2 in 10: Average 3 in 10: Great
If you all could just try to not take the rest of the planet with you, that'll be great.
You really got to wonder what that 2 in 10 thinks about the history of presidents of this country. I mean there's been some stinkers but Jesus.
Fucking politicians. All the same ain't they.
Edit: ...is what they are thinking.

It’s a bullshit poll. 10% selected “I don’t know.”
The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,260 adults from April 17- April 21, using a probability-based method from AmeriSpeak. The margin of sampling error for the poll is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
He’s underwater at 54.6% unfavorable on YouGov as of five days ago.

They were probably afraid to speak for fear or being deported
I misread it as 4/10 say he's good, and still thought WTF?!
It’s because we’re literally surrounded by nazis

Only 4-in-10? That's disappointing
It's why the US will fail, quickly.
How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource? This incontinent incompetent asshole is qualified to sit in a fucking jail cell, that's it. God this country is stupid...

No, but there are millions who basically do not consume news outside of social media. And as you see on social media, people constantly complain about having to see "politics" and many try to block anything regarding that.

30% of the population thinks tanking the economy, shredding the constitution, and deporting people to what is essentially a death camp without due process, all totally legal and very cool.
Reminds me of this book about interviews with "ordinary" non-political, non-military Nazi party members in Germany. Just regular citizens with jobs and families. "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45" (1955).
"The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule, with the exception of the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people... At the time of the interviews the interviewees were still not in favor of the democratic Bonn government."

“He’s really doing the stuff that he said he was going to do,” Tanner Bergstrom, a 29 year old Republican from Minnesota, told the Associated Press. He added that Trump is “not making a bunch of promises and getting into office and nothing happens. … I really like that. Even if it’s some stuff I don’t agree with, it’s still doing what he said he was going to do.”
He’s a Nazi, but at least he’s an honest Nazi.
Honestly, as a sane person yes I do like honest Nazis more than lying Nazis. But do you know what I like more than honest Nazis? People who aren't a Nazi, I like those way the fuck more than honest Nazis which apparently puts us in the minority in this shit hole of a county

4 in 10? Are these polls conducted in Mobile, Alabama?
They're conducted by calling people who answer the phone when an unknown number calls. So boomers.

So 60% of Americans are pieces of shit. That tracks.
4 in 10 Americans have an IQ above 12.
Political tribalism is so crazy in this country. It's like Republicans and Democrats live in two different countries. I suppose in some ways they do.
The divide is actually between "people who got an education that included critical thinking skills" and people who didn't.
Ideologically speaking, dozens of studies and surveys have shown that Americans are actually not very ideologically separate - it's just that the group that can't critically think is routinely and easily manipulated into voting AGAINST their own ideology through fear.

Shows that Trump is not the problem. He is the symptom.
Calling hIm "terrible," undersells it. He is, by all objective measure, the most prolific traitor in American history, literally worse than all other American traitors COMBINED.
He was already firmly established by historians as the worst president in American history following his first term, despite historians usually wishing to wait a decade before making their assessment. He was such a terrible president in his first term, that they didnt have to wait for his legacy to settle. Now he is only digging the hole of his legacy even deeper.
44% is not sinking. What has that number moved, 1.3%?
The world is full of dumb people shocker
How is it only 4 in 10?
Oh wait, maybe the other options were Horrible and stinking, which both received 3 votes.
So what I'm hearing is democrats think he's trash, MAGAts still love his soggy ass, and the twats who didn't bother to vote are not bothering with this poll
(Also fuck those guys the most. This is as much your fault as the MAGAts)
He's getting a masterclass in negotiation from Xi and I'm here for it.
6 in ten Americans are complete imbeciles I guess
Hands down, the worst president, twice.
Hold on, they're still asking the other 6. The last one is a dentist.
Was this written by AI?
Forty-two percent of Independents say Trump has the wrong priorities, 30 percent say an even mix, 9 percent believe he has the wrong priorities and 19 percent don’t know.

So 44% think he's doing terribly, 21% are an even mix, 10% don't know. That's 75%. One can only assume that the remaining 25% think he's doing a great job. I also imagine that there is an element of the shy conservative in these responses so the actual figure is probably like 30-40% think he's doing pretty good.
