Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Summary
Trump's approval rating dropped to 43%, the lowest since his January return to office, amid backlash over new tariffs and a mishandled military strike disclosure.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 37% approve of his economic leadership, and 34% support his foreign policy.
A majority view his tariff hikes as harmful, while 74% criticized the use of Signal to discuss a Yemen operation.
The poll, conducted online with 1,486 adults, showed bipartisan concern and a 2-point decline since March, reflecting rising unease over Trump's policies.
Anyone else concerned that a felon rapist who is crashing our economy still has a 43% approval rating?
That 43% is wannabe felon rapists who wish they could crash the economy.
… I can’t believe 43% support shithead.
i cant believe the other 57% are so useless. screw them. cant even get a majority or dont even vote. americans are pathetic. democratic party is a joke. i can easily believe 43% are with shithead. where should they have learned any better? may nancy pelosi keep inside trading, chuck schumer lie about gaza.... just shit people everywhere.
I'm pretty sure the lowest it could go is around 35% that's when you get to the lizard alien people who think they are sending kids to mars to harvest adrenochrome out of them.
After today's market reaction, that's gonna drop even further...
Maybe it will plummet in a free fall nosedive to a staggering 42.5%
Give it time.
Extreme right news junkets will tell trump’s followers how to inform the objectors that this is ok, and how it’s someone else’s fault.
Down 4% today so far. Retirement fantasies evaporating. Probably good news for 20 somethings, they can buy more and if they survive the climate change famines, water wars, genocides, and non-renewable resource shortages, those shares will probably be worth a lot.
Since his term began, my retirement has probably slipped about a year or so, and so much further to go.
USA has a lot more crazy people than I ever suspected.
This lack of realization when faced with reality is way beyond any worst case scenario I ever imagined.
I thought most of the people who voted for him, simply didn't believe the warnings. Turns out they actually support that shit?!?!You can thank the poisons of religion. They care about dying and going off elsewhere than EVERYTHING on Earth.
That's why I'm not just an atheist but an anti-theist.
They never face reality, we allowed malignant propoganda to spread and take over a huge chunk of our media presenting a false reality to many who don't have the media (or functional) literacy to understand when they're being manipulated. Half of Americans have a functional literacy below a 6th grade level - they can read the words, but the full nuanced understanding is beyond them.
43% of responders are idiots
Bush II had an approval rating around 25-30% at the end of his time in office. Consider that the bottom for how many people will still support a complete and obvious failure.
40% of people are in a cult, got it.
Something like 7% to 13% of poll responses are just trolling anyway (look up Lizardman’s Constant) and can’t be trusted. Assuming that ALL the trolls are voting to help Trump, we can see how many people unironically thinking that Trump it’s good.
So a minimum of 43% - 13% = 30% of people are legitimate cultists.
I don't think we can trust the polls since there's no free press in USA anymore so as far as I'm concerned it's US government regime propaganda.
The free press is alive and well, for now at least. Don't be hyperbolic.
Especially polls with less than 1,500 people surveyed
1500 is enough if the survey is properly randomized. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s true. You only need about 1000. Math is wild.

…conducted online.
How many of those people are American? Or people, for that matter?
That is disturbingly high.
Higher than biden’s average. Yes, you should be alarmed
About 44% too high.
So I've still got about even odds of encountering a fucking idiot when I meet someone.
Remind me why I should ever leave the house.
Here at Lemmy we'll deliver fucking idiots right to your computer.
I was exiled from Reddit. You have no idea how bad it can get until you've spent over a decade there. At least with Lemmy I don't have to scroll through dozens of juvenile puns just to get to a discussion that is soon derailed by Russian propaganda trolls.
I still miss the guitar subs, though. The idiots tended to ignore them.
I don't think fucking idiots are evenly distributed, so the odds depend on where you go.
Ugh, I just realized this fuck wit will be president of our ruins for the 250th anniversary.
Happy thoughts my dude.
Japan is sending us some new cherry trees for our birthday. (I know its more complicated than that, but take the little moments when they happen)
That’s really nice. I wish I could write a letter to thank Japan. Thank you for thinking of us Japan. ❤️
Will they be tariffed? Government holds them until the people pay 10% of their value to get them planted?
Alternatively, we can make it a great anniversary. A reenactment even
We need to take that away from him. Ignore whatever fascist shit he plans and throw giant rogue celebrations everywhere. I hate people but I will show up to counter celebrate democracy just to take away from his unearned prestige.
Make America George's Again
OK ONLY 13% MORE AND SCHUMER CAN ENACT THE MASTER PLAN!!!
Still has all the power in the world. What if it dropped to 20%, would that make any difference?
thats depressingly high.
The lowest so far. Wait until the inflation from his new set of international tariffs and resulting retaliatory tariffs kicks in.
after much bad his approval should sink 5 more points.
Not to worry, he just taxed all the world's stuff on Americans.
This is an budding authoritarian government where the polls don't matter.
Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office *
