Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
He’s the only President to never reach 50% approval, yet he’s been elected twice.
That’s all the evidence you need to know that our election system is broken.
The fact that even if all the non-voters voted for a mix of third parties, it would still net the same result under this system, tells you all you need to know about FPTP.
Your people are rock chewing stupid, that’s the big issue
As long as you need those “Rock chewing stupid” people to win an election, and you keep thinking of them as such, you will KEEP losing elections
Those “rock chewing stupid” people are LITERALLY American workers. You know, the people that for good or bad keep the country running?
And then democrats have the gall to call themselves the party of the worker man.
Pathetic
People really hate women presidential candidates apparently.
Lol no. Studies have been done about this. The average voter doesn’t give five shits if the candidate is a man or a woman.
3 chances at guessing what the average voter cares about.
Hint: it’s not gender policies, pronouns or social culture wars
That must be it. No other lesson to be learnt.
The important thing to remember is that this doesn’t matter at all. If you’re a progressive who is overwhelmed by the state of affairs and looking for a hint of good news, this aint it.
This will affect nothing
