1. Don the fucking King Con knows he's history

He'll get more desperate - the shitshow should be extra shitty later

[pnwest]

35. For the first time, I agree with the idea that he knows he's toast. I think he finally realizes

that he seriously fucked this up. NOT that he cares that he's caused thousands of preventable deaths - but he does care that everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, is pissed off about it and the deaths have hurt his reelection chances. I do believe that deep within himself, he knows he really fucked up this time, and it can't be fixed, reversed, ignored, sued out of existence - and he's a bit panicked, which is why he keeps losing his shit at the pressers, why he's trying to lay blame on China and WHO. He knows this is a colossal cock-up.

Up to now, every time someone said Don knows he's history, I disagreed. But there are Republicans amongst the medical first responders, and they see what's the what. They can't be gaslighted. And those in his base who have gotten sick, or even lost loved ones, they see, too.

He knows he's toast, so he's even trying to change the narrative away from the deaths by bullshitting about defunding WHO, by talking about adjourning Congress. Even that negative press is better than the deaths.

[TeamPooka]

37. they way he just walked away from the mic yesterday. That's a beaten man who is over his head

in the deep shit.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

61. Immortality

He trumped himself.

[California_Republic]

74. Famous or infamous Pick one.

[90-percent]

77. stealing

for my FB wall..

-90% jimmy

[not fooled]

75. He was over his head

walking up to the podium to be inaugurated. The rich assholes who backed him gambled that the country would be OK with an incompetent psychopath in charge--and lost. I just hope the country stays reasonably intact until Biden takes over.

[malaise]

51. 33,000+ dead people

He'd better know he's caused thousands of deaths

[WhiteTara]

84. I just realized that like Reagan,

he will slip into dementia to avoid having to take responsibility.

[NNadir]

53. He's too self absorbed, too marginally intelligent, and too morally weak to understand...

...that he's screwed.

He will continue to get worse, not better.

[Solomon]

63. I agree. I don't think he has the capacity to know he fucked up.

[BadgerMom]

69. Concur.

[LiberalFighter]

42. He will say it is fake news and a fake poll.

[GoCubsGo]

50. His daily shitshow is going to be a doozy today, after this news.

Gird your loins, folks. And, pass the popcorn!

[malaise]

64. Won't miss it

[GoCubsGo]

73. I usually watch Hal Sparks' MST3K version of it

His mockiery the only way I can stomach it.

[Mr.Bill]

67. Of course he knows. So do many other republicans.

That's why they are looting the place. I mean they always have been, but they're doing it on steroids now. When was the last time they printed trillions of dollars of money and made it look like they were giving it away, all the while stealing more than half of it.

[lame54]

2. Hardly a crash...

The # is still ridiculously high

[uponit7771]

4. +1

[NewsCenter28]

6. 15 point net swing though!

N/T.

[greenjar_01]

13. That's the OP's point, I think

[NewJeffCT]

16. In a poll conducted regularly

a drop of 6 points in a week after 3 years of fairly steady numbers week after week is a major move.

[lame54]

19. Still cant wrap my head around...

Him ever having 40+% approval

Any ONE of Trump's actions should drop it lower than that
If you add them all together his approval should be O%

40+% is YUGE

[NewJeffCT]

28. He has a massive echo chamber supporting him

TV:
Fox News
OAN
Sinclair Broadcasting

Radio:
Rush Limbaugh
Scores of Rush wannabes across the nation
Cumulus Media

Newspapers
NY Post, Washington Times and hundreds of local and regional newspapers nationwide

Internet
Breitbart, Info Wars, and thousands of other far right websites amplified by an army of Russian bots and trolls

[aggiesal]

70. And that doesn't include all the advertisers ...

on any and all of these communication media, you've listed, that also donate to Pendejo45's campaign.

[deurbano]

48. It's always startling-- and horrifying-- to realize there are fellow Americans who continue to

support this walking shit show.

[ooky]

56. I guess that the 40% approve of the fact he does nothing useful while

they are staring down at joblessness, no healthcare, potential bankruptcy, hunger, and ultimately, homelessness. Who wouldn't want more of that? Although, I didn't get the impression that those magats protesting yesterday were particularly happy with their individual situations.

[Mickju]

54. It should be 27%.

[Stuart G]

43. I believe his hardcore base is about 30%..and he is going to get to that number.

And when it gets there, it will stay there. There are still some "undecideds"..When this poll was taken, (maybe on the weekend) the latest Trump foolishness had not hit. It will go down, down, and down.

[Dave Starsky]

45. There is ALWAYS a left end of the bell curve.

Roughly 25% of adults in this country are not competent to tie their own shoes. I imagine the Venn diagram of them and Trump supporters is nearly a perfect circle.

[kimbutgar]

68. My husband works for a major airline carrier and a lot of blue collar workers still think he is

Doing a great job and use fake and hoax all the time about his CV response. Even though they are still getting paid (Thank you Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic party) my hubby points this out to them and they walk away from him. They are unwavering and listen to OANN, Fox and to hate radio on their long commutes out to the SF Bay Area suburbs. Ironically those co workers who live closer to the airport and don’t hear the hate radio are vehemently anti MF45.

[renate]

79. I like your term "hate radio"

"Right-wing radio" just doesn't cut it any more. It's hate all the way down.

[Loki Liesmith]

9. It's impossible for him to be much below 40

[Turin_C3PO]

10. I don think it will ever go below 37%.

That was his low number in 2017, I believe after his Charlottesville comments. He should be at ten percent or less, in my estimation.

[alterfurz]

38. FWIW, Nixon was still polling 28% approval just days before his resignation

[Stuart G]

46. From Mounmouth Edu.....Note the difference 33%

After the Supreme Court ordered the Oval Office tapes’ release and the Judiciary Committee actually passed articles of impeachment in late July, support for removing Nixon from office rose dramatically to 57%, while his job approval rating held steady at 24%.

https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/2017/06/12/public-opinion-on-impeachment-lessons-from-watergate/m

[belpejic]

49. Bush the Lesser at 28%

I think the chimp was around 28% when he left office. Maybe the floor is ~30%.

[NewJeffCT]

57. For an old-time DUer like me

weren't a lot of us saying the same thing about Bush in 2003 and 2004? How is his approval so high with the ongoing Iraq debacle?

[NightWatcher]

5. The librul ajenda is werking

All we had to do was kill over 143,000 people around the globe JUST TO MAKE trump LOOK BAD!!!

[Miguelito Loveless]

7. Trump "won" the election with numbers in the 40s

so, this is hardly a "crash".

[Turin_C3PO]

11. He's down quite a bit from a few weeks ago.

If his approval rating stays under 45%, he’s toast in November.

[Miguelito Loveless]

14. I am not sanguine of that reality

4 in 10 people believe this man and will do anything he commands. Trump is not going to go quietly.

[Turin_C3PO]

17. If he loses the electoral college,

he’ll be removed from the Oval Office in January whether he likes it or not. At that point, Biden would be the commander in chief and can order the Secret Service or US Marshalls to arrest him if he attempts to overstay his welcome.

[Miguelito Loveless]

26. People keep telling me that

but Trump has shown no concern for the law. Also, having replaced so many people with loyalists, there is no guarantee that law enforcement or the military will obey the law. I also see Trump directly interfering in the elections by using the NG, or soldiers to "quarantine" areas that pose a danger to public heath, i.e. Blue States.

If that fails, he can always call on his followers to form armed patrols that he will "deputize" to "protect" polling locations from "fraud". The GOP will certainly back him with voter suppression actions, and they are prepared to kill the USPS to prevent vote by mail.

[LanternWaste]

44. I see no hard evidence of that

Simply his tantrums and subjective sentiments which change on a whim.

(Approval ratings are neither objects of desire or ablative absolutes...)

[Stuart G]

58. You correct...not just toast......but totally burnt toast, through and through

[ProfessorGAC]

18. While His Rating As A Candidate...

...was very low, the delta between him and HRC was only 4.3%, aggregated. They were both deeply underwater.
Plus/minus 2%, it was a dead heat.
The delta between him & Biden is much greater. I couldn't find enough data on Biden to aggregate the numbers. But, it's closer to 2x, with Biden net positive, compared to 2016.
Still, as you suggest, GOTV & don't get cocky.

[Miguelito Loveless]

27. I am taking the day off to provide rides to the polls

so I am taking no chances.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Good On You!

That's seriously GOTV!

[uponit7771]

82. +1, ... and with help from Russia in the swing states

[Miguelito Loveless]

83. No question.

The same help he will be getting in spades in November.

[barbtries]

12. still utterly gobsmacked

that it's that high. he's literally killing people now and his cult hangs on.

[rso]

15. Gallup

Still much too high.

[John Fante]

20. Gallup has been generous to Gump throughout his presidency.

He's probably closer to 40% now.

[Yavin4]

21. Who, in the actual fuck, is satisfied with the direction of the country?

Unless 30% of the nation is Agoraphobic.

[whopis01]

80. I think that is actually close to the problem

Not agoraphobic in the literal sense, but rather in more of a social / ideological sense.

An actual agoraphobe is afraid of leaving the house, being in a wide open area, or being in a crowd.

These are people who are afraid of being exposed to thoughts and ideas outside of their narrow world view. Afraid of being in a society crowded with varying thoughts and ideas. Afraid of being exposed in the open without the comfort of completely like minded people around them.

So certainly not actual agoraphobia - but something similar.

[Grasswire2]

22. He's now 15 points underwater in latest Rasmussen!!

Wow.

40% approve
55% disapprove

[demosincebirth]

23. I'm really surprised it's that high. Really!!

[GeorgeGist]

24. How embarrassing that 43% still FAIL.

[Grasswire2]

25. of course, though, this makes him more dangerous than ever nt

[asiliveandbreathe]

32. Add in the tRumpanistas - I saw a thread this morning of a pic demonstrating

the demons yelling outside of MI Statehouse..reminded me of Zombielanders..or body snatchers..freaky scary, no other way to describe ..

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. If you are going to poll Congressional favorables, break it out between Republican and Democrat

Representitives. A poll of 'Congress' doesn't really give much insight.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. So much WINNING!

[marlakay]

31. If the next poll from yougov makes him look good

I will tell you why. I have been doing their surveys since they were polling point 14 yrs ago.

They just had me do a long survey on covid yesterday but this one showed little clips of Trump from his latest briefs and they showed just a flash of him saying something nice. On each one you were suppose to say what you thought of what he said, terrible, poor, fair, good, excellent

I said terrible for all except him saying something about this guy who died and on that i said ok.

In the comment section at end I said good try, doing a survey where you only show tiny clips of president saying nice things that he doesn’t mean written by someone else why i said all was terrible.

They usually have more fair surveys but someone must have paid big bucks to make sure he gets high ratings.

[OnDoutside]

34. Really interesting, thanks

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

33. FFS - thats about 5 or 6 points HIGHER than reported elsewhere - this is non-essential information

[sarisataka]

39. So we like Gallup today

And trust they are accurate?

[John Fante]

47. Nope. They've been generous to Trump in comparison to other pollsters

and still are. Even Rasmussen has him at 40% right now.

[treestar]

66. The way we "dislike" Gallup

would mean we would think the real approval ratings are even lower.

[sarisataka]

72. I just recall a week ago

Or thereabouts that Gallup said his rating went up. They were denigrated as being unreliable with a laundry list of reasons why their numbers are inaccurate.

Now when the same polling says his numbers are down, we seem to put a lot of faith believing they are correct (even if the exact number may not be correct)



Actually that pretty much is the case with any poll.

[TruckFump]

40. I would like to see it at a point less than 30%

Of course, if the red states and rural areas are getting hit hard with CV 19, there may be a future rating for the Orange Asshole of less than 30%.

IMO: Best name for him ever? THE DEATH PREZ.

[dalton99a]

41. The corruption, grifting and thievery will now accelerate at breakneck speed.

[lsewpershad]

52. Still too

high.

[lsewpershad]

55. Still too

high.

[Joinfortmill]

59. 43% WTF? Should be 23%

[sandensea]

62. We have Faux News and hate radio to thank for that

That lizard Powell knew what he was doing.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

60. Slipping isn't crashing. 30's or 20's hopefully next time.

And who knew how many End Timers we have. Get Gallup on that.

[Stuart G]

65. Some of this poll was taken 2 weeks to 8 days ago...Some..Trump's latest rants are not included.

"These data are from an April 1-14 Gallup poll." see link in original post.

What is most important to me, is the Trump rants from April 10 on, show he has fallen apart. Worse and worse.
Lies on top of lies. That core of undecided voters is shifting from neutral to Anti-Trump....That ugly side of Trump has been exposed clearly and in a very ugly way to those "undecided voters"..

...We know, and the Republicans know, and the media knows, but those undecided voters and those who don't know nothing, are beginning to see the truth.. And there will be no turning back. Once people see the truth, if that number is 20% shifting to Anti-Trump, then it is over in my opinion. And yes, it will go below 35% in my opinion.

[Blue Owl]

71. Nearer my God, to thee... Nearer to thee...

[Doreen]

76. Aww, what's the matter?

Did a few trump humpers get denied ventilators? Did a trump humper just realize mom could have lived if trump wasn't having the fed's steal all of the supplies to help and protect them?

[in2herbs]

78. If he believes he's screwed he's making plans to get even. After the election IMO he'll

really be dangerous as with each passing day he will realize he is that much closer to being prosecuted.

IMO, I think his lawyers are setting him up so that they can claim incompetency as will be their answer to all criminal and civil lawsuits coming his way after the election.

[Tribetime]

81. So whose actual approval is probably around 37%

Keep doing your shitshow Donnie the only one watching are the Fox nuts who are turning on you.You will never beat a pandemic

[colsohlibgal]

85. Still Troubling

Whatever percentage it is it’s frightening and too many. 43% are just fine with this evil clown show.....they have issues upstairs.
