Trump least popular newly elected president since Second World War – except for himself
Republican’s poll numbers ‘not impressive by historical standards’ despite ‘honeymoon’ phase, expert says
Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
You're viewing a single thread.
because the dems put out candidates somehow even less popular.
Republicans do evil things? Democrats are to blame for not having stopped them.
Democrats do evil things? Well, you can hardly blame people for electing Republicans, then.
sorry if i seem one-sided its because of the genocide and the shitshow defacto appointment strategy from the dnc et al.. there is a reason the left infights more than the right- there's a logic to attempting to speak to the side that is ostensibly closer to your ideals. what has yelling at or about trump accomplished, btw?
The fact that you're getting downvotes for this gives me little hope for the future of our country.
Balkanization is too good for the US.
The root of the problem is that too many people view the job as a popularity contest. The most effective person for the job may not have the best personality, or be the one you would like to have a beer with.
Elections are and have always been popularity contests.
Democracy isn't for picking leaders, it's the process by which leaders absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions.
"Don't blame me, the voters put me here."
Voter suppression should be somewhere in this conversation eventually too, but, yeah, until the Democratic party sees some huge reforms and dumps a bunch of the electeds and campaign consultants and party staffers that led us to this point they're going to keep getting wiped out every couple of election cycles
The really unfortunate part is that losing to Donald Trump makes a lot of the most vocal Democratic party supporters completely lose their minds and start attacking anyone who tries to have a conversation about why Democratic candidates lose, so, yeah, expect to get a lot of personal attacks and trolling for saying this
