This kind of broad disapproval is harder to reverse than if there were simply one issue harming his presidency, on which he could presumably change course. Theres no obvious silver bullet for Trump to reach for in order to restore his public standing.

When the news tells you the temp, it is just a number the wx caster speaks.

(5,878 posts)About a third of the population are frothing at mouth deplorables who will support Trump no matter what, even if they have to live under a bridge.
But Trump's poll numbers don't matter. He can't and won't be held accountable. He will inflict so much damage by mid-terms that the only way we will be able to turn things around would be to have enough Senators to be able to convict and remove him after a House impeachment.
I don't see that happening. At least not right now.

(40,398 posts)as a narc but in the end he wants his tariffs. He wants his way more than popularity or we'd see him changing course.

(10,834 posts)will plunge. He left office in 2021 with 34 percent average approval. I believe he will match that or even lower.

(23,823 posts)I'm also praying it matters. My fear is a collapse of all of our checks, balances, and guardrails.
Bad polls don't matter to a King or dictator.

(8,897 posts)Only R in congress/senate can do that. We know his cabinet never will. His approval should be in the minus range imo.
