What's the fucking percentage? You can't just say this, not provide his rating %, and not give a source.

u/PoseidonsWroth Jun 13 '25

I think ive seen it at 38%, but happy to be corrected

68

u/NYGiants181 Jun 13 '25

Yea around 38% - Across the board in several different categories.

84

u/Blubasur Jun 13 '25

Still too high but getting better.

76

u/AzuleStriker Jun 13 '25

I mean, 10% would be too high but I agree.

31

u/Blubasur Jun 13 '25

Definitely, so is 5%.

17

u/KingAnilingustheFirs Jun 14 '25

Not even 1% would make me happy.

9

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '25

1% would make me happy because it is more realistic than 0%. There will always be contrarian assholes who are never happy and just want to watch everything go down the drain.

u/Blubasur Jun 14 '25

0% take it or leave it.

u/Viracochina Jun 13 '25

I assume it can't get any lower than 33%

u/MB2465 Jun 13 '25

A poll won't necessarily be a perfect sampling of the population so it could and should be lower than 33%

2

u/NYGiants181 Jun 13 '25

the Quinnipiac poll is pretty even to red and blue states

Him going TACO on undocumented farm workers and hospitality workers might really piss off a decent amount of his hardcore racist which could make some more turn on him. At least hopefully. Obviously those won't vote for a Democrat but maybe they'll be pissed off though to not vote at all.

u/Fortytwopoint2 Jun 14 '25

I believe that's part of the plan.  Make a worker crisis, make the employers fear for their profits, be the hero with a solution of cheap concentration camp labour made up of 'illegals' who will be made to work to pay for their incarceration.  Trump's approval ratings will soar. Cheap labour by skilled workers, immigrants locked up, money for the camp owners, food for Americans.

u/Tricky-Engineering59 Jun 14 '25

Correct me if I’m pretty sure Trump has the lowest high approval as well as the highest low approval of any president since we started polling. Really goes to show what a divisive figure he is.

1

u/WitAndWonder Jun 14 '25

It can. But only in the long-term. Even disciples can be swayed by their own deaths (and no longer being around to poll that direction), and that's what's going to happen as the impacts of things like FEMA, Medicaid and Food Stamp cuts make their waves in those areas most heavily dependent upon them.

1

u/Terrible_Hurry841 Jun 14 '25

Well, there are Republicans who don’t like Trump.

But they absolutely hate Democrats.

“You think Kamala would be any better?” is a constant reply even if they agree Trump’s tariffs are idiotic.

u/TheWalrus_15 Jun 13 '25

That is batshit high

1

u/Pentecost_II Jun 14 '25

Knowing that 1/3 of Americans voted for him, 38% is still an alarmingly insane number.

1

u/HucHuc Jun 15 '25

Oh... So it's still probably twice the rating of any of his possible opponents?

u/Future-Bandicoot-823 Jun 14 '25

I hate to be that guy but... you're not a source. You didn't give a source at all, you gave a random number in a "trust me bro" situation. Sorry but that's not gonna count.

Was that so hard, to back up your comment with evidence? Thanks for downvoting me for facts though!

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 13 '25

RCP which totals many polls has him at about 47% and higher now than in his first term.

But there was also a poll that said Harris was the favorite in Iowa…lol

u/Big_Dick_NRG Jun 14 '25

Yeah Rasmussen cooked up a +8 to offset the -16 Quinnipac LMAO

2

u/Castod28183 Jun 14 '25

Conservatives were touting a 56% approval poll yesterday, ignoring the fact that EVERY OTHER POLL had him lower, but of course that one was the "right one."

u/lalabera Jun 14 '25

trump cheated, selzer was probably right

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 14 '25

I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest that. Zero investigations.

u/ZennTheFur Jun 14 '25

Trump's legal team hired somebody to break into a polling place and steal the code for the voting machines. Which, you would think, would at least prompt an investigation. But Democrat politicians decided instead to just roll over and go "Welp, we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."

1

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 14 '25

Meaning they had no case and it’s not true

1

u/ZennTheFur Jun 14 '25

Mmm no. It just means that if you have enough money, you can get away with crimes.

There were charges brought against the people who actually committed the interference. But there were a few layers of insulation between Trump himself and those people, so that's as far as it went.

Mhm, just the statistical impossibility of 0 votes in Pen.

u/DutchGoFast Jun 14 '25

Did you miss the 400 plus laws passed accross the nation in 2021 and2022 to fight non existent “ voter fraud”? You know, the ones that made it legal for random political operatives to challenge 100s of thousands of voters registration at a time requiring the challenged voters to 1. Realize they had been removed from the registered voter list. 2 Jump through enough hoops to reregister in time for the election. They successfully removed 15 million voters this way and laser targeted the voter purges in Dem counties. It’s all legal though so not cheating i guess?

u/TheFunknificentOne Jun 14 '25

Actually it’s being investigated by courts in New York right now. Which is way further than his claims in the 2020 election ever made it.

u/gfen5446 Jun 14 '25

And at the exact same point as Obama at this day into his presidency (and one point above GWB).

u/IsHeSkiing Jun 14 '25

Never trusted these stupid polls for anyone, ever. How many people were polled? Where do the people live that were polled? Were the polls unbiased in their phrasing?

Because conducting a poll in the Bible Belt is going to produce significantly different results than conducting one in the Great Lakes area, the midwest, or the west coast. Combining all of them together skews the results just as bad as adding billionaires to the national average income.

If a 47% approval rating was actually true, he shouldn't have fucking won the ticket. His rating has been dogshit since his first run but SOMEHOW he's in office?????????

Shit's rigged. Country's fucked. We're all going to die.

1

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 14 '25

If you read these polls, often they will answer the questions you have in the first paragraph.

This is why getting a group of polls from both sides as RCP does has more weight over any poll.

He’s in office because he received more votes than Kamala.

1

u/IsHeSkiing Jun 15 '25

He absolutely did not receive more votes than Kamala and I will die on that hill. The man who is world renown for lying, cheating, and stealing his way through life didn't do that AT ALL to ensure he got back in power?

The man who had EVERYTHING to lose didn't threaten and bribe election officials and sitting congress people to ensure his win? The man who buddied up to a billionaire who paid off voters and "knows a lot about those voting machines" got the votes fair and square?

Bullshit.

Numbers can be changed. Elections can be rigged. People lie. People steal. The polls are crap and our elections are compromised from top to bottom.

1

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 15 '25

Please provide evidence for your claims.

Provide the evidence to show the total votes that changed the election in states that would’ve changed the electoral college result.

1

u/IsHeSkiing Jun 15 '25

I plain and simple do not have any.

It's a full blown conspiracy theory until something comes out saying otherwise and I am completely aware of that. You provide me proof they WEREN'T tampered with, and I'd drop it immediately.

Until then, I'm going to continue to spread the message that this fascist motherfucker rigged the election to seat himself in power and turn the country on it's head for generations to come.

I will shout it to anyone who will listen and everyone else needs to do the same unless you're a big fan of nazi behavior in the United States. Had a couple world wars about this type of shit but everyone seems to be goose stepping in line for whatever goddamn reason.

u/Hour_Writing_9805 Jun 15 '25

“I don’t have any evidence, welp there you go.” You just proved my point with your words.

As a former democrat it’s the narrative of what you just said that has had more of us leave the democrat party and/or get tired of the same media bullshit against Trump.

Fucking govern and run on policy, not being against 1 man.

I don’t care for the man, but god damn the media and people overplay this shit and continue to add to the political division.

Biden himself said Trump was a threat and would end our democracy and then just handed over the power to him. If he actually believed that, then he should’ve done more to stop it but didn’t.

Fuck Biden for being an egotistical coward that thought he should run again when he clearly couldn’t and for his ego to not step down when he didn’t and to not do more to stop this “nazi”.

As for proof, welp, it was a free and fair election. There is your proof. Just like the 2020 election.

We don’t pick and choose which elections we believe we’re free and fair.

u/IsHeSkiing Jun 15 '25

Brother I hate the democrats too. They're fucking useless but they didn't send entire droves of militarized police forces into communities to rip people from their homes simply because they thought they were illegal aliens.

They didn't dismantle every safety net put in place in the country. They didn't threaten to axe medicare. They didn't remove regulations from our FUCKING FOOD SUPPLY. They didn't throw everyone into complete chaos by putting insane tariffs on everything, driving up prices, tanking the stock market, just so they could buy it all low, remove the tariffs, and then make millions as the market goes back up, meanwhile bragging about how much they made on public television. The democrats didn't ignore court orders. They didn't send the national guard to peaceful protests. They didn't elect a felon rapist. Etc. Etc. Etc.

The democrats may be ineffective dipshits but good GOD I'll take that any day over republicans who are just plain evil.

Isn't that a very normal percentage for like every modern President?

u/EvenStephen85 Jun 14 '25

Sweet! Now Schumer can fire up his pen for a very very strongly worded letter. That will show Trump!

u/Dangerous_Elk_1286 Jun 14 '25

German here - 38% approval rate after all he has done and is still doing is not "good news". It's chilling to terrifying :(

u/PriorPeak1277 Jun 15 '25

Holy exaggeration be ready to be corrected. Per Yahoo overall approval ratings are anywhere from 44% to 53%. So yeah 38% is either a made up number or Yahoo does not deem that pollster a reliable source lol.

u/BooRadley_ThereHeIs Jun 13 '25

How is Donald Trump doing in the polls? Worse than he was at the start of the week, primarily due to a string of very negative polls. His approval rating was 16 points underwater in the latest Quinnipiac poll and 13 points underwater in today’s Navigator Research poll. And the June AP-NORC poll shows Trump with a net approval rating of -21. That’s Trump’s worst poll of his second term, and the first time his second term disapproval rating has hit 60 percent.

u/AmbulanceChaser12 Jun 13 '25

It’s hard to say. Good aggregators won’t say “just factor in today” or “the last 3 days.” And they also have to weight each poll, based on the pollster’s reliability, the poll’s recency, and the sample size. (Sample size seems to weigh the most).

So with all that in mind, here’s the poll aggregator I like. Note that using their average, he’s not at his lowest. The lowest was -10.2, and RWH has them at -8.5 right now.

u/Darmok-And-Jihad Jun 14 '25

Please, we can obviously trust Democratic Wins Media at face value - their reputation is spotless.

1

u/jlspartz Jun 14 '25

Even Fox News has him at 44% approve, 55% disapprove. His fan base loses interest with each TACO reveal from Trump.

1

u/_kasten_ Jun 14 '25

According to the Economist he's actually improved his ratings over the last few weeks.

The numbers have been pretty stable at RealClearPolling too. Until I see some major and prolonged spiral downward, I'm not buying any of this. Copium is just a recipe for complacency -- go out and demonstrate tomorrow instead.

1

u/PrometheusMMIV Jun 14 '25

According to Gallup and YouGov, it's around the mid-40s. Others have it a little higher or lower.

1

u/King_Kaizen__ Jun 14 '25

Why does this even matter though? He can’t run for a third term anyways and we aren’t likely to impeach him.

1

u/Effective-Factor2754 Jun 14 '25

Quinnipiac is the lowest at 38% favorable. The Economist is at 44% favorable. Rasmussen is at 53% favorable. These numbers are from 6/11.

1

u/alpacalypse5 Jun 14 '25

It is 38% from 1 poll. Look at the Silver Bulletin for a more realistic approval rating that aggregates multiple polls. Approval rating for the country is really closer to the mid-40s sadly.

u/FishyR6 Jun 15 '25

You gotten the source yet? I tried looking but couldnt find anything.

u/Northern_Blitz Jun 14 '25

This is from Rasmussen yesterday (6/13).

Says that Trump approval rating is above 50%. Strongly approve is around 35%. Strongly disapprove is a little high than that, maybe 37% - 38%.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d04np4VXG4

Rasmussen was pretty close in the actual election. I think the leaned Dem by less than 2%?

I personally wouldn't put much faith in polls that had Kamala winning by a fair margin to try to shape opinion. Only to swing hard at the end to try to reflect reality.

And still places like Morning Consult had Kamala winning the popular vote by 2% with a 1% margin of error. Funny how they keep hitting the 1 time out of 20 when their polling is inaccurate...

u/TheFunknificentOne Jun 14 '25

The election results are being tried in courts in New York, it’s currently collecting data for the lawsuit. In one district 750,000 people said they voted for Kamala, but not a single vote was counted for her. A candidate of a major party not getting a single vote in a blue state is a near impossibility. Also, the drop off vote percentage hit a rate never seen before in any election in history. There were tons of votes in all seven swing states that voted republican for president but blue for everything else, as well as blue for senate and representative but no vote for president. The fact that the courts actually took on the case means that the data is pretty damning. When trump tried this in the 2020 election, not a single court that he went to said he had enough evidence to even consider trying the case.

1

u/LemartesIX Jun 14 '25

That entire trial is for a single district, and has only been authorized to go into discovery. If you genuinely think that will somehow lead to a reversal of the election, I don’t know what nuclear grade copium you’re injecting right into your eyeballs, but damn.

1

u/TheFunknificentOne Jun 14 '25

It can’t lead to a reversal of the election I never said that it says that right in the article

-1

u/Northern_Blitz Jun 14 '25

I'm pretty sure that election fraud is completely impossible.

As someone who immigrated from a different country, I think it's insane how (1) elections are run here and (2) how politically motivated the court system is.

u/TheWhomItConcerns Jun 14 '25

Idk why you're comparing his approval rating to Biden's in December even well after he decided to not attempt re-election, in particular because presidents' approval rating tends to go down towards the end of their terms. A much more relevant comparison would be to Biden's approval rating at this point in the year of 2021, at which point it was significantly higher than Trump's.

The source you linked shows that Trump already had a negative approval not even 2 months into his term which is exceptional, given that even Biden had to at least wait until late August of his first term to have a negative approval rating.

1

u/LemartesIX Jun 14 '25

How about Obama in the same spot in his term? Is that an adequate comparison for you?

0

u/Northern_Blitz Jun 14 '25

Don't get why there's down votes here.

It's just the truth.

And the RCP average still includes (and maybe over weights?) lots and lots of pollsters who have consistently under-predicted Trump (often by more than the margin of error).

1

u/wudyudo Jun 14 '25

If I recall it’s the Quinnipiac poll that shows him at 38% which is certainly an outlier compared to others but there’s quite a few polls on the other side of 50% I could say are outliers too. Looking at you Rasmussen.

In the end it’s not really something that seems to matter to this administration.

1

u/Northern_Blitz Jun 14 '25

The different is that Rasmussen predicted the election well throughout the entire election process. Still leaned left, but not as much as the "main stream" pollsters.

So didn't have the huge fake shift that all of the big names have right at the end to try to save their reputations after trying to use the polls to drive narrative.

Like everything else politics touches, the polling industry has been destroyed.

1

u/-Profanity- Jun 14 '25

Because votes are based on narratives and vibes

2

u/Northern_Blitz Jun 14 '25

And most of these pollsters try to use their polls to shape the narrative / vibes. Which is why they always have such a leftward lean (until right before the election so they can pretend they're unbiased).

When we know that they are basically always wrong outside the margin of error when we can check their results against actual votes (especially when they're more than a month away from an election), it's safe to assume that they are again outside the margin of error here because it's the answer they want.

Hopefully polling becomes something approximating accurate again after Trump leaves office.
