it would be cool to see national polling data where we stop pretending like this is a democracy, and show a breakout of electoral support by income percentile (since class relation usually has to be inferred).

i bet among the top 3%, trump is like +70% approval. not that they would answer a survey, unless tricked.

    I bet the opposite. I bet the top 1-10% have the lowest approval rating of Trump and it spikes once you get to the 0,1% or even the 0,01%. The wealthy-but-not-ultrawealthy don't like Trump because they're not part of the tiny inner circle currently looting the country. Those people are generally libs or civility-pilled conservatives, high information voters who are comfortable with the status quo and don't like how much Trump is rocking the boat. Top 3% isn't "Fuck you" money yet. The percentage of people actually materially benefitting from the Trump admin right now is way, way smaller than that.

    If you had millions/billions of dollars would you be answering any surveys?

    You might remember that his numbers during his first term ranged from 34% to 44%. Least variation of any president since they started polling.

    He is right in the middle of that range, it is par for the course, and he can keep on sticking to the plan without really caring what his real approval ratings are. In fact, he's been pushing to do that ever since he took office for the first time.

    47% of white Americans is still 32% of the population, which is easily enough to keep the oligarchy running. The fraction of Americans that are outright fascist is probably enough to do that.

    I love how everytime I read an article titled ‘Trump approval rating reaches historical lows’, the number is somehow always 42%. It literally just stays the same every single time

    , and the comments are always the same celebratory bullshit

    I’ve been reading the same article for 9 years now.

    The last time Trump's approvals were this low was right after he caught covid and then he promptly lost to Joe Biden of all people, so maybe we can dispense with the doomerism for like five minutes, especially considering we're not looking at general approval but the lowest lows he's ever hit with whites, particularly young whites, even in the south

    I mean sure, but what, if anything, does this "approval rating" affect? What happens if he gets even lower approval ratings? Nothing. Trump can just continue to do the same shit.

    A safeguard against Trump pulling a coup in 2028, Republicans losing state legislatures in red states, losing governor races, a chilling effect against right-wing culture in general, a wider pool of people for us to radicalize, an outward pressure on other demographics to dump the Republicans, political and cultural ammunition to tear establishment dems a new over their closeness to Republicans....etc

    I'm sorry but a majority of the cracker youth in the American South dumping Trump is a big deal, like let's get real, this shit has ripple effects

    They could very well be "dumping Trump" because he's not deporting enough people and hasn't implemented the right wing culture war shit that they wanted. The only safeguard against Trump pulling a coup in 2028 is mass organizing, not voter disapproval. Hitler pulled a coup and did a total takeover with only around 30% support; no reason Trump, with the vast apparatus of the US state available to him, cannot do the same. Hell, you can argue he already has.

    A big looming question is what happens when Trump is no longer in office. Republicans who want to get re-elected when he's gone care about approval ratings, especially if the negative polling includes parts of their base.

    Most of these guys were anti-Trump at some point. I don't think they all believe he'll seize indefinite power somehow and they'll all be forever insulated from elections.

    FYI if you want to get into the nitty griddy make sure to break it down by state, southern whites are absolute scum and Indiana is a shithole

    True that, when I lived in the Midwest the one thing we knew about Indiana was that it was KKK central.

    This is really good data presentation and interactivity. Interesting to look state by state for crackers - where are the wokest white people? They are in the whitest state (Vermont, 75% disapproval) and the least white state (Hawaii, 78% disapproval.)

    Vermont truly is a weird state. Despite the state being very rural, the honkeys in Vermont don’t really think like other honkeys

    52% of white college graduates aged 50-64 approve of this.

    approval drops to 36% among the same cohort with post graduate degrees

    If nothing, chuds are damn fucking loyal to the GOP. Even if they don't personally like Donald Trump, he owns the libs and gives the piggies their slop and that's all that matters.

    Holy shit, I was digging deeper and looking over the age breakdowns of white people in the south and Trump has lost the white 18-34 age range, IN THE SOUTH lmao

    White Georgians: 44% approval - 47% disapproval, 18-34

    White South Carolinians: 42% approval - 51% disapproval, 18-34

    White Floridians: 45% approval - 49% disapproval, 18-34

    White Texans: 37% approval - 58% disapproval, 18-34
