Donald Trump’s approval just sank to an abysmal 33-66 in the new Washington Post poll, a record low in Post polling. The survey also finds Democrats leading in the battle for the House by eight points. Meanwhile, the new NBC poll also finds Trump below 35 percent and puts the Democratic lead at 10 points. The polling averages also suggest a Democratic lead pressing double digits. Small wonder that Republicans are leaking to Politico that they blame this debacle squarely on Trump. They describe a situation o…

    It doesn’t matter. His people have already figured out how to fix the midterms.

    America is a criminal enterprise, full stop.

    1/3 of the country will either blindly support Trump or the broader Republican Party. Because of a confluence of a lack of mandatory voting; first past the post voting; and the electoral college, 1/3 of eligible voters often decide the outcome of elections. This isn’t so much Trump being DEMOLISHED and EVISCERATED as it is a warning to the rest of the country: show up and vote or they’ll still win, even when Trump is this unpopular. Show up again in 2028. Show up to the primaries.

    If your vote literally was meaningless, billionaires wouldn’t spend crazy amounts of money on elections; they’d consider that wasted money which is anathema to their existence.

    He’s at the Sarah Palin floor.

    About 1 in 3 Americans seem to have a brain worm. I know, I know, a whole lot of extremely online “leftists” and reactionary centrists are quick to say no one should blame the voters and the Democratic Party is the source of all problems in the world, but…sheesh.

    This guy basically lit fire to everything, including the economy, and 1 in 3 still support him.

      Go watch some of The Good Liars’ videos from Trump rallies. Like, recent ones. It’s fascinating to see the brain rot.

      I keep bringing this up to people IRL too. I legitimately just do not understand how this is the case. Everyone says it’ll keep dropping, but it just hasn’t. It’s terrifying to know that 1/3 people in the US think like this. I know due to population distribution it’s not exactly like this, but imagine if every third person you interacted with in your daily life still supported this. 3 tellers at the bank? One of them is a rabid supporter of a rapist and felon, have fun! How do we even function as a country? There is something deeply wrong with these people and I don’t even know where to start. I have gone no contact with a few trumpers in the family and they weren’t good people to start with necessarily, but they were contributing members of society. The longer it went on the more angry and entrenched they became. I wonder if they started like this or there’s an element of digging in their heels that has made them unable to believe their lying eyes and ears.

        That third doesn’t trust the same news sources that you do; many don’t do anything political at all, and just vote by party.

        The other third is politically educated, they just disagree with the Democratic party on key issues (like for one example abortion).

        Democrats are only a third (28% or so) of voters and shrinking (same with Republican party, 28%).

        44% of voters are independent. I know it doesn’t seem so on Lemmy, but the real world is a very different place. Why, they didn’t even cheer when Charlie Kirk was assassinated! Unbelievable!

          Eh, that 44% number is probably something that nearly evaporates if you were to actually dig deeper on these so-called “independents”.

    not sure what could be more humiliating than his absolutely unhinged and utterly amoral antics on lake michigan, but sure… i’m sure gop leaks will shame him.
