44% is not sinking. What has that number moved, 1.3%?
These are the 4 in 10 who didn't vote then.
So 44% think he's doing terribly, 21% are an even mix, 10% don't know. That's 75%. One can only assume that the remaining 25% think he's doing a great job. I also imagine that there is an element of the shy conservative in these responses so the actual figure is probably like 30-40% think he's doing pretty good.
Hands down, the worst president, twice.
How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource? This incontinent incompetent asshole is qualified to sit in a fucking jail cell, that's it. God this country is stupid...
Like it or not (I don't) the horrific immigration policies get a lot of support. Other countries are taking notice too.
Germany is considering removing German citizenship to dual passport holders if they are deemed "extremists" (but with no clear definition of what that means and how it would be determined).
Since before Trump 2, Italy has already had its own camp in Albania for immigrants and it's share of friction with judges who said these deportations were illegal.
Also "let Russia have Ukraine, why do we care" has enjoyed the sort of support people are ashamed to admit but that translates to votes to all the worst politicians.
How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource?
No, but there are millions who basically do not consume news outside of social media. And as you see on social media, people constantly complain about having to see "politics" and many try to block anything regarding that.
I was venting... I work with people who complain that they were inconvenienced by protesters but also wont listen to why they were protesting... I feel tired and old.
Hell it happens here on Lemmy. And tbh I've thought about doing it too, shit's way too depressing right now.
6 in ten Americans are complete imbeciles I guess
4 in 10 Americans have an IQ above 12.
And the other six? racist illiterate scumbags.
Could be a sampling bias. If you take 100 people at random from each state, the results would favor Trump. But 100 people is a larger percentage of red states than it is of blue states.
If you reword it as "4 out of 10 square miles think Trump is a bad president", it makes more sense, if you compare it to a political alignment map.
The world is full of dumb people shocker
Only 4-in-10? That's disappointing
It's why the US will fail, quickly.
Bunk survey.
“He’s really doing the stuff that he said he was going to do,” Tanner Bergstrom, a 29 year old Republican from Minnesota, told the Associated Press. He added that Trump is “not making a bunch of promises and getting into office and nothing happens. … I really like that. Even if it’s some stuff I don’t agree with, it’s still doing what he said he was going to do.”
He’s a Nazi, but at least he’s an honest Nazi.
I did Nazi that coming.
Honestly, as a sane person yes I do like honest Nazis more than lying Nazis. But do you know what I like more than honest Nazis? People who aren't a Nazi, I like those way the fuck more than honest Nazis which apparently puts us in the minority in this shit hole of a county
The other 6 are in comas.
At least 4 are nazis
Amazing that so many don’t think that. The media must be working overtime to hide such a mess from so many.
Not really. This work has been done over decades. Most Americans get their news from Fox or Facebook, both of which are intentionally misinforming people on a daily basis.
Shows that Trump is not the problem. He is the symptom.
