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.
The fact that he isnt even less popular than his last election scares me. The guy has proven himself time and time again in the spotlight to be evil, moronic, really any negative adjective you can think of, and he still has supporters. More, even. How? *
And the thing people are most upset about is renaming the Gulf. What in the absolute fuck?
Trans people are attempting to flee the country fearing for their lives
…and the thing people care about is the fucking Gulf of Mexico getting renamed
That’s the whole point. Deflect real controversy with stupid sound bites.
Because people in this country have the memory of a fucking goldfish. I’m sure it’s going to drop hard in a week.
I need to know the content of the footnote.
The how is people who disprove of him being more than willing to allow him to win an election because they say there is no difference between him and his opponent. That is up till he is elected and then they suddenly realize how much worse he actually is.
Yeah, the people that believed the trolls and the fake left and the Enlightened Centrists ™ going on about gEnOcIdE and bOtHsIdEs are going to have Pikachu face for the next 4 years (if we are lucky that it’s only that long).
Enlightened Centrist??? Centrists tend to be the pragmatic ones who looked to vote for biden and then harris and the genociden biden always seem to identify with far left in my experience here anyway. Heck I don’t even consider myself a centrist so much but I am pragmatic and I do find when talking to the far left I definitely appear center to them and to the right (because there is not moderate right that I can see) I am apparently the biggest woke, lefty, communist type like biden or obama.
