He will never lose those people no matter what. No matter what.

(73,046 posts)For that 30%, maybe 25, even having the woes come to their doorstep will be somebody else's fault. Not Mango's.

Mike 03
(18,484 posts)who the pollster was. If I'm recalling this correctly, it was late, probably mid-2020. I can envision him going lower this term, but not lower than 28 to 30 (though I'd love to see that).
ProfessorGAC
(73,046 posts)The first graph in this Wiki entry is an easy visual aid.
It looks like his low was 35% just as he was about to leave office. But, there is a precipitous decline for about the last 4 months, of around 11%.
It also looks like he touched those sane lows in late '17/early '18.
So, this 38% is not his all-time low.

(19,616 posts)That's where he was in 2016. He's made some headway with minorities, hard-core racists, young people, and yes, even women.
He's lost some along the way as well, but I'd estimate his hard-core floor at around 38%, plus or minus 1.5%.
It's going to be a battle, perhaps literally, to get our country back.
OMGWTF
(4,768 posts)"MAGA" and 'Thank you president T💩p' on the trail. On the way back we still had some water, so, we used it to get rid of the "T" leaving 'rump' and the "M" leaving 'AGA'. Someone with chalk had written "sucks" under MAGA, which was subsequently crossed out by more chalk. All of this in 30 minutes. Chalk wars. Haven't been back today to see what it looks like.

(10,578 posts)Once he is deposed, the number will drop into single digits, but anyone who voted for him EVER is accountable to history and subject to retribution and fines in my mind. I want to address taxation burdens and debt retirement and social programs, but first things first, I want repairs for what Trump has broken and I want his fans to pay full freight for it.
If people thought the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI was draconian, you better NEVER let me get control of the purse while Billionaires ride dick-shaped rockets and young girls die in parking lots and ERs unable to receive vital health care. While we have allowed billionaires to cut their taxes and kill programs and the poor right now, if I ever get control of this mess, that equation is getting inverted immediately! The currently rich and powerful are going to find out how much fun being broke, ignored and abused really is.

(3,827 posts)Most of the other reputable polls have him at about 45%. Even in this poll, the Republicans are more favorable than the Democrats, although they are ahead in cares about people like me.

(22,446 posts)Not gonna say it's too high. I long ago realized that about thirty percent are unreachable. We can lower it eight more percent if we're united.

(40,624 posts)This is just one part of the complete report...
Thirty-eight percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove. In Quinnipiac University's April 9 poll, 41 percent approved, while 53 percent disapproved.
Voters were asked about Trump's handling of seven issues...
immigration issues: 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 3 percent not offering an opinion;
deportations: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
the economy: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
trade: 38 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 6 percent not offering an opinion;
universities: 37 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 9 percent not offering an opinion;
the Israel - Hamas conflict: 35 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove, with 13 percent not offering an opinion;
the Russia - Ukraine war: 34 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 10 percent not offering an opinion.

(22,446 posts)that immigration is his strong suit and using that to sanewash his calling in the National Guard. Not that facts will stop them.
ancianita
(40,624 posts)and never mentioned at all on RW Fox or media. Which is how the country stays informationally divided.
Q Polls are not as old or as big in sampling as Gallup, and so the sampling can still be skewed against being representative of the country, and so not as valid and reliable as Gallup's.
Which means there's not really an accurate snapshot of the political approval reality out there.
Here's their methodology. https://poll.qu.edu/methodology/
I mean, only 1,000 people polled?
I know that it's impossible to poll 1% of the country (it would be a 3,330,000 sample), but still... a much larger sampling would give the public a bit more confidence.
All this does is feed into the disparity between national election voting counts and the so-called national polling.
The greater the population the smaller the sample size.

(2,784 posts)Maybe the sh*t has to really hit the fan. Maybe his birthday celebration on Saturday, with massive rallies around the country, will be a tipping point. I certainly hope so.

(19,617 posts)If he's the same or goes up, the battle's gonna be more uphill than I thought.
On the other hand, if his numbers take a hit, that's a small ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
