A new poll shows that about 4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a “terrible” leader in his second term.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also found that about 2 in 10 think he has done an average job in his presidency and 3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president.
44% say Trump’s focused on the wrong priorities in the AP-NORC poll, 21% said an even mix and 10% don’t know
44% is not sinking. What has that number moved, 1.3%?
These are the 4 in 10 who didn’t vote then.
How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource? This incontinent incompetent asshole is qualified to sit in a fucking jail cell, that’s it. God this country is stupid…
Like it or not (I don’t) the horrific immigration policies get a lot of support. Other countries are taking notice too.
Germany is considering removing German citizenship to dual passport holders if they are deemed “extremists” (but with no clear definition of what that means and how it would be determined).
Since before Trump 2, Italy has already had its own camp in Albania for immigrants and it’s share of friction with judges who said these deportations were illegal.
Also “let Russia have Ukraine, why do we care” has enjoyed the sort of support people are ashamed to admit but that translates to votes to all the worst politicians.
How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource?
No, but there are millions who basically do not consume news outside of social media. And as you see on social media, people constantly complain about having to see “politics” and many try to block anything regarding that.
I was venting… I work with people who complain that they were inconvenienced by protesters but also wont listen to why they were protesting… I feel tired and old.
Hell it happens here on Lemmy. And tbh I’ve thought about doing it too, shit’s way too depressing right now.
So 44% think he’s doing terribly, 21% are an even mix, 10% don’t know. That’s 75%. One can only assume that the remaining 25% think he’s doing a great job. I also imagine that there is an element of the shy conservative in these responses so the actual figure is probably like 30-40% think he’s doing pretty good.
4 in 10 Americans have an IQ above 12.
Hands down, the worst president, twice.
Only 4-in-10? That’s disappointing
It’s why the US will fail, quickly.
It’s more than the people who voted for him…
6 in ten Americans are complete imbeciles I guess
The world is full of dumb people shocker
“He’s really doing the stuff that he said he was going to do,” Tanner Bergstrom, a 29 year old Republican from Minnesota, told the Associated Press. He added that Trump is “not making a bunch of promises and getting into office and nothing happens. … I really like that. Even if it’s some stuff I don’t agree with, it’s still doing what he said he was going to do.”
He’s a Nazi, but at least he’s an honest Nazi.
I did Nazi that coming.
Honestly, as a sane person yes I do like honest Nazis more than lying Nazis. But do you know what I like more than honest Nazis? People who aren’t a Nazi, I like those way the fuck more than honest Nazis which apparently puts us in the minority in this shit hole of a county
And the other six? racist illiterate scumbags.
Could be a sampling bias. If you take 100 people at random from each state, the results would favor Trump. But 100 people is a larger percentage of red states than it is of blue states.
If you reword it as “4 out of 10 square miles think Trump is a bad president”, it makes more sense, if you compare it to a political alignment map.
No polling institute would make such stupid mistakes
No, but many do so on purpose.
6 out of ten said what? This is fine…?
I misread it as 4/10 say he’s good, and still thought WTF?!
2 in 10: Average 3 in 10: Great
If you all could just try to not take the rest of the planet with you, that’ll be great.
As of 2022 only 38% of the population keep up with current events
Hoe can they? There is little news left. Just propaganda.
By definition all news is propaganda
It’s because we’re literally surrounded by nazis
They were probably afraid to speak for fear or being deported
It’s a bullshit poll.
The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,260 adults from April 17- April 21, using a probability-based method from AmeriSpeak. The margin of sampling error for the poll is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
He’s underwater at 54.6% unfavorable on YouGov as of five days ago.

He’s 59% unfavorable on Pew Research Center as of three days ago.
The 52% AP-NORC result has a margin of error of 3.9%. That puts the 54.6% YouGov poll squarely within it. Pew Research was April 7-14 and doesn’t have a margin on its first page, so I didn’t look further.
Not sure why you don’t think the YouGov poll is also bullshit since it is lower than Pew.
Fair point. They both typically use smaller sample sizes than Pew or Reuters/Ipsos as well.
I mean, these numbers are still crazy low relatively speaking.
They’re the lowest in presidential history. Don’t forget, they’re not exclusively asking informed people.
George W. Bush had the highest disapproval with 71% on 10/10/2028.
Harry Truman had the lowest approval, hitting 22% in 1951 and again in 1952. From secondary source Wikipedia (it’s the internet; how hard do you want me to work?).
George W. Bush had the highest disapproval with 71% on 10/10/2008.*
FTFY
Thank you! I was so confused initially by these time traveling pollsters.
Could be 6 out of 10 said he should be put into the ground, it could also be 6 or if 10 said he should be the next pope.
2/10 Say he’s average. 3/10 think he’s great!
1/10?
“don’t know” it’s right there in the article
Probably something like:
4.3 terrible
2.4 average
3.3 great
30% of the population thinks tanking the economy, shredding the constitution, and deporting people to what is essentially a death camp without due process, all totally legal and very cool.
Reminds me of this book about interviews with “ordinary” non-political, non-military Nazi party members in Germany. Just regular citizens with jobs and families. “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45” (1955).
“The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule, with the exception of the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people… At the time of the interviews the interviewees were still not in favor of the democratic Bonn government.”

Sample size was 10 men… The author didnt even speak german
It’s not a poll. It’s a book.
Doesnt matter if you’re writing a book or a poll…It’s a very flawed methodolgy
Deporting.Disappearing.I got downvoted on another post for stating that disappearing is a term used for events when what happened to the victims isn’t public knowledge. We know who was deported illegally (without due process) to El Salvador.
Disappearing is when a person suddenly vanishes and it sometimes takes a Truth and Reconciliation effort a decade later to figure out where they were buried.
Sure, sure. It’s not disappearing someone if they eventually list their names or let them make phone calls, days, weeks, or months later, it’s just sparkling secret deportations.
Just because they’re doing it sloppily doesn’t mean it’s not disappearing.
Or maybe we should wait a decade before we refer to it as what it is.
Shows that Trump is not the problem. He is the symptom.
