WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Republicans' satisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S. took a hit since last month. Forty-one percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S., down 17 percentage points since May. At the same time, satisfaction among Democrats and independents has remained low.

These data are from a June 7-11 Gallup poll, during which controversy continues to swirl around the Trump administration. On June 8, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee conducted hearings with recently fired FBI Director James Comey. The former director's testimony left questions among some observers as to whether the president had tried to interfere with an investigation into his administration's ties with Russia.

Saw this in connection with the thread today about disapproval. Tell me I'm doing a bad job if old.

Thanks for the title edit. I's not so fantastical with word things.

The way things are going, is Trump literally going to have the lowest approval ratings of any US President in history? Who would he have to compete with...Nixon?

 

[Heroman]

We all knew this happen even during the election, it was a matter of when.

Someone needs to update this gif with Trump's face

Republicans have to wear this badge of shame forever.

I'm pretty sure they're dissatisfied because of witch hunts and obstructionist democrats, not because Trump sucks as President.

Hmm, I wonder how they can fix that...

 

[Blader]

It's almost as if the Republican Party is bad at governing.

Just to reinforce this point, nothing externally bad has happened yet.

Imagine if he has to handle a Katrina or a Recession, he'll sink like a stone.

This is line in line with Trumps disapproval rating (which is now at 60+%)

Nixon and Truman both got down to 22, GW Bush got down to 25.

Especially with no FEMA director!

"nobody knew not having a head of a major federal department would cause so much chaos"

Nixon, Truman, and W. have the lowest approval/highest disapproval ratings in Gallup's history.

I love that less people thought Ike, JFK, and FDR did a bad job than people thought Trump has done a good job.

Interesting, thank you.

Suprisingly its Truman. He hit 22% when the Korean war hit during a recession.

It's also nuts that two presidents have higher disapproval ratings than Nixon (W and Truman)

Trump is also on pace to have the lowest top approval rating ever (46)

They're literally lobby boys for dumb rich people.

Yeah, with the way the question is worded Trump die-hards could also answer yes because they see the intelligence community and media tearing down their guy.

 

[Future]

Quick. Have another cabinet meeting where 100% of the appointed cabinet can express their love and extreme satisfaction, with hints of sexual attraction, for trump

Soooo much winning.

 

[BobTheFork]

Ah, the important Self satisfaction numbers.

 

[E-Cat]

I mean, they had like four months to be dissatisfied with Trump, but weren't.

Real question- What is the Republican approval rating?

There is an easy, direct way to see how rank and files feel about Trump. It's dropping slowly, but still pretty high as far as I know.

 

[Akuun]

I wonder if Trump really will get lower than those other presidents. Trump has a cult of personality around him, and I don't think other presidents did.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Did you guys know Trump won the general election?

 

[Steel]

10% of dems are satisfied with where the country is going?

 

[Kurdel]

Yeah, can't even ban muslims anymore.

Not my America!!

edit: But seriously, tjis last month has been an international embarrassment for the US.

 

[Sulik2]

What is Trump's approval rating among his voters? That is the only metric that matters. As long as that stays high the GOP will continue to back Trump.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Personally I'm shipping Tillerson and Trump, Putin/Trump is so last year

 

[inner-G]

The pivot is coming any day now

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Don't rest on this. Voters will still go out and try to re-elect him.

 

[Maxim726X]

Did you guys know Trump won the general election?

No, would you happen to have an electoral map on you?

Recession they'll just blame on Obama and a Katrina 2 they'll optically make it look like they are doing a lot to help but in reality are doing a piss poor job, just like bush 2.0.

 

[Steel]

No, would you happen to have an electoral map on you?

I heard that it was the greatest electoral landslide of all time. From people.

Trump has 14 more points to go. 3.5 years (barring resignation or impeachment) is plenty of time to get that done.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

1. It hasn't even been 6 months. His approval rating has been steadily bleeding out.
2. There haven't been any major disasters and/or wars under Trump's presidency (yet). I can easily see his numbers dipping into the teens if either occurs. Especially with how inept he is at handling literally everything else.

 

[Pyramid head]

I'm surprised how many are actually satisfied with 'global embarrassment - cosmic joke'.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

 

[gutter_trash]

is Congress stupid enough to continue supporting Trump and take a chance in the Mid-Terms?

Ryan and McConnell should just dump Trump

 

[Usobuko]

10% democrats ok with this direction?

 

[Angry Grimace]

The way things are going, is Trump literally going to have the lowest approval ratings of any US President in history? Who would he have to compete with...Nixon?

Nixon hit like 22% when he was going to be impeached. I don't see that happening even with an inpeachmebt.

I'd personally rather see Trump stay in office and have the Dems win the House in 2018 than an impeachment and not winning the House.

 

[Woo-Fu]

10% democrats ok with this direction?

Apathy isn't a party-specific affliction.

 

[thecouncil]

Look at that February jump among Republicans. I assume that's after all those garbage executive orders and the travel ban tried to get going.

83%, IIRC.

Dixiecrats? Disillusioned never Clinton voters?

Basically. It was also a whole less obvious to people who don't keep up with politics that he'd be a complete lame duck at best and a complete waste of a human being at worst.

A lot of people I know were sort of sympathetic towards him at the start. They didn't like him but were willing to give him a chance for whatever reason. Clearly, giving a chance isn't worth the effort anymore since he's busy ramming through a sub-30% approval health care bill for whatever reason.
