Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.

Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

    As was predicted because this entirely predictable outcome of making him president is exactly what was expected. And guess what? It’s going to get worse.

      Poll yesterday said 26% approval rating, which is a record in the US. The title should be 2.6/10. The Guardian probably sought out Trump supporters in particular?

      They are just as bad. Or more accurately they are the same thing. They are both classical liberals and a classic liberal democracy is not viable. Capitalists with free reign.

      Given the power of data aggregation, modeling, think tanks and llm human voters are a solved puzzle. At this point they are just testing the models.

      “Says here we can do x and that will only move 3% of the electorate”. “REALLY!!” “Yep”.

      The whole thing has to burn and we need some ground up reconstruction of our political system. Otherwise it’s just a dystopian cyberpunk future.

        As someone who voted for Kamala Harris… I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate… relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran…

          sentient

          Arguable, he has zero internal monologue and has to express everything he comes up with immediately out loud. If he’s sentient, a LLM is too.

          That is 100% fair but it’s irrelevant. At this point it doesn’t matter what skeletons she had in her closet or what she supported because there is NOTHING she could support that would be worse than what we currently have.

    Lol.

    Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we’re only at 6 of 10?

    This nation is a fucking clown car flying off a cliff made of clowns into a black hole of endless Mandelbrot clowns.

    To be clear, this country is far, far too stupid for anything other than continued collapse to happen even after this pedophile is being eaten by worms.

      Well hey they didn’t ask me. Sounds like they didn’t ask you either. I dunno who is even answering these things.

      Sounds like they’re missing a lot of Americans in these surveys! I bet it’s more like 8 or 9 out of 10 if the survey was more obviously available.

    Those numbers are higher than the 30% that voted for him. Sounds like he’s doing well.

    In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.

        Normally the number of maga psychos hovers around 33%. And Trump has done such a spectacularly bad job for everyone excepting the rich that I thought it would at least be 7 out of 10.

        Americans never cease to amaze me in the power of their undying hatred of themselves and anyone who isn’t white.
