4 are fine with this. Which is terrifying.
This. The take home here is that the people are still 40% stupid.
I mean.....6 years ago it was 48%.
So that's......progress?
Im assuming nice chunk died from covid and old age?
The important question is how many of that 60% would vote for him or another R, again.
And that answer is going to be depressingly high.
Pretty much any conservative I've talked to insists that Kamala Harris would be "just as bad." No matter how badly they think their golden boy is doing, they'll always convince themselves he's still the best pick.
Keep in mind that according to the US Department of Education, 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level.
Also, I have read elsewhere that nearly 20% of Americans are functionally illiterate. I wonder how many of these people vote.
Not necessarily; some will have answered non-committally or less disapprovingly. I think the article states that only 23% approve.
"He's doing a bad job" is pretty strong disapproval you usually don't hear from the gen pop.
And let me just add that our language of political discourse has eroded during the past decade; one can read more and more Trump-speak ("bad job") in headlines, it's being adopted.
Our language of political discourse currently ranges from meh to WHY DO YOU SUPPORT A LITERAL GENOCIDE YOU COMPLICIT FUCK!?!
4 in 10 Americans be like
Oh look, another 6/10 survey. File it with the “2/3 of Americans aren’t massive idiots” and “60 to 70% of people agree good things are good and bad things are bad” surveys.
It’s the drawer next to the “51% vote for nonsense” drawer.
4 in 10 are fucking dipshits.
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.
4 in 10 are propagandized to shit
No, at least 3 in 10 genuinely agree with what he's doing, have always thought this way, and are glad that behavior like his can be shown out in the open without consequences now.
4 outa 10 people are fucking stupid.
4 in 10 aren't paying attention and/or are bad people and bad citizens.
Not paying attention isn't an excuse after a decade. They're bad people at best and traitors at worst.
Four in ten Americans are mentally impaired
I cannot say that the UK is very much smarter, but 40% of the US is dumb as shit.
And the other 40% are idiots…
In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.
The delta V requirements to launch them into the sun are just way too wasteful. Let's do the other option.
And 4/10 don't understand why Homelander is a bad guy
4 in ~~6~~ 10 Americans are why I have no hope for humanity.
Plenty of dumb racist pedo protecting bastards in the survey.
Unfortunately it seems that 8 in 10 Americans also think the Democrats are "just as bad".
8/10 Americans think Trump is bad but Kamala laughed funny
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..
Always that 30-40%.
Only 6 in 10!!!!!!!!!!!??????
That means they'll gerrymander that 40% to the top, block votes from as many as they can from the 60% and ICE the people that would decrease that 40% even a bit.
The other 40 percent are my grandparents.
40% of Americans say president is not doing a bad job.
weird, 6 in 10 Americans didn't turn up to vote against him
Thats a hell of an understatement.
6:4, isn't that the ratio its always been?
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up.
More than 8 of 10 Germans think our Chancellor is doing a shit job
How nice of him to unite the country in these politically divided times.
The others are in a cult.
Am I misremembering previous polls? I could have sworn this has been about what his approval has been ever since his first term.
Bad job is very charitable I would put it as sundowning.
Wake me up from this hell when that poll means something.
also: 6 out of 10 would vote for Trump if he were on the ballot tomorrow
Those numbers are higher than the 30% that voted for him. Sounds like he’s doing well.
Chat, we’re pretty sure those numbers are wrong… more like 9/10
It would be better if that could be gotten up to 9 in 10 Americans say the president is doing a bad job, so he can be gotten out of there due to his threats of ending an entire civilization.
