https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls-2055795 President Donald Trump's approval rating has turned negative for the first time in a poll conducted by a Republican-leaning firm.
Why It Matters
A shift in Trump's numbers could influence support from Republican lawmakers, affect his ability to push through his agenda and shape the political landscape, heading into the midterm election cycle.
What to Know
According to Rasmussen's daily poll tracker, as of April 4, Trump's approval rating sits at 49 percent, while 50 percent disapprove of his job performance.
That is the first time in Trump's second term that Rasmussen's tracker has shown the president with a net negative approval rating. On April 3, Trump's approval rating dipped below 50 points for the first time. Rasmussen is generally considered as a Republican-leaning pollster.
Many polls have shown the president's approval rating on the decline in recent days.
Newsweek's average of the 10 most recently published polls shows that Trump's approval rating stands at 47 percent, while 49 percent disapprove. That is a decline from early March, when Trump's approval rating was at 49 percent, while 47 percent disapproved.

Why does it matter? Trump has supreme dictatorial power right now. He can do whatever the hell he wants and it doesn't matter if people disapprove of it. This is just cope from leftists who desperately want to believe democracy will save them.

>>1398817 How am I wrong? Who's going to stop him? If Trump wants to invade Greenland or put tariffs on penguins he can do that, and the republican party is squarely behind him. If the courts rule against him, he just ignores them.
If tomorrow Trump put a burger king crown on his head and granted himself a third term by fiat nobody would tell him no.

>>1398839 I see. "Something or other" will stop him.
>he will literally be the most hated president in existence Trump is a very good showman, and half the country loves the guy. He has a cult of personality stronger than any leader since Hitler. The more he destroys America, the more that cult supports him, because it seems like he's doing something to shake up the system that they blame for their lives being shitty.

Although I hope he does this, it would cause civil war with a divided military. tRump probably has seen the 1940s pictures of Mussolini strung up, and it's a real chicken shit at heart. JD Vance is a cupcake. No one is in the background ready to step up in the name of American fascism
This ends either with tRump in humiliation or strung up like a piece of overripe meat. I had better hopes for the Big Orange clown but it ain't over.... yet.

Hey Trumpy, you'd better start apologizing to PM Sir Keir Starmer, prostrate yourself before him whilst saying you're an inferior, insignificant little inbred retard, and remove those tariffs from the country he runs. Otherwise you're just forcing the DoD to pay more for what that UK company supplies them, in turn the American taxpayer are forced to pay more, thus less reasons for them to vote Republican in the midterms. Certainly in 2028. I'm sure Starmer - who will be PM for longer than you'll be in the White House, Donnie - will be a good friend of the next Democrat president.
