Note: Trump’s job approval is not steady and is constantly changing. For example roughly 3 weeks ago his approval was at 44% according to gallup but the latest Washington Post survey has him at 39%. Chances are high that by the this is posted, his approval rating has changed again.

All I can say, and it’s just anecdotal, is that the loudest mouths for Trump I saw on social media are suddenly silent.
Not the professionals, of course. They’ll ride this plane all the way into the side of the mountain. The regular folks. The ones who get up and go to work every morning.
They’re watching prices climb and that’s precisely why they voted for Trump.
He promised a return to 2016 prices. We tried to explain that if Jesus himself became president, prices were never going back to pre-pandemic levels, but he snowed them.
They’re mighty quiet these days.

I want to meet with the 4% of Democrats who approve. I have so, so many questions.

I feel like red and blue are questionable color choices due to their strong association with the parties.

The college educated white population’s lack of movement is interesting. Why is that group, who you might expect to be more informed showing the least amount of reaction to events.

He’ll always have a built in 38% that always approves of him no matter what. That’s what happens when a network fellates him 24/7.

White college graduates are apparently the most stubborn people on the planet if their opinions about Trump haven’t changed at all since the election.

What was it prior to the election “polls”, they always are dead wrong.

Call me crazy but this doesn’t show a drop in popularity as the voting population isn’t the same as the total us population the poll is trying to represent (other than the “voted for” category)
Edit: I do believe his popularity has gone down, just that this chart isn’t comparing the same two populations

How do you know who voted for who? Is it public data in usa?
ParkingCan5397 on
Interesting to see that the more educated and the less privileged you are the less you support Trump lol

Are these two data points even comparable?

I know 2% is basically noice but who the fuck voted for Harris but thinks this shit show has been good

Important to keep in mind the “lesser of two evil” voters who may have voted for Trump, but would have “disapproved” of him before the election (just less so than Harris). This is especially true among white Evengelical voters.

Seen from outside, that 46 starting point for Hispanic population is absolutely mental.
superspicycurry37 on
I’m more shocked that his Hispanic support was that high to begin with
Fornico on
That last line says it all. People who voted for Trump still support Trump.
Until that voter group changes their minds, no amount of poll results is going to change anything.

This is an abstract. It’ll shoot back up as soon as you tell them the alternative is to vote for a Democrat. The election wasn’t “who do you approve of” it was “of these two, which would you rather have as president”.

None of this matters.
He got elected.
He will never face any consequences.
He will be wealthier than ever.

I’d be really interested to see this as compared to Biden’s first 100 days. Most presidents have a post-inauguration approval drop, but Biden passed a COVID Stimulus that was very popular with his voters.
NotSoSpeedRuns on
Maintaining near 90% approval with his own voters feels like the real takeaway here. It doesn’t matter how much he fucks things up, his base will still vote for him. The Dem strategy of trying to peel those voters away is pointless. They need to turn out their own base, and the non-voters who disapprove of Trump.
Deep_Contribution552 on
His favorables lagged his voting total already (partisan politics at work, I guess)- can only hope more people are paying attention now, even if they are late to the ~~party~~ debacle.

None of this approval crap matters if people are lazy asses that don’t vote that gives Republicans wins after wins.

“White, no college” is entering the FO portion of the proceedings and reacting accordingly.
It’s almost like education is the secret sauce here.

None of this should be surprising.
But ‘Voted for Harris’ gained 2%. Lol how

For a comparison, I grabbed the pew polling from Biden’s election in 2020 and the numbers around his 100 day mark (April 15th).

Now this is beautiful data.
The bottom left where 2% of people who voted for Harris now approve of Trump is the most interesting one to me. Wonder what’s going on in their heads.
White no college down from 66 to 51 is huge.
Kicks the “Gen Z Is Lost” trope to the curb, and simultaneously highlights the Gen X Trump-Bump.
Really nicely illustrated.
Alternative title “Trump maintains democrat and liberal approval levels”.

His voters disapprove of him because he’s doing the things he promised to do if they voted for him.
Remarkably, he does well with democrats and Harris voters.
