OUT OF FAVOR

President Donald Trumps disapproval rating has hit a new high for his second term as those outside his MAGA base steadily desert him, according to a new poll. A survey conducted over the weekend by the Economist/YouGov shows that Trumps overall disapproval rating has climbed to the dizzying new height of 55 percent. Forty-one percent of the 1,680 U.S. adults who responded still approve of the job Trump is doing, down from 42 percent in the same poll a week earlier, when Trumps disapproval rating sat at 53 percent. The survey garnered responses from across the political spectrum. Among Republicans, Trumps approval rating stands at a still-strong 92 percent, down from 94 at the start of his term. Among self-identified MAGA Republicans, its 98despite the MAGA civil war over the Jeffrey Epstein files. Its with Democrats and independents that the president has suffered the most. Among Democrats, his approval rating is a paltry 3 percent, down from a January high of 12. Among independents, its at 29 points, compared to 41 when he took office in January. Back then, he had an overall 49 percent approval rating and a 43 percent disapproval rating.

(6,603 posts)Most president's approval numbers are still about 50 percent at this time in their term. Being at 41 percent is ghastly.

(2,768 posts)41 - 55 may be a record 14 pt negative for 'you gov' but falls short of AP NORC* poll from June 5 - 9, 2025 which was 39-60. As well as 38-54 from Quinnipiac same dates.
41-55 appears close to the field average of reputable polls from the past few months. Which excludes pro trump push polls which blatantly pad trumps approval by up to ten points.
There are several pro trump polls Rasmussen trafalgar RMG Quantus, which should not be included as valid representation of public opinion. Indeed a new pro trump poll seems to appear every 3 months or so, and disappear after a short stay, thankfully.
Right wing website Real Clear politics (RCP) field average includes both pro trump bullscat as well as reputable polls, and their avg today July 16 is 45.5 - 50. The CNN field average is as I noted above about 41-55. A negative 5 by RCP vs negative 14 by reputable polls.
Real clear politics allows padding; it has a drop back of approx 18 days where a poll older than 18 days is not included in its field average of polls. Rasmussen as a Tracking poll posts a result every business day so is immune to the 18 day drop back and is included in every single RCP field average, whereas reputable polls disappear after 18 days and are included only a while.
RCP knows this, as well as clearly seeing the padding, but allows it because Real Clear Politics is a corrupt pro trump spin machine as well as the shitty pro trump polls I mentioned above.
Several polls exist only to praise trump and the republican way and should be ignored as crap.
* AP NORC is Associated Press, National Opinion Research Council

(438 posts)His party controls both Houses and the Courts and enough state legislatures to gerrymander their way to total control. Plus he has administration that has zero regard for democracy and cares only about exhalting The Great One.
Its minority rule here in the USA...
I dont know what the solution is EXCEPT a deep economic downturn..that awakens America to RW insanity..
