    TL;DR: approval down 1% from 45% to 44% over 6 days. Was at 47% on Jan 20. Disapproval up to 51% from 41% though since January.

      First of all, that’s within the margin of error, so the headline is pure clickbait copium.

      Second, it’ll take some time for the effects to be reflected in the economy, even with tariffs. Give it time; it will drop further once it impacts people directly.

        What I’ll never fully understand are the ostensibly capable knowledge workers that believe the shit Trump says. Our web admin hurts my heart. “Dude, I know you know how to fact check.” In their case, it’s just Christianity.

            Lol I made a comment to another engineer at work that was something like “idk how an engineer could ever be religious due to the fact many think logically”

            Turns out he was very Christian oops

          Intelligent people can also be indoctrinated into a cult. Probably only takes a bit longer.

    They voted the Nazi in for the egg prices, and are pissed he did not deliver while he tears down the country.

    1% change in a week.

    Anyone that does surveying for a living knows that this is basically flat. These surveys have a margin of error far greater than 1%.

    The honeymoon period is slowly coming to an end. We’re just about to reach the bleary eyed, “what the fuck did I just do?” period.

      Maybe for some of them. For a lot of the hard core ones, they are here for the very stupidest of things, even if they are driven into poverty.

      “That’ll show those [DEI]s!” - yelling from the tent they are forced to move into.

        Yeah, the delusion is only growing. I saw a woman involved in a state Republican Party post that she “saw through Newsmax’s liberal bullshit” and that while her husband still likes them she “knew the truth”.

        We’ve far surpassed dangerous levels of delusion.

    Oh no, the economy!

    At least the government isn’t being decimated by having anything that Musk doesn’t like destroyed while also randomly firing essential people. The economy is the important thing!

    Ah yes. As an uhmerican, my primary concern is ‘the economy’, and not the loss of my entire political structure, climate, and rights.

    Anyone else sick of this out of touch bullshit?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
