      Eh, the “savior” in that case would be JD Vance.

    “Just 47 percent” but “nearly half, 48 percent” 🙄

    These polls aren’t as promising as they make it seem. It’s a coin flip whether the American you’re talking to is a nazi. Dark fucking times.

    While I’d love to believe this, it’s pretty well known that New Republic pretty much equals sensationalism defined. They’re like Fox News for the left, with the caveat being that they’re more honest- but at the end of the day, it’s still loaded with bias. And sensationalistic headlines.

    Trump is reacting to mostly normal polling numbers in month one, …

    Holy fuck guys. It’s only been a month!? One goddammed month?! God it feels like it’s been so long already. Only fucking 47 months left to go! deep breaths

    I’m gonna go enter a chemically induced coma. If we still have elections by then, wake be up in November '28.

    The polls in the article show that about half the country approves of his crap. I don’t see anything devastating there since he got about half the vote. The headline is clickbait and the numbers say republicans are happy with what is going on in the US of Assholes. As for the all caps screaming, that’s business as usual. The new republic needs to do better.

      No, that’s not what those numbers mean. His popularity is falling, and he knows it.

        His honeymoon didn’t last a month and we haven’t even felt the effects of his policies yet, it’s not bad.

        The problem is approval ratings don’t mean jack shit when half the country hates the other half which hates them right back and the guy is installing loyalists top to bottom.

    Fuck Polls. Fuck you if you’re using polls for any justification or proof of anything at all ever.

      I saw the poll numbers inanother news segment, but ultimately the exact number isn’t the story here. It’s

      I won the Presidential Election in a landslide, won ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, THE POPULAR VOTE, AND ALL FIFTY STATES SHIFTED REPUBLICAN, a record, and now I have the best polling numbers I’ve ever had…

      that tells you that Trump’s sensitive snowflake fee-fees are hurt by the indications he is unpopular.
