Senior data anallyst says the numbers have shwon no sign of recovery over several months.
By comparison Friederich Merz, the German Chancellor, has a 13% approval rating. Emanuel Macron, the French President, has an approval rating of 18%
Meanwhile Trump never went under 35%.
I think that’s almost an inevitable mathematical difference between a two party system and multi party systems with n > 2.
The hardened center of a party won’t abandon their guy at the head of the executive, so they form the floor for the approval rating. In a party ostensibly representing half the people, that hardened center will be large, and is apparently 35% large for the Republicans.
In comparison France has 8 relevant parties, Germany has 6 relevant parties (or 5 if we combine the Union, which is mostly just separated into Bayern/not-Bayern but otherwise the same). So their hardened centers will also be much smaller.
I don’t really have much hope for the US system, this concentration of power with constant internal stalemating will eventually kill them. But the incumbent parties don’t want to change the voting system. So there is no way out.
But Europe still has thinking people. The US only has fanatic fan bases.
I don’t even understand how it’s non-zero.
Oh, it’s the racism, sexism, xenophobia and of course the current Faux fave: transphobia. That’s about the only thing sustaining his numbers.
Hate and distraction
It also means that his base - about 1/3rd of the proof - will never abandon him.
That sounds right. There’s a chunk of the population that just have broken brains and souls. They’ll follow their king to the grave.
how’s about we collectively fuck off with approval ratings until there are actual consequences for his actions?
Yet I still drive by a shipping container sized poster of that stupid ‘someone shot at me’ photo op pic regularly
Paywalled, maybe I’m wrong. But no, it’s not stuck on empty. It’s stuck at 35%, pretty much the exact same as Biden during his term, and Trump during his first term. Approval ratings seem increasingly useless.
Hmm I think I’ve heard bad polling for Trump before
But if you just dismantle democracy you don’t need the people’s support. And that project is well underway.
We could have had our first woman president, but no…
If he holds on to power past January 2029, he won’t need anyone’s approval to do it.
Not really relevant, polling anyways. Not like he’s up for election and pretending he gave a shit about anyone other than himself, well youre probably part of the problem if youve have given that narrative any wind.
What does he care? He’s got what he needed.
I’ll believe it more when i start seeing people’s garish trump signs come down.
Where are you? I don’t see any up, but I haven’t in a while. We had a neighbor that flew a stupid donnie flag, but that came down sometime last year.
No worries, shithead will replace shitforbrains on the next election as predicted by shitforbrains.
