A trio of political polls indicate public approval of Donald Trump’s management of the US economy, immigration and the Iran conflict is slipping, flashing warning lights for Trump-aligned Republican candidates with six months to go until the US midterm elections.

Polls by Reuters-Ipsos poll, Strength in Numbers-Verasight and AP-NORC had the president’s approval rating hovering in the mid-30s, at 36%, 35% and 33% respectively, which are near his lowest numbers.

The AP-NORC center for public affairs research poll published on Monday found that seven in 10 Americans described the economy as poor and think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The poll showed that Trump’s handling of the economy has fallen to 30% approval, down from 38% in March, while 72% said the country is headed in the wrong direction, a figure unchanged since February. Just 23% approve of how he is handling the cost of living, while 76% disapprove.

    Those are rookie numbers, we need to keep going!

    Trump likes his approval ratings like he likes his women, in the teens.

      Change needs to be a mass movement thing or it will fail. Polls can give us a better idea of how to make change happen.

        The polls said Harris would win and then less people voted.

        Not only do I not trust polls, I think their usage is an encumberance which makes people think that they don’t have to do any additional effort.

    Warning signs? What, like the consistent double digit over performance in all the special elections?

    The facts remain the same. Republicans will vote in a bloc for all republicans, MAGAt or MAGA-adjacent, and progressive voters will stay home because their primary choice lost and the resulting candidate once said they didn’t plan to abolish all police.

    Result: sweep for republicans. Fascism bakes in.

    Next verse, same as the first.

      Polls don’t mean shit. Repulicans will always vote R, or not vote, but they will never cross the boundary to vote for “DEMONrats”. The propaganda is so thoroughly in their core.

        Doesn’t matter, Republican base is less than 50%. They can’t win any election without independent voters.

        In 2024, independent voters were 34% of the electorate. 46% of independents voted for Trump, 49% for Harris

        Trump is polling -40% with independent voters right now

    polls are meaningless, since many republicans, including one i know still support this sex fiend, as long as the propaganda machines and right wing talking heads are saying hes the contrary, it wont waiver. only ever saw rare instance of a republican turning against him a few times, and its usually older folks, mostly women. like that one JAN6 rioter who admitted a mistake and dint accept trumps pardon, its was an older white woman, and another during the election though republicans became to mean to old people. R Men have fully bought into the manosphere.
