Elections Trump's approval rating

[Rod1]

It wasn't? Interesting. I remember Obama introducing a "bathroom bill" at around that time. You know, the one that cost North Carolina an NBA All Star game? That's when this shit kicked off. Maybe read up a bit more, before you pop off.

Trans issues was absent from Republican primaries, don't pretend that its what made Trump beat Cruz and Kasich

You keep telling yourself that, big guy.

Im not talking to you, you are clearly a true believer of daddy Trump, even as he threatens to annex your "fake country"

But it was not absent from the Democrat party. Your entire argument is that Republicans, not Democrats, turned this into an issue. It's laughable.

Don't be jealous, Mexico.

The fuck are you on about? my argument is that Trump wasn't a reaction to Democrats.

Don't be jealous, Mexico.

You will still get 2 senators, just like Wyoming.

Then you're clearly delusional.

I am not bothering to start threads in this is a hell hole but here while we go on about every piece of BS this is news to me. Oh supporters go to hell.

It is always interesting to me that when Democrats lose an election, even a fairly narrow one like 2024, the entire narrative becomes about why and everyone has an opinion. When Trump lost by more in 2020 not only did the Republican party not change they doubled down. But I can also understand in that sense why they had to lie to themselves that they didn't really lose. It does hurt to have to grapple with a loss and when you can just pretend it didn't happen I'm sure that is handy.

Anyway, Trump is now down to -3.6 on RCP and -5.1 on 538. An historically unpopular president at this point. I'm not sure it is very important how is approval rating is doing though because he doesn't have to worry about reelection and he doesn't care about anyone but himself so if it damaged the Republican party that's fine.

Silver Bulletin started an aggregate for Elon's approval and it's nearly -15. I wonder if he is a good shield for Trump to attract a lot of the negative publicity.

I know it's not exactly scientific but I did notice that the reaction to him at the PPV at the weekend was a lot more "oh, cool" than people going nuts like they did last year

Trump's 2024 popular vote margin was the 6th smallest ever at +1.6. Biden won at +4.5, Hillary was at +2.1, Obama +3.9 and +7.9. Trump's tipping point state margin of victory was +1.7. Obama's was +9.0 and +5.5. I'm not sure why it is important for Trump supporters to pretend his victory was a landslide or a large mandate, it just simply wasn't unless you want to consider every election a landslide. He won, he's the president but still a deeply polarizing figure that did not earn an overwhelming mandate. If he did his approval rating wouldn't be dropping like a stone.

It ain't got nothing on the '72 Dick Lick.

Yes but assuming there are free and fair elections going forward I believe the days of these kind of landslides are over. Polarization is way too high now. Obama 08 was probably the last real landslide election we could have.

Then you're clearly delusional.

Its amazing how right wingers can't take responsibilities for their own actions.

Trump got booed at the UFC event. The people were cheering for Shaq when they showed him on the Jumbotron. Soon as they showed Trump on the screen, they started booing.

But you aren't counting the millions and millions and millions of illegal votes, if you don't count those then Trump wins 500-0 it is known.

In a way, it's natural for the winning side to claim total victory and that they represent the people's will. When Obama beat McCain, liberals celebrated it as a win over Bush-era militarism and Christian fundamentalism.

But conservatives take special glee in this victory because a Republican winning the popular is so rare. Apart from Dubya's 2004 victory (aided by an active war), a Republican hadn't won the popular vote in about 30 years so felt refreshing, inspiring and hopeful for them.

They'd felt how "their" country was being lost to minorities, liberal whites, gays, feminists, etc., for years and to finally get some reprieve was ecstasy to them. Can't blame them that much.
