    Kind of amazing on the break out seeing how much republican poll support he’s still getting.

    NEW Economist/YouGov Apr 20-22 % who approve | disapprove of Trump’s job performance

    U.S. adult citizens 41% | 54%

    Last week 42% | 52%

    Start of term 49% | 43%

    • Democrats 7% | 92%
    • Independents 30% | 59%
    • Republicans 86% | 12%
    • Men 45% | 49%
    • Women 37% | 59%

        There are brain dead on both sides of the aisle, unfortunately. Ever heard someone say something you vehemently agree with, then explain why they think that and it makes you question your own viewpoint coming to the same conclusion as that the dumb shit you just heard? Like “We need to tax the rich, because if you dont tax the rich, they can will buy up all of the beaches for themselves and we wont have any more sand to make glass with and I need new windows.”

        That 7% is probably a bunch of smooth brains saying “let him cook” thinking he is playing long con becuase he was a registered dem 30+ years ago and is tearing it all down to rebuild the leftist utopia they dream of.

          Or people who hate society and are actually loving it that he’s destroying it.

          Or people who can’t read.

        JOSH So, if we’re lucky, foreign aid’s going to be funded for another 90 days at 75 cents on the dollar. No one who’s ever said they wanted bipartisanship has ever meant it. But the people are speaking. Because 68% think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59% think it should be cut.

        WILL You like that stat?

        JOSH I do.

        WILL Why?

        JOSH Because 9% think it’s too high, and shouldn’t be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, “I have utterly no idea what you’re talking about. Please, God, don’t ask for my input.”

        You always find some weird, contradictory results in polls. Like people who say taxes shouldn’t be raised, but also think there should be a higher inheritance tax. This happens so frequently that the lack of weird results is evidence of falsified poll.

        Think of stupid people as basically AI. They just copy what’s around them and approximate an opinion without really understanding any of it. They’re just followers.

        They follow along when they’re surrounded by Democrats, and then they move somewhere else and they’re surrounded by Republicans, and they still follow along. They don’t publicly renounce their old beliefs because they haven’t actually put that much thought into it. It’s all surface level.

      He’ll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.

        I have a feeling that only when fox news starts saying he is bad, will the republican supporters also get on board. They don’t see what fox don’t want them to see. USA has a propaganda problem.

      Well, he destroyed the federal government, and he’s locking up brown people while trampling all over their constitutional rights. Naturally, the Republicans love him.

      The sole goal of the republican party and its voters is to kill anyone and anything in their way of power.
