President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have dropped to their lowest level since the start of his second term.

According to the NBC News Decision Desk Poll released on Sunday, only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president. Meanwhile, 63 percent disapprove, including 50 percent who disapprove strongly. Some of that strong disapproval comes from Trump’s handling of skyrocketing costs for most households: Among the over 32,000 American adults that NBC News surveyed over two weeks in March and April, 52 percent said they “strongly disapprove” and 16 percent “somewhat disapprove” of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living.

That’s a large disapproval jump compared to a few months ago. When NBC News asked the same inflation question to Americans last August, 45 percent noted they “strongly disapprove”—seven percentage points lower than this month’s results.

The NBC results also suggest that Trump is beginning to lose his voter base. The number of Republicans who approve of Trump’s performance on inflation sank by 10 percentage points (from 83 to 73 percent) since last summer. The poll also found that overall support for the president dropped by four percentage points (from 87 to 83 percent) among his Republican support in just two months.

37% of Americans have lost touch with reality.

    It’s just Trump fandom at this point. It clearly doesn’t matter what policies are enacted or anything he says or does, the base will never leave him. I believe he will be officially incorporated into Evangelical Christian canon after he passes - maybe a new book of the Bible with the story of Trump.

    This last third is the most dangerous third. These people are split between two groups - the ones who are so stupid that they're still on board because they like him for their own purposes, most likely racism or pedophilia (he's my guy!), or because they are Sociopathic criminals, and he provides an environment that they can ply their predatory/parasitic trade.

    The first group is likely to get violent when they are finally backed into a corner, like the J6ers, while the rest will just try to rile up the dummies to fight for THEM.

    What's left is the worst of the worst, and these are the ones we are going to have to deal with HARD, when we take it all back.

    Alright, I understand a lot of things are political in nature, but what the hell is wrong with people who see inflation go up and think, "He's doing a great job on this issue!"

    They don’t see inflation going up. Stuff was already expensive, they’ve become accustomed to stuff being expensive. And their bubble tells them the economy is improving even if they can’t see it. So they believe it.

    They’re used to believing things without evidence.

    Please stop blaming the people, they have been sequestered by the oligarch media, we have lost the fourth power, and that is the priority.

    This polling results are damming in that direction, now only cultural revolution can brin this brainwashing down.

    No matter how many articles I see about Trump's popularity tanking, it's ALWAYS 37% of the population that supports him. I wonder what's up with that. Like why that exact number? Does about a 3rd of the population have brain damage or something?

    Because a third of the US was trained from birth to think that the Dems are literal baby eating Satan worshipers.

    They sit there and think "at least trump doesn't want to kill the babies, just fuck them"

    Remember that, even at the point at which Nixon got on a helicopter and flew off in utter disgrace and shame, he still had people supporting him. 24%. Nearly 1 in 4.

    And boy, those people were pissed that he got what they thought was a raw deal by the "liberal media". Any conservative adults in my life would go on about it, even as Ronnie Raygun's crew was wrecking America, they still had a burning resentment about it. If I recall, people like Ann Coulter spent some time writing about it.

    Faux "News" and hate radio were born out of that seething hatred for the truth.

    And that's why America is fucked. You don't need to convince 50% of Americans to be reasonable, you need to convince 80% of decent Americans to be reasonable. There's literally only 20% margin of error in the people not in a cult to keep the place running.

    I think the only way to get out of this mess is to let the whole thing fall apart. I can't even convince my own sisters to get off of fucking Twitter and Facebook, and they know how bad it is! There's no way any critical mass of people are going to give enough of a shit to fight unless we're all homeless. It really feels that way.

    I think a lot of people are incurious as well. My own sister thinks Israel "had every right to go to war" and thinks I am some sort of hippie for only ever caring about the harm done to Palestinians. She knows every historical detail about LGBTQ issues, but had never heard of the Nakba, doubts my description of it, and isnt interested in hearing anything about it.

    She will stand for her rights, and any female candidate, but I guess everyone else can go fuck themselves. Its difficult.

    for what its worth, there are no trump flags in my fl neighborhood for the first time ever and i over heard two old men complaining about the economy in a supermarket isle and about having to go on support for the first time in his life, all I could overhear distinctly was "at least with clinton we got". Purely anecdotal and these vermin that support him are good at crawling under dirt when it suits them, but who knows

    only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president

    That is still almost 100 million people saying "this is fine". They must be completely decoupled from reality, and that is scary.

    What's wrong with those 37%?

    Well some have a 'team sports' ideology where your team is your team, no matter what may come. So you always support 'your team' or else you are a bad person. Nevermind that 'your team' displays no loyalty to you and screws you...

    What's scary is that beyond Trump's 37%, there's still some people that will now badmouth Trump and what he has done, and perhaps their biggest worry is that because Trump did so badly, the Republicans will lose power. They get actively screwed on economy and foreign wars while the party cheers on and they still say "well at least they aren't democrats"

    Then there's the folks that are at least happy that they are grabbing hispanics off the streets. Was exposed to a conservative ranting about wasting our resources in Venezula, of being too cozy with Israel especially with the Iran war, and even going so far as to blame the Israeli relationship for the death of Charlie Kirk... But at least he was doing something about those scary Mexicans...

    Mid 30s is when the bad stuff like impeachment or resignation becomes possible, but it needs to stay there for more than a few weeks.
