'Donald Trump Receives His Worst Ever Approval Rating'

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-receives-his-worst-ever-approval-rating-11398695

"President Donald Trump has recorded the lowest approval rating of his second term, according to new polling from the American Research Group (ARG), which shows the president’s standing with the public continuing a long downward slide.

The latest survey finds Trump at 35 percent approval and 63 percent disapproval, yielding a net approval of –28 points—his worst recorded by ARG since the Republican's return to office. The findings also show that just 32 percent of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, while 64 percent disapprove."

It couldn't happen to a worse person!

Polls don't lie, do they?

The Newsweek article referd to an American Research Group (ARG) poll conducted among a national sample of 1,100 adults between January 16 and 20, 2026. It carries a standard margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

The poll finds President Donald Trump's approval rating at 35%—the lowest of his second term.

Wow. Only 35%.

Yet, he won the 2024 election with a lower percentage of the eligible votes.

To understand how, look at the electorate: he secured the presidency with votes from approximately 30% of the total voting-eligible population. A staggering 37% of eligible voters did not vote at all.

Does this not then mean that his current 35% approval—over a year into his second term—actually represents a consolidation and even a slight expansion of his political base since taking office? At the very least, it confirms the ironclad loyalty of his core supporters.

The US system is designed to produce clear Electoral College winners, not national unity. A president can hold power while nearly 70% of the eligible population did not, and still does not, support him. The constant focus on swing-state margins meant his 2024 victory was never about national approval ratings, but about state-level results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Trump's chronically low national approval is probably real, but it was also the precise mathematical foundation of his 2024 victory—and it's a foundation that appears to have grown slightly stronger since!

American politics, as demonstrated, is not about converting opponents; it's about turning out your side in the right zip codes.

Trump will probably go after that dodgy polling company that he thinks faulsified results in the last election.

Cant wait for him to lose the midterms. It will bring great joy
