U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating has ticked slightly lower in recent days as more Americans worried about the direction of the U.S. economy as the new leader threatens a host of countries with tariffs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The six-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, showed 44% of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, down from 45% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 24-26. Trump’s approval rating stood at 47% in a January 20-21 poll conducted in the hours after the Republican’s return to the White House.
The share of Americans who disapprove of his presidency has risen more substantially, to 51% in the latest poll, compared with 41% right after he took office.
The Americans that already like trump only listen to/watch media that will NEVER tell them what he’s doing is illegal. That media only reinforces their own views that brown people are bad, and anything to hurt them will help the white Americans - even if all this illegal stuff hurts the white Americans, too.
So you agree a large swath of americans are just too fucking stupid to harbour any common sense
Sadly yes, and it could happen to you. Murdoch’s power knows no borders, and now that he’s destroyed one country he’ll try for more.
I agree and I am terrified of it… however, like it’s the case with biases, eternlal vigilance is the cost of keeping it at bay
Exactly.
The reason Trump exists is because the powers that put him in office have managed to cultivate an alternate media reality and exploit people’s tribalism and biases.
If you listen to any media from that bubble you’d hear that Trump is doing amazing and that any negativity that may make it through the filter bubble is because “they” are “just mad” and “trying to get” him.
They’re not even living in the same reality
And, apparently, they’re too stupid to figure it out on their own.
