Trump Down To 34 Percent Popularity

donald_trump_president-elect_portrait_croppedstock-149421_128045 is now at 34.  President Donald Trump has hit a new low in popularity according to the Gallup poll.  Gallup’s latest poll is 34 percent with a disapproval rate at a staggering 61 percent.  Yet, there is no indication of any change in the President’s continued use of Twitter or his unscripted comments like the damaging comments on Venezuela that led Maduro critics to denounce the United States.  The concern among GOP members and operatives is that Trump is being given tailored news in a daily positive portfolio.  Yet, he is also an avid news watcher so he clearly can see the continued decline in support not just among the public but GOP members.

These polls however are often difficult to place in the context of other leaders. As previously discussed, Bill Clinton had the same polling numbers and popular international figures like French President Emmanuel Macron has the same polling numbers.  

Polling across the board is showing the same low popularity numbers. The latest polling is one point lower than the 35 percent approval in March.   Regardless of how you read the poll, these numbers are not good and show a hardening opposition to Trump.  More importantly, things are not improving as Trump heads into a September that could be brutal in moving his legislative agenda.

  1. Have we, as a nation, not been dumbed down? Are some of our students not marginal readers at best? Do we not promote, in secondary schools, some that are lacking in critical thinking skills? Is it any wonder many high school students are easily manipulated & hoodwinked? Overall, what class of people benefit? Is it not the political class intertwined with the business class? In short, we have a growing number illiteracy coupled with a growing number of perverted, boorish & degenerate public schools.

  2. Trump ha! He doesn’t give a damn about America. Only himself. He’s only using the office for his own evil gains. He’s obviosly brainwashed you all into thinking he’s going to Make America Great Again? It’s Make Me Great Again. His own cabinet and his biggest supporters are scattering to seek cover from his wrath. He’s going to destroy th very fiber of this country, he’s going to take over just like Adolph Hitler and Saddam Hussein. Tell me something you conservative robots as a military Veteran of Vietnam why didn’t he serve our country? You know why? Because the rich and privileged don’t have to serve.

    1. Suggest you read, if willing, D’Souza’s 2017 text called “The Big Lie: Exposing The Nazi Roots Of The American Left.” The fascism card & the race card continue to be employed by progressives with, sadly, great effect. As D’Souza states the progressive “opponents of hate are the actual practitioners of the politics of hate.” Was it not the progressive, democratic party that “refused to accept the election of Abraham Lincoln?” Did a Civil War not follow? In “an unprecedented violation of democratic etiquette,” did approximately “seventy Democratic lawmakers refuse to attend Trump’s inauguration?” In short, perhaps, the greatest shock in my lifetime is the dumbing down of America!

    1. “You know why? Because the rich and privileged don’t have to serve.”

      I’m a Freakonomics fan and remembered this from 2008 (more at site).

      3 out of 4 of the candidates for Pres and VP had a child in the military in 2008. Enlisted Recruits are more likely to come from middle and upper class neighborhoods.

      Though not listed in this piece the rich and billionaires have fought starting with George Washington who was one of the richest Americans and includes George Bush, Ross Perot, and others.

      From PBS “2010 Census shows that only seven percent of Americans have served in the military, while veterans make up 20 percent of the current Congress.”

      “the current analysis shows that regardless of the underlying patterns of political identification that pertain at each age group, veterans (or those currently in the military) of all ages are more Republican and less Democratic than those who are not veterans.” Gallop In that survey independents seemed to rank higher than Democrats.

      Thank you for your service.

  4. Why are the liberal states ALWAYS supporting red conservative states. CA alone gave over $35 billion to red states in 2015. Why are you not ashamed for taking these liberal handouts. Tell your red senator to change the law and each state keeps its own money then see who you vote for.

    1. ” Why are you not ashamed for taking these liberal handouts.”

      Ummmm ,.. well … because .. . winners in the red states know to get every dollar no matter how or where it comes from?

  5. Donald Trump will leave office in shame once the polls get down to below 20%. He has even lost the support of his biggest supporters; conservative corporate big wigs. I guarantee by the end of this year this man will get a taste of his own medicine. He’ll get fired.

  7. Trump is a true Patriot with a true love for this country. Too bad we could never say the same about Obama. He’s exactly why we got Trump. Trump will finish his four years. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

        1. You fail to understand that truth is objective. You merely expressed your opinion, a belief.

          1. If truth is objective and my opinion is merely a belief that is not the truth, then are you not attempting to have me deny the existence of my reality? I exist in a world that is occurring for me as I see and interpret it. If truth is true and truth is reality and the reality I observe is that Trump is the man I believe him to be, then I am existing in my own truth and that is subjective, no? It is not your truth, therefore it is not objective truth. And it is not merely opinion or belief, but rather my interpretation of reality as I observe it. So, yes, only truth is true. Or something. 😉

  9. He may be down in popularity, but he’s still head and shoulders above Congress (11%) and the media (6%).

  10. The DNC is salivating that they can put in the same old slimy neoliberal hacks because the left has no where else to go. Won’t work for me.

    1. And Obama won the popular vote. The morons and rednecks from the higher electoral college votes elected Trump. He did not win on paper just like Al Gore did in 2000 with a much more qualified Joe Lieberman. So to respond to your statement; the people don’t elect the President of the United States; Morons and Rednecks do. His popularity is at its lowest ever in such a short time in office of 34% that the true Americans aren’t counting who many days into the Presidency, but how many till we get this self-serving psycho out of office. That’s if he doesn’t get impeached first. My estimate that that will be after the next mid-term or by end of this year. Thank God! Jim C. St. Mary’s County, Maryland (30 miles from our Nation’s Capital) A Proud Democrat and strong supporter of My true President; Hillary Clinton and my friends President Barrack Obama and Congressman Steny Hoyer, MD.

      1. the people don’t elect the President of the United States; Morons and Rednecks do.

        LOL! Imagine your shame that morons and rednecks outsmarted the entire DNC, most of the MSM and polling organizations.

        Bwahahahahahahaha!

        1. TBob. it’s just ‘progressive’ Dimm left psychosis. The left is full of it. In more ways than one. One would HAVE to be mentally ill & VERY uninformed to call Dabeast their prez. Either that or a paid traitorous Soros troll. On 2nd thought, to be a Soros troll would mean the same mental disorder, insanity.

          Jolly good show there Olly.

    2. “Everyone I know loves the guy!”

      That’s the definition of living in an echo chamber.

    1. Please discuss further this “deep state” organization which you have so cleverly uncovered.
