Trump's net approval rating on LA - way, way underwater at -15 points... this is happening on what should be on Donald Trump's best issue ... he's losing on his core issue"

What the hell is it going to take the other 40% to disapprove of this? Masked and unmarked men along with the nationalized guard and the Marines, a lethal fighting group trained for war, hunting immigrants who in many cases have no criminal history. What does it take for FOTUS to go too far?

Says who? You? Him? Who do you think we are? Russia? North Korea? I don't think you understand who Americans really are at their core and what we stand for and will allow. Don't get it twisted and don't tell us what to do

Aaron, Do you really think that Trump gives two plague tinged rat poops about his ratings? Do you really think they are going to cede power after the next presidential election? He absolutely plans on that not happening, an election. He will order troops to shoot at Americans, any minute now.

CNN's poll reporter drives me crazy. His exaggerated actions make me wonder if he started as a mime. And he should be banned from using the word "underwater."

Call me selfish, but I have a problem with the term “ approval “ ratings, when it used referring to taco 🌮!!! DISAPPROVAL RATINGS are a more accurate term, in my ( and apparently the majority) opinion !!!!

yeah.. well, but that was before the right wing propaganda machine had a chance to ramp it up and put out all the false info about rioting in LA and how evil all cities and libs are and how they need to deploy to all blue areas to control them.

Negative polling in one city - even one as large as LA - and perhaps especially in LA - will not dissuade Trump from his course of action. Nor is it enough for MAGA Republicans who support him. If your goal is to designate someone as an enemy then you don’t give a fuck what they think.

The only ones still on the Trump train are the ones whose brains are mush from the kool-aid. He hasn't done a damn thing right or good. Nothing that benefits the American people. He has done plenty for himself and his rich buddies.

Actually, I don't think that is all the way true about our Allies. The PM of Canada has been standing up for the US for a while now. France has as well. Review the footage of G7, and our allies have been quietly standing with the American people, but not TFG. He was a laughing stock at G7, again.

This should be a lesson learned to Democrats that when you stand up for your principles and what is RIGHT, not what is poll-tested, you can actually sway public opinion. Republicans have been doing it for decades but on the evil side of things, by appealing to ppls worst, most basic impulses.

Yep. It's like everyone forgot the lesson of Obama using intelligent principled opposition to the Iraq war even when everyone else was going headlong into "WMD" talking points He stood his ground and when he was proven right it vaulted him to the White House

It's almost as though people have realized his "core issue" is attacking people in America so that the majority is intimidated into minority control. bsky.app/profile/atru...

All elections coming forward have to deal with a new front-> absolutely -transparency- since we all know that Elon Musk rigged the election on Trumps favor-that's what 250 million dlls-gets U now days

But did we lose this last election? There is enough information available to show that the results (where the evidence hasn't been thrown in a fire) need a review. Statistically, it is EXCEEDINGLY unlikely that Trump won all swing states by just enough margin to not trigger a detailed recount.

Do you think that if we stop fighting we’ll somehow start winning? Do you want to tell Black and Latino people, trans people and immigrants, scientists and college students and everyone else targeted by this administration, “Sorry, we weren’t winning enough so we gave up”?

What does this mean in battleground states that decide the election? We were so confident with Harris but polling was a sham. Trump voters do NOT tell the truth to pollsters, any surprise there? How is any poll meaningful when the other side lies to pollsters? They’re not.

The Rs are still completely in power. Approval ratings and demonstrations don’t mean much if the Trump regime won’t respond. He hasv3.5 years to wreck things. He can ignore his subjects.

Can I just throw something out here? If Trump and his band dictatorship dickheads like Vought and Miller want to run this place like a police state where resistance is quieted and shut down with military in the streets, why would he give a fuck what his “approval” rating is?

You are correct, Trump and his backers don't care what any of us think, not even the voters. But, these sorts of things still matter as there are a lot of folks in this country who may not like what Trump is doing but are too frightened to actually do or say anything against it. These types of /1

they are ratings to him and they very much matter as he constantly insults polls such as these, miller on the other hand is devoid of human emotion & revels in the suffering of others, he thinks upping the cruelty will boost trump’s ratings

But he will just say anything that makes him look unpopular is illegitimate, rigged or false. This is such an exercise in futility reporting on this administration like its any other president in the last 40 years

He can try to say this is a fake news report, but it's not what he says at this point. It's the poll numbers themselves. More than half the country disapproves of it. What that clip didn't talk about was how many Republicans disapprove. Hint.. most polled are usually Republicans.

EXACTLY! But it's not popularity anymore, it's $$$ for Trump, Inc. GOPers don't care - it's their safe space. They'll keep doing what they do because neither our flawed system nor the people can stop the chaos. #ThanksSCOTUS I'm really scared, but I'm old; however I fear for the future of US.

Even dictators who rule with minority support can't completely ignore their popularity. I get that we're in a bad spot here, and that his unpopularity doesn't hurt him nearly as much as it ought to. But don't make the mistake of concluding that unpopularity doesn't matter at all.

Trump simultaneously wants to be an autocrat that crushes all opposition like a bug, and be a beloved and respected statesman/celebrity cheered by many. It's one reason why he keeps hedging on whether he wants to bomb Iran or not.

unpopular dictators get overthrown, and it's not pretty for them when it happens. they need more than 50% disapproval to lose sure, but when enough angry people storm the palace the livestream will be gory.

Fascists are incompetent and not able to deliver on the promises they make. They need a combination of fear and scapegoating to maintain power. The more they are revealed as incompetent the more the power structure crumbles and the fear goes away.

yeah. legacy news media (like CNN), all of which is owned and controlled by the billionaire investor class, has no interest in a well-informed populace or anything beyond surface-level changes. they continue the horse-race narrative and to give us a culture war, so that we don't start a class war.

It's not about what he thinks, it's about the other R's think who will be affected, who are running for office. There are a lot of R's holding house seats in California. Trump is old, but there are Republicans who aren't.

Dictatorships rarely get established if they're not popular, at least at first. That's really important. Trump has never been very popular, and he's getting less so. The backlash matters.

I hate these polls. A better poll Q would be whether you disapprove because he's gone too far or he's not gone far enough. I assure you that a sizeable number of what the media calls "independents" are hard right fascists who desperately want to see liberal blood running in the streets.

Donald Trump DOES NOT CARE. He already achieved everything he sought when buying and manipulating this election (thanks for the hacking Elon). He is not in Jail, he has made more money since the election than he has made in any other year of his life, and he is dictator. Polls don't matter

According to the fascist majority SCOTUS, states rights only apply to fascist republican states that take away a women's rights to their own fking bodies. Or voting rights, divertresity, equity, inclusion rights and on and on and on.

I feel compelled to say, I’m properly shocked by the size of the minority who DON’T think he’s gone to far and are ok with the ICE raids. A very significant number of people think this is ok! USA is more f*cked than I had thought.

You know who gets blamed for this? When he gets around to freaking out over it? Miller.. Stephen Miller gets on hold this shit bag.. 😂🥤🍿💺

Narcissists always care whether people like them, even if they say or act otherwise. Also besides the point…polls show people who may be afraid to speak out or who think they’re alone to make their voices heard. It’s a collaborative tool. Fuck what that idiot thinks.

No the protesters purpose was to save themselves and their neighbors from being sent to prison camps. Rump is just the asshole who sent ICE there. His approval rating is not considered other than that!

Trump doesn’t care about poll numbers. He’s not running for re-election . He wanted to set a precedent that he could call up the military on the slightest of pretexts. A federal appeals court just ruled in his favor. He won.

Like he has choices everyday: give kids lunch we pay as a society bc we want our next generation nourished; help people come to this country after saving our soldiers lives; allow people to protest and say how they want the land they live in to be. Yet he chooses poorly everyday
