42%, it’s not really falling as it is always around this low. Also: 42% still adore the guy. Also: I think it’s at least 43% too high.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

42% holy shit. What is wrong with America. I guess people don't give a shit until it affects them personally.
Remember 20 percent of people will respond in the dumbest way possible in any given statistic, the other 20 percent though? Eh I ain't got nothing ignorance and stupidity maybe?
I see headlines like this at least two or three times a week, declaring MAGA is disintegrating and Trump is done for sure this time.
42% still approve of the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and pedophile fascist. Goes to show that a large proportion of Americans still wholeheartedly approve of fascism, and are therefore a threat to the rest of the world.
They don't know what is going on. They watch propaganda channel fox and their local pastor tells them to vote trump.
Yeah, apart from that one thing there's no reason his approval rating should be slipping, is there. /s
I’m sorry…concerns? CONCERNS?!
I’m concerned when I might have to skip lunch. What’s happening now is a full blown blaring alarm that war is upon us.
So after the entire shit show that was the part year, 42% of Americans actually think he's doing anything remotely good?
Talk about your brainwashed idiots, that country is soooooo fuuuuuuucked.
Sick of these bullshit articles claiming poll numbers drop yet always 42% still approve. One it should be zero and second Trump don't give shit about polls.
That is embarrassingly high
Highest disapproval poll numbers of his career, congratulations.
Or, highest poll numbers of his career of people who want to see the full Epstein files on him.
The 42 percent are people who had their brains broken by things like Faux.
When George W Bush left office, his overall disapproval rating was 25% When Obama left office, his disapproval rating was 38% When Biden left office, his disapproval rating was 40%
By the time Trump's fatass leaves office, I expect to see 15% or 10% or that he'll join George too.
But yeah, our country, people. This is what most of not-us wanted.
If you look at the approval numbers for Nixon even as he jumped on that helicopter just before getting impeached, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I expect there is some bedrock number in this country that will ALWAYS support a Republican, no matter what he's caught doing.
The Republicans were fucking outraged about Nixon - not that he broke the law, but that he was caught and that the media spoke about it. So they vowed to create the system we have now...in the interim, a whole lot of people in the "liberal media" took the hint during Iran/Contra which made Whitewater pale in comparison.
Ah the old poll number slipped article. Once per week right on time and the numbers are same as last week
I really do wonder what curated video and propaganda did people see, as presented by social media algorithm, to be so enamoured by Trump. So it's not necessarily the person's fault if they weren't given the full information, if the media feed they're getting is whatever the social media giants feeds them. I've been thinking of doing research, but I'm afraid it may lead me to a rabbit hole that i may not want.
