TL;DR: approval down 1% from 45% to 44% over 6 days. Was at 47% on Jan 20. Disapproval up to 51% from 41% though since January.

44% is wild.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

An 51% disapproval too fucking low.

[-] xyzzy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

First of all, that's within the margin of error, so the headline is pure clickbait copium.

Second, it'll take some time for the effects to be reflected in the economy, even with tariffs. Give it time; it will drop further once it impacts people directly.

His approval should be near-zero, but we have a whole lotta idiots schooled in the way the qons wanted them to be schooled.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

21 percent are illiterate, 54 percent have a literacy below 6th grade level.

[-] Hackworth@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

What I'll never fully understand are the ostensibly capable knowledge workers that believe the shit Trump says. Our web admin hurts my heart. "Dude, I know you know how to fact check." In their case, it's just Christianity.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 1 month ago

know how to fact check

Christian

Are you sure tho?

[-] Khlo 8 points 1 month ago

Lol I made a comment to another engineer at work that was something like "idk how an engineer could ever be religious due to the fact many think logically"

Turns out he was very Christian oops

Come to Utah and meet a vast swath of idiot mormon engineers.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Lmao have made a similar slip before at work

Intelligent people can also be indoctrinated into a cult. Probably only takes a bit longer.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

No, just have to get to them when they're young

[-] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Holy balls. I used to be an instructor in the career retraining field, so I believed your numbers. Trust, but verify: https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literacy-statistics-2024-2025-where-we-are-now

Nuh uh Fox News says everything is fine.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

Thank billionaire owned media companies for this one. They've been waging a class war for decades with no push-back under our noses.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

They voted the Nazi in for the egg prices, and are pissed he did not deliver while he tears down the country.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

1% change in a week.

Anyone that does surveying for a living knows that this is basically flat. These surveys have a margin of error far greater than 1%.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

It's a fabrication to push back against their fabrications!

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

But he was gonna lower egg prices! 🙄

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

The honeymoon period is slowly coming to an end. We're just about to reach the bleary eyed, "what the fuck did I just do?" period.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe for some of them. For a lot of the hard core ones, they are here for the very stupidest of things, even if they are driven into poverty.

"That'll show those [DEI]s!" - yelling from the tent they are forced to move into.

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah, the delusion is only growing. I saw a woman involved in a state Republican Party post that she “saw through Newsmax’s liberal bullshit” and that while her husband still likes them she “knew the truth”.

We’ve far surpassed dangerous levels of delusion.

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

You know what, fuck Americans

[-] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago

American here. Fuck Americans.

[-] avieshek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, Americans don’t deserve fuck… they need to stay virgins. Fuck asian nerds so they don’t build skynet~

Asian Ameican nerd here, too late, have been virgin my entire life and am launching Skynet tomorrow

Hail our AI Overlords! 🤖

fuck Americans

Maybe don't... considering the whole abortion ban thing

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Oh no, the economy!

At least the government isn't being decimated by having anything that Musk doesn't like destroyed while also randomly firing essential people. The economy is the important thing!

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Ah yes. As an uhmerican, my primary concern is 'the economy', and not the loss of my entire political structure, climate, and rights.

Anyone else sick of this out of touch bullshit?

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

How is his approval rating not in the negative?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
