Well, what do you expect. Fox News is owned by that arch-Marxist Rupert Murdoch.

 

 

Don't think Fox has that much choice of the official portait.

     The very low approval rating shows the worst president in US history has only gotten worse.  I'm surprised that 44% of the Kool-Aid drinkers still approve of his wrecking of America.

Don't think you luvvies get it.

Of course Trumps ratings will be lower - there is some pain in getting big things done. Things that both Dem and GOP Administrations have kicked down the road for way too long.

For all the carping of the increasingly irrelevant MSM, much has already been achieved, which the likes of NYT and WP blithely ignore, just as they did Biden's health. Can you luvvies think of many? There are some big ones there.

Because so much has to be done in a relatively short period of time, the US is having to take some medicine now - no relying on the timid status quo, ever increasing debt, waistlines and putrid anti-west, pro all sorts of silly ideologies.

Let's review his ratings in two years as we might be well on the way to a much better US than last few decades.

You mean like taking steps to greatly increase the national debt?

Based on my 68 years on this planet such statistics are of little real use. Except to start arguments between mόrόns (in the case of this forum)

What a fantastic response. Kudos to you, sir....

So the "uncomfortable truth" is staring the US public in the face, courtesy of Fox News and IMO it is only going to get worse, mainly because of America's huge indebtedness and the fact that poor old trump really doesn't have much in the way of grey matter and it is very clearly outlined in the following opinion piece, again from my local newspaper: –

 

"How America’s indebtedness is trimming Donald Trump’s wings.

We live in a world so turbulent, the only certainty is the existence of uncertainty.
However, we can be mildly assured that some guardrails remain in place that are constraining the wrecking ball that is United States President Donald Trump.

We aren’t talking laws, agreements or institutions. Rather, these guardrails are comprised of investors from around the world that the US Government is indebted to – the “bond vigilantes”.
Trump needs interest rates to fall to stimulate growth and ease the cost of servicing the US’ big pile of government debt.

Yet the more brazen he gets with tariff policies and threats to erode the independence of the Federal Reserve, the riskier he makes investing in US Government debt, otherwise known as bonds or treasuries.
If investors believe they’re taking on more risk, they’ll demand higher returns.

Given the US’ net debt is nearing 100% of Gross Domestic Product its interest costs are material.
Indeed, they’re so eye-watering, a spike in US Government bond yields a fortnight ago pushed Trump to announce a 90-day pause on his proposed tariff hikes for countries other than China".

President Donald Trump’s approval rating is sinking ― and not even Fox News can spin it.

The right-wing network, which is usually a safe space for the MAGA faithful, on Wednesday shared its latest poll numbers, which show the president’s approval rating is now far behind every other 21st-century president at a similar point.

Trump’s approval rating is 44% at almost 100 days in office, compared with 54% for Joe Biden, 62% for Barack Obama and 63% for George W. Bush at the same point.

david hogg sent me an email and told me that the democrats are polling at 26%.

I think you are deflecting. You post poll ratings at the time when there is a big tariff dispute and people are worried how it will turn out. Those numbers can change greatly if all those countries negotiate a better trade deal, including China. It could also fall to a lot less if his gamble on the trade fails. 

 

Polls are a reflection of people's views at the time they are taken, any idiot would know the ratings go up and down according to the circumstances prevailing at the time of polling.

Agree!

There is no doubt that he's had the worst hundred days in the history of the American presidency. I was just speaking to a friend this evening who is quite conservative and who was attempted to defend Trump, and even he had admitted that though some of his policies might be defensible, his methods were idiotic and extremely rash and causing an incredible amount of instability. Trump is at least partially insane, and highly unstable.

And surrounding himself exclusively with lickspittles. This cannot end well.

Well, this is a 100 day poll, which is a standard thing in Septic politics. You probably have access to more data. but maybe you can share data for other presidents from 100 days and past.

 

45th and 46th President ratings

 

 

 

 

 

In both cases, the 100 days mark was nearer their high water approval; ie that was as good as it coukd get, The so-called Honeymoon period when people give the Benefit of the Doubt. While events surrounding Tariffs might improve, other events will conspire to wipe out the benefit. For instance, a deal on tariffs with China will not create new jobs the next day. If there are benefits to the working man, they won't feel themfor 5 years. Any deal will undoubtedly result on higher prices in the shops; those Chinese goods won't disappear, a they will be more expensive. American made goods won't instantly replace them, at least, not at an affordable price. Interest rates will weigh in on most home owners and people with cars. Interest rates will impact companies.. Americans also do care how they are viewed in the world, and are aware of the headlines. Ukraine is a clearly divisive issue, just like coming to the aid of Britain was a divisive issue in the past.

 

Americans are very religious, One cannot deny the iconigraphy of the 47th President and Zelensky meeting in St Peter;s Bascillica; literally the House of God. America will be divided mainly between those with utter sympathy and support for Ukraine, many others who cannot understand the causes and a tiny minority who emphatically support Russia (just like there were a tiny number of Americans who were stong supporters of Hitler). I think the simple image might steer some fence sitters into deciding who is on the Side of the Angels, and its not Putin. So the outcome of the war in Ukraine might also become to heavily influence support for the President (note hardly anyone cares anymore about Iran). If Ukraine fails and falls, then there will be a perception thats occurred because America failed them. Look at what happened to Gerald Ford, when America abandoned South Vietnam.

 

Clinton was the last President increase his early ratings

 

 

And of course, Roosevelt

 

 

 

For all the others, they were fighting a losing war. Some, like Reagan, might have won some battles, but ultimately, they left office less popular than when they entered.

 

 

(I suspect early lower approval rating for Reagan was still based on the premise that he was just some dumb C-movie actor, with low expectations). Halcyon days, when even a President accused of gun running to the enemy could recover from that reasonably well.

 

For laughs, Noxon, an actual crook.

They continue to tell me, once or twice a month, that they have not seen a donation from me.   They ask for donations in every single email, without fail.

 

I have been getting those emails since 2010, haven't donated even one tiny satang!
