The new poll, from American Research Group, conducted September 16-20 among 1,100 American adults, showed the president with a 29 percent overall approval rating, with positive views on the economy at 26 percent.

Overall, 72 percent of those surveyed said they felt the U.S. economy was getting worse amid rising gas and grocery prices despite the Trump administration’s insistence that those pressures are still largely down to the previous administration.

    Great! I hope it goes lower but also i hope people don’t take these numbers as evidence they don’t need to show up to vote. All the articles about a ‘blue wave’ make me bullish but also worried that people will check out – but maybe I am being paranoid.

      Nah, he’s far too diminished and unpopular with the base for the Republican party to bother taking a shot at a third term with him. They’ll dump him after the mid terms (they’re already starting), and capitalise on the fact that 90% of the Democrat’s platform has been opposition to Donald Trump specifically, and with him gone, they basically don’t have any message left.

      That’s sorta what I think most of it is. The prices are bad but overall pretty minor compared to so many other things.

      I would pay $10 per gallon if ICE would go the fuck home and the detainees be released.

      Gas prices and grocery prices are the things that drill right down to those who say “I dont care about politics” and force them to pay attention.

        this seems more like it’s the hardcore fascists getting to see some real consequences unpon themselves.

        at least in my country it perfectly matches the 25-30% of people who could gleefully watch their favored neonazi ghoul fuck everyone else as long as it’s not them.

      I was on another site.

      Mentioned that trickle down had never worked.

      MAGA said it had been a great success.

      I asked why we were $40 trillion on debt if the cuts had succeeded?

      Because of government spending!!

      Like the War On Terror?

      No response.

    In the end this doesn’t matter at all because the Democratic Party still has the establishment leading it so the only thing that will happen is that the Democrats get their turn at ruining the world again.

    I am surprised there is any wiggle room left. 30% is kind of his floor, which buttresses my long-standing belief that 30% of American population are clinically stupid.

      30% was his floor, if this poll is to be believed. Breaking through it is what makes it significant!

      If it’s to be believed.

      1/3 of us will do nothing but sit and watch and 1/3 kills the remaining 1/3.

      – Unknown

      it’s probably the lowest it can get.
