Approval/Disapproval Polls

I don't believe that his polling is trending upwards at all, and as the economy continues to struggle he's likely going to remain near his absolute possible low in the polls - that is, his MAGA base and nothing else.

Would they vote against Trump if given a chance?

They wouldn’t.

Would they vote against Trump if given a chance?

They wouldn’t.

The best hope would be they not vote at all

Trump can't even be voted for anymore. I'm guessing many of these Trump voters don't even realize that yet.

How can his approval be so HIGH?

WTF America!

I'd say 10-15% are benefitting from the oligarchic swing. The rest are against Democrats no matter how bad things are under a Republican.

That seems high...perhaps that many believe that they are benefitting...

It is astounding that 42% still support him.

He could rape a 12-year-old on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters.

As sick as it sounds, they’d blame the 12 year old.

He has had a few (relatively) good polls in December. I check the Nate Silver poll tracker fairly regularly and he has added 1.5 to favorability and subtracted 1.5 from his unfavorability this month, for a 3% total improvement.

He certainly wouldn't lose Ramrouser. This we know.

 

[Geisterfahrer]

42% to 36% is “slight”? Wtf. It’s -14%, that’s hardly “slight” in politics. Plus psychologically anything below 40% is disaster territory for a president.

I'm not sure it occurred on 5th Avenue, but a woman did file a lawsuit alleging Trump raped her in Epstein's apartment when she was 13 years old.

As others have already said, 36% approval is disaster area numbers for any POTUS, even Trump. At the same time it's very unlikely that his numbers could fall much lower, as that 36% likely represents his core cult MAGA base that will never abandon him even if they lose their jobs, their homes, and their kids are starving and can't get medical attention because their Obamacare subsidies or Medicaid got cut. The problem for Trump and especially the GOP is that he's alienating just about everyone else - the other 60-plus percent.
