Trump's Approval Rating Goes Underwater
Even as he was delivering the most partisan address to Congress maybe
ever, Donald Trump's public support seemed to be regularly eroding. An
updated FiveThirtyEight average of Trump's approval ratings on March 4
showed him going underwater for the first time since reoccupying the
White House, with 47.6 percent approval and 47.9 percent disapproval.
That puts Trump back in the same territory of public opinion he
occupied during his first term as president, where (per Gallup) he
never achieved more than 50 percent job approval, and averaged a mere
41 percent.
When will people learn that polls are meaningless? They're generally
wrong and when it comes to Trump, he could care less.

I dunno. He didn't get my vote, but 47% doesn't look bad to me. Talk
to me when he's at 30% and angry, unemployed rednecks are oiling up
their weapons. 47% seems OK to me.

At present Trump has lost whatever presidential "honeymoon" he
initially enjoyed after his return to the White House, and needs to
find new converts to return to genuine popularity. He's not off to a
great start.

Suck it up folks - you'll get to go again in '28.
I have no idea if Trump's policies will work
or not.

Note that it is very common for the popularity of the winning party to drop >> after an election when promises are not delivered upon.
I think the current figures are quite good aactually.
Point well taken. Despite what they may announce publicly about how they know results take time, people expect instant results and if they don't get it; it pisses them off. I have no idea if Trump's policies will work or not. A few I like (boot out criminal immigrants, no military aid to ungrateful countries) and some I don't (picking fights with Canada, Panama, Denmark)

This is the truth! I am curious about who will take over after Trump, and, >> iof the MAGA movement after the next 3.5 year will have spent its energy.
If wonder if the democrats will produce a "right"-wing democrat around
45-50, male and white, in order to try and win the next presidential
election.
The idea is that they strayed too far to the left, and alienated everyone. >> If they move to the right I think they have a good chance to win the next
election.
A present day neophyte, much like Obama was for the left.
And are the center/right forces powerful
enough to go against the extreme left
