As someone who is against violence 90% of the time. After all this, it's that high...

Someone needs to start work on that second civil war.

 

[ArchedThunder]

They would vote for the R regardless, but it should also disfranchise enough not to turn out and vote in general.

Also increases the chances of Trump not even getting the nomination.

 

[RiZ III]

I'm surprised it isn't higher.

 

[Lo-Volt]

This was in the 80s not that long ago, wasn’t it? If the party is receding this much in Trump’s first year in office, how are they going to stand together in 2020, if that? For a president’s party, that’s actually a pretty bad reading.

 

[rokkerkory]

This is where many peeps put party before country

 

[Peltz]

Alright, who are the 5% of democrats who approve?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Nah, we’d just fuck up the clean-up all over again.

 

[SolarPowered]

Way too high, but this is the first time I've seen his Republican approval rating below 70% which is new to me. Another fifteen percent or so and Republicans will be looking at apocalyptic midterms.

Keep going, Donald

 

[Hubbl3]

Alright, who are the 5% of democrats who approve?

Like others have said, it's probably Southern Democrats. Relics from before the 2 major parties in this country had large demographics shifts

 

[cornerman]

I keep thinking this...Whether his approval dips or rises, Americans won't be rid of Trump til he's jailed or dies. I can't imagine him going off into the sunset after his term ends (normally or by impeachment). I for see a future where he is always tweeting, with news media that will always be willing to share it. Republicans will always have him on their backs. 2018 and 2020 will be referendums on Trump and they won't be able to bad mouth him without a tweet in retaliation. He's baggage until you rip the phone from his hands...dead or jailed ones.

 

[Lombax]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

Holy shit.

 

[Apathy]

67% of Republicans hate poor people, minorities, and basic human decency?

I wa shock.

Funny thing is that part of that 67% is poor themselves. Wait wait they call it being in an economic slump when it is them but if it's a minority they call them lazy. That's right.

 

[RPGCrazied]

It was in the 80's for the longest time. I'm glad to see it finally drop, but its still to high.

 

[ErichWK]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

People will root for their team no matter what

 

[chekhonte]

I don’t believe it. This has to be an outlier. This is way too low.

Yeah definitely. Most polls are putting him in the 80's. I'd like to see the methodology of collection and questions used. Probably weighted negative.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

this is not good for trump especially in a decent economy (left by democrats again and again)

good

 

[timetokill]

Hoping this isn't an outlier, because that is DAMN low for a same-party president in his first year

 

[Instro]

His numbers with Republicans are probably higher, or should be higher, given the current economic climate. Many of then will waiver should he go to war, or if the economy turns again. Either way these are certainly low numbers, although we all wish they were much much lower. The congressional approval rates have me hopeful that Republicans won't turn out in 2018.

 

[Sunster]

Congressional approval remains even lower. Eighteen percent of Americans say they approve of the way Congress has been handling its job and 81 percent disapprove, including 51 percent who say they strongly disapprove.

and yet we keep sending the same exact people back there.

 

[DragonKnight]

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

When shit hits the fan is you still a fan?

Damn, KDot

 

[Htown]

HOW

HIGH

Watch Fox News for two hours. That will answer all your questions.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Alright, who are the 5% of democrats who approve?

Probably those accelerationists or far left that think his presidency is good for the long term because reasons...

 

[Iolo]

Uh yeah lol that's a gigantic outlier. Actual approval is probably closer to 38-40%.

He had a poll show 32% back in April as well when his average was at 42%.

 

[zashga]

Republicans have no standards. I honestly can't believe how high that number is. What could Trump possibly do to lose these people?

 

[DrSlek]

HOW

[WiiredShawn]

Republicans have no standards. I honestly can't believe how high that number is. What could Trump possibly do to lose these people?

Make out with Obama.

 

[Strike]

It's dropping, so that's something I guess.

 

[sflufan]

Uh yeah lol that's a gigantic outlier. Actual approval is probably closer to 38-40%.

He had a poll show 32% back in April as well when his average was at 42%.

I think you're a bit confused. This poll indicates that his standing among all political affiliations is at 32% with his standing among self-identified Republicans at 67%.

 

[Sobriquet]

How tf do 5% of Democrats approve of Trump?

Find out who those people are and switch their party because they’re obviously just trying to sabotage the party in local elections or something.

I'm assuming they're elderly Southern Democrats. Lifetime Democrats that vote Republican in every election.

.

 

[Boke1879]

The only good thing about this poll is you can keep putting it in trumps face and hope he says some dumb shit

 

[XMonkey]

and yet we keep sending the same exact people back there.

“It’s not my representative that’s to blame, it’s all the other cronies” is literally what people think and why it doesn’t change. Also, lack of viable competition or choice.

 

[Shaanyboi]

If there's any drop, it's only because he still hasn't started building that waĺl yet.

 

[FStubbs]

Way too high, but this is the first time I've seen his Republican approval rating below 70% which is new to me. Another fifteen percent or so and Republicans will be looking at apocalyptic midterms.

Keep going, Donald

Gerrymandering + Democrats having abysmal ratings as well = not necessarily

 

[parrotbeak]

Way too high, but this is the first time I've seen his Republican approval rating below 70% which is new to me. Another fifteen percent or so and Republicans will be looking at apocalyptic midterms.

Keep going, Donald

Trump supporters eager to ‘drain the swamp’ help fill Republican Party coffers

Gwynne Abrams, an unemployed nanny in Henderson, Nev., who gave $78 to the joint committee, said that Trump has been “under attack” from his own party. She plans to vote for the GOP challenger taking on incumbent Sen. Dean Heller (R) in her state next year.

“I’m not giving to the Republican Party, really,” said Abrams, 56, adding that the party has “done nothing since they’ve been in control of the Senate and House.”

“I think our politicians are being bought off, except for Mr. Trump,” she added.
[...]
More money for the RNC is flowing through the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, which had pulled in $14.4 million as of June 30, including $11 million in donations of $200 and less, filings show.

If there's any drop, it's only because he still hasn't started building that waĺl yet.

“I want to show every Republican Senator a list of American voters that will NOT be happy if the wall isn’t built,” read a message the committee sent out in Trump’s name in August, referring to his plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

[Xe4]

That is super low for a 1st year president. So low, and in comparison to other polls I would be shocked if it wasn't an outlier. And if it isn't, it's because he hasn't gotten healthcare reform or tax reform passed yet.

I'm hoping this is a trend though. The less people like Trump the better.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

THAT

HIGH

A lot of Republicans don't like to admit when they're wrong.

 

[keuja]

Two third of the republican base confirmed racists and/or incapable of logical thoughts.

 

[Shauni]

His disapproval is clearly trending upward.

Lol, for real. It's like how hard is it to just look at a line

 

[MetalGearZed]

49% Republicans say he's honest. Fucker literally said it was sunny when it was raining. Like how much are you not paying attention?

lol

 

[parrotbeak]

A lot of Republicans don't like to admit when they're wrong.

They weren't wrong though. They elected a white supremacist and they got one.

 

[Garrett 2U]

49% Republicans say he's honest. Fucker literally said it was sunny when it was raining. Like how much are you not paying attention?

I imagine they buy the ‘multiple interpretations’ narrative that conservative media obsesses over. Or the Kellyanne Conway classic “If Trump believes it, then it’s not a lie.” Or her “alternative facts.” Or, of course, Trump’s “fake news” claims.

There are so many excuses to pick from.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

His disapproval is clearly trending upward.

So not a lot of minds changing on those who approved of him, but that gap in the middle of people who said "I'll give him a chance" or "I don't want to talk about politics" is quickly funneling into the disapproval camp. This is important. These people decide elections.

 

[KernelPanic]

Don't forget that a lot disapprove of him because he's not as shitty as he promised to be.

No border wall
No Obamacare repeal
No tax cuts

 

[Meowster]

Alright, who are the 5% of democrats who approve?

People like Susan Sarandon probably.

 

[MIMIC]

Proud to say that I know a "former" Trump supporter.

The NFL controversy was the final nail in the coffin.

I didn't question it. I just said OK. lol

 

[Brinbe]

Still too high...Reminder what we're working against.

 

[Shauni]

Don't forget that a lot disapprove of him because he's not as shitty as he promised to be.

No border wall
No Obamacare repeal
No tax cuts

I wish people would quit parroting this. We really have no idea if this is true or not.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Don't forget that a lot disapprove of him because he's not as shitty as he promised to be.

No border wall
No Obamacare repeal
No tax cuts

No ISIS defeat.
No Muslim ban.
No Hillary special prosecutor.
No bringing the country together.

I wish people would quit parroting this. We really have no idea if this is true or not.

If what is true? His favor dropping because he hasn’t achieved his campaign pledges? I think that is pretty self explanatory.

 

[Majine]

The fuck????? Why is this not zero?

Why are you this surprised? America elected him, he hasn't changed for the better.

 

[jstripes]

Alright, who are the 5% of democrats who approve?

"He's president and we have to respect that", "Just give him a chance", etc.
