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!

It's cute there are people that think polls matter to a wannabe dictator and fascist party.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 2 points 4 hours ago

Seriously. Why would he give a shit?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 8 points 13 hours ago

Well I disapprove of this fat orange cunt 100%.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

And yet somehow the Republicans will win a sketchy number of seats at the midterms and nothing will ever come of it.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

Elmo’s gift to get back in Dumps good graces.

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 11 points 19 hours ago

does not matter. the ppl in the usa are still there and the suck.

[–] manxu@piefed.social 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Forty percent of voters have a favorable opinion of President Trump, while 53 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 4 percent haven't heard enough about him.

WHO are these people that haven't heard enough about him? And WHY isn't there "I have heard way too much about him" option in the poll?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

They're embarrassed Republicans who refuse to admit to themselves how big of a fuck up it was to vote for Trump

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 21 hours ago

That accounts for 10% of them.

30% of humanity just doesn't count as sentient.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

All these polls are done by phone so it's all seniors.

[–] Mad__vegan@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Just got a call on Wednesday and completed it. Took 5 minutes. I'm 38. Dont be afraid to pick up unknown numbers that aren't auto marked as spam

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

Abso-fucking-lutely fucking not.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 98 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It dropped 3 percent to 38.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s 74 points too high.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago
[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Which is still a big deal.

Like abhorrent it's that high. But I remember people swearing 40% was the floor and due to the cult it could never go lower.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The historical benchmark I use is this: Nixon was at 31% when he resigned. I think GWB also hit a similar number, but he never was facing articles of impeachment.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago

I’m seeing 24. I mean Trumps last presidency he left at 34 percent so he’s still up from before sadly.

Cults break down, a good example is something like Sinnanon where up until the authoritarian tendencies kicked in it managed to maintain a pretty decent size. Then they went full authoritarian and the cult started to bleed numbers.

Personally my bet is that Trump can go as low as 20 percent approval, though it'll require some specialized circumstances or shit just getting worse all around.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Republican congressthings clearly have the same data on their internal polls, which is why they felt it safe to kill the dumpster-fire bill Trump tried to ram through.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 62 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It’s quickly becoming irrelevant. I mean what are you gonna do, vote him out?

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

It is relevant. Congress is mostly going along with him because they are afraid of being primaried. If he dips much lower we might suddenly see unexpected people speaking truth to power.

[–] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

On a totally unrelated note, I'm pretty sure he's going to a theatre to see a play at some point soon. Maybe tonight? I don't think it's a comedy, but there's an opportunity for somebody to do the funniest thing possible. Double funny if their name is Mario.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Maybe someone should write a play that is all about Christopher Columbus and Confederate generals who go hunting for fun at Maralago. Like a reverse Most Dangerous Game. Start a rumor that there's a nude scene of Ivanka Trump.

He will 100% go to that

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Did she find where the penis normally is? Was there a penis there? A very very microscopic one?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

It was irrelevant November 6th, 2024

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That's a no. He will leave power in a bag. Then it won't be Sofa Boy, our next king will be Junior.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

Sorry, but… why link mediaite instead of the original source?

https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3924

It’s title/writing is more grounded, and it’s the source of the poll.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Is this when Schumer springs into action? Or is he waiting for 25, 20% now?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Now it's the time where he pushes up his glasses and gets serious. He'll write a strongly worded letter.

Maybe he can write one to his Representative!

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bolding words in the memos, maybe some capital letters 😯

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Woah, woah hold up there! Let’s not get medieval!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He'll use ALL CAPS for EMPHASIS

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

He pre-dates ALL CAPS. For him, that means it’s a new paragraph in a legal document or he forgot to turn off caps lock.

He’ll underline it instead.

[–] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

He doesnt know yet. He has to ask Netanyahu

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He will express moderate concern.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And have an intern post something utterly tone-deaf on BlueSky.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This is where he goes “see! Now we wait till the midterms before attempting anything “

Spineless fucks

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Schumer can’t do shit. This is on us, the commoners, to address.

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Quinnipiac

Usually one of Mafia Don "TACO" Mangolini's "better" performing polls... If "better" means "favorable".

😂 🤣 🤡 🖕 💩

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

But his disapproval rating is thru the roof! No, really he tossed the rating up there when he saw it. Yeah, it doesn't weight that much. Like a kid could through it higher.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"I'm the most bigly popular King! Frankly, many people are saying I'm the greatest man who ever lived. And my parade will have YUGE ratings! Better than Barack Hussein's boring, very low energy speeches! Many men, many big tough men have said to me, with literal tears, they say 'Sir, Sir, please spend more of our money on bigly parades and tax cuts for billionaires, who are just born better than we are!' No one honors Trump like Trump, believe me."

[–] dinren@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

Well, no one stops him so he must not be that unpopular.

(Unfortunately)
