just an atheist but an anti-theist.
I feel like I looped basically all the way around on that. Went from religion bad, to religion should be a personal thing and anyone can believe what they want, to actually no religion is behind so many harms that I don’t think that I can support any of it.
They never face reality, we allowed malignant propoganda to spread and take over a huge chunk of our media presenting a false reality to many who don’t have the media (or functional) literacy to understand when they’re being manipulated. Half of Americans have a functional literacy below a 6th grade level - they can read the words, but the full nuanced understanding is beyond them.
Half of Americans have a functional literacy below a 6th grade level
Is this factual? Because if that’s true, that’s extremely bad, even shameful for a rich country like USA.
Yes, that is factual. There’s a reason newspapers are written to a 4-5th grade level, because adults need it like that.
Well unless I’m reading this wrong, it seems USA is doing pretty well compared to other OECD countries (age 15):
https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d19/tables/dt19_602.50.aspI’m not sure what these numbers are measuring, but it looks like less than 85% of schools in the US reported their data, could be a sampling bias there. Also, this is maybe at age 15, when many of the worst readers have already dropped out of school.
It looks like most countries have shitty literary levels, then. I was unaware other countries were just as bad. A quick Google showed a few results not quite in agreement saying the average for adults was 7th-8th grade in the US, or that half were below 6th.
Lowest… so far…
43% of responders are idiots
Bush II had an approval rating around 25-30% at the end of his time in office. Consider that the bottom for how many people will still support a complete and obvious failure.
IIRC, that was about the same numbers as when Nixon got on the helicopter to fly away after resigning in disgrace. There are qons that treat their party the same way they treat their favorite sportsball team.
It doesn’t matter what “their guy” does, they are with them. Seriously, donvict could be caught throwing lit puppies into traffic and he’d probably still have 25-30% with him. That’s probably about the only truth donvict ever said when he talked about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
I don’t think we can trust the polls since there’s no free press in USA anymore so as far as I’m concerned it’s US government regime propaganda.
The free press is alive and well, for now at least. Don’t be hyperbolic.
Especially polls with less than 1,500 people surveyed
1500 is enough if the survey is properly randomized. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s true. You only need about 1000. Math is wild.
https://www.cloudresearch.com/resources/guides/statistical-significance/determine-sample-size/
the randomization is the hard part though.
…conducted online.
How many of those people are American? Or people, for that matter?
Higher than biden’s average. Yes, you should be alarmed
This is an budding authoritarian government where the polls don’t matter.
OK ONLY 13% MORE AND SCHUMER CAN ENACT THE MASTER PLAN!!!
