Elon musk is conflicted which way to feel about this news.
Its so rare for approval to climb after getting in office… Just proves that actually doing shit is feasible alternative to whatever the establishment has been up to for the best forever.
Who would have thought that doing your job could be so popular?
It helps that every other fucker is just screwing things up in their own particular favor
Probably helps to be I. Your prime creative years, instead of 70+ like most of the rest of our politicians.
Look at that. It’s almost like the rest of the planet was right about social protections.
That’s around the same as Trump’s disapproval rating.
For anybody that doubts this, I looked it up. Some polls are more in the 55%-60% range, but there are also these:
Reuters/Ipsos (August 21–24): 65% disapprove and 33% approve.
American Research Group (August 15–19): 66% disapprove and 30% approve.I looked into it because I suspected it was more like 35% approve, 50% disapprove, leaving 15% fucking clueless somehow.
I used to follow the Gallup polls for this, because of the long time series and general reputability. But then it turned out they do not have a spine. Since then I always look at the aggregated results at https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin . Every poll has a significant margin of error (depending on sample size) and bias (depending on methodology), so aggregating them is generally a good idea.
Nate Silver is a known POS. I strongly suggest to avoid that. Here is one that lists them all: https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls
ETA: https://www.salon.com/2024/09/06/nate-silver-faces-backlash-for-pro-model-skewing/
Realclearpolitics is worse than Nate Silver. They’re openly conservative and manipulate their polling average by accepting only GOP internals not dem ones, which means their averages are super biased GOP.
Do you have sources on that? If so, who is a better option than both of them?
I mean the wikipedia page shows it’s “conservative”.
As for what sources to rely on instead. G Elliot Morris is the gold standard. But there are plenty of hobbyist websites that do just as well (if not better since include internals from both sides) as RCP.
For example: https://plusminus4.substack.com/p/2026-senate-polling-averages
There’s also the fivethirtyeight subreddit on reddit 🤢 which has all the polling nerds and that’s the best place to find resources and people who may know what they’re talking about. Unfortunately such a community hasn’t established itself on the thredi.
FYI, I’m not trolling you. I believe you, I just really don’t know what is fair in that department. I did a little digging and these came up. I’m going to start checking on them:
Ooops I see I forgot to link to G Elliott Morris’ website. Here ya go
I vaguely remember something like that, thanks for the alternative. Direct link at https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating
G. Elliott Morris used to build 538’s models, and now he does his own. There are Senate and House forecasts there too.
Link?
Ironic, given that even Donald Trump approves of Zohran Mamdani.
Well, he DID like him. For a while.
Trump likes winners. But if they make HIM look like a loser, not so much.
Zohran Mamdani is one of the most popular politicians in the country, atm.
In the world. He is globally popular
Yeah, and Trump is one of most unpopular. People compare the two and Trump looks bad in comparison and he hates that. So he badmouths Zohran now.
Nobody stays in Trumps good books forever. Certainty not if they outshine him.
People compare the two and Trump looks bad in comparison and he hates that.
I’ve seen more the opposite. Trump sees Mamdani as popular and keeps trying to hitch a wagon to his star. He did a congratulatory call, gave Mamdani a few concessions coming into office, and even invited him to the WH for a photo op.

How do you disapprove of a guy trying to improve your life? I’m guessing the other 30% are a combination of rich assholes and dumb rednecks who know literally nothing about him?
here’s a map from a few weeks ago of Mamdani’s approval ratings. All the wealthy areas have red dissapproval ratings. Something I like to note is the red rectangle just off Central Park is Epstein Alley, the area where the richest assholes own property.New Yorker here to translate.
Manhattan is almsot all green except for a sliver on 5th Avenue near Central Park. That’s the priciest area. Most of the rest of the borough is pretty pricey. even Harlem apartments are getting expensive, now that it’s being gentrified.
Most of the red areas aren’t particularly pricey and certainly aren’t considered high class or exclusive.
The bright red area all the way at the bottom left is the South Shore of Staten Island.
I once met a woman who taught Art History at Staten Island College. She told me that many of her students had never made the trip into Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum, one of the top museums in the world.
For additional context, it’s maybe an hour trip by train feom SI (including a fun ferry ride) and admission is free for Ny’ers at The Met. (Natural history museum too!)
Look for and listen to the Revisionist History: The Staten Island Problem podcast series. It’s really interesting and even points out how Wu Tang Clan rose from that weird island. Plus it seems to have foretold our current stupid politics to a degree.
https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pr2024/wu-tang-district-limited-street-sign.shtml
Yes, the is an authentic NYC government site and yes, there are actual street signs that say ‘Wu Tang District.’
Shaolin was their nickname for Staten Island or their neighborhood there, in their songs too.
The lower the density of housing, the lower the favorability… Interesting
That really red area under the mouse cursor is… Borough Park? Super conservative Jewish area? Or maybe bensonhurst? I live here but am apparently bad at maps.
Yeah, that’s Borough Park, famous for the Orthodox Jewish community doing stuff like diverting public education funds towards private religious schools or having a private bus system that used to require women to sit in the back until an investigation in 2011.
The small red area just northeast is Crown Heights, famous for the hilarious synagogue tunnel story back in 2024. Basically, that area has some very pro-Zionist areas.

It’s all the outskirts except for central Manhattan and surprisingly Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which I thought was part of the Commie Corridor. Flushing is expected considering many first generation Asians are conservative (read: racist) and prefer to vote for a white man.
There is an Orthodox Jewish part of williamsburg
Italians Jews Russians and rich people
They know he’s a Muslim, sadly enough that’s enough for many
As an intelligent Redneck I appreciate the modifier of stupid for my dumbfuck kin. Some of us stick to the old ways and wish to watch the corpos burn, but well we are fleeting nowadays. Though funny enough a lot of people outside the Redneck culture don’t recognize me as Redneck and peg me for the alternative title of American-Scot due to the fact I don’t fit most stereotypes, other Rednecks will look at me for five fucking seconds and proclaim kinship.
Well yeah, redneck is just a word i use to describe people like my uncle who went out at 7am in his tighty-whities with cowboy boots on to feed the horses. Still love the guy, but that shits embarrassing.
Like if it’s on his property does he really need pants on? Like the only embarrassing thing I’m hearing is that he wears tightly whities and not boxer briefs.
I mean, I guess not, and they lived 2 miles from the nearest house. It’s still a weird thing to do that we tease him about to this day.
He should have gotten dressed if you were visiting.
So just the other day I learned where the term redneck came from and I think you may want to go read about it because we are all misappropriating a term originally meant for class/labor solidarity with that of white trash that fuck their siblings and have a combined IQ that if it were an age not high enough to vote.
I grew up with white trash rednecks. Lived with them too. I don’t care what the original definition is. Language changes, and it isn’t being used that way anymore.
NICE
About a month ago, a poll showed that about 40% of Dems were aligning with the DemSocs. A couple of weeks ago, a new poll showed it was up to about 60%.
The louder the Corpo-Establishment Dems scream about the DemSocs, the stronger they get.
That will be so hilarious if they Streisand Effect themselves out of power
It’s fairly arguable they Streisand Effected Trump into power
Why the hell is it so low. I’ve heard nothing but good news
It’s almost impossible to get over 60% of Americans to agree on anything.
69% approval rating in the US is probably the equivalent of high 80s or low 90s in most of the world.
I’m not so sure. I think 30% of the world is hopelessly uneducated, hedonistic, gullible, and hateful in almost all of the world
I hear Kim Jong Un has over 90% approval rating. Who else?
You mean 100%
loud agony and gun noises in the background
Soo, i was saying, what’s your stance on our lord and savior Kim Jong Un?
All those cops who live on Staten Island would be part of it, presumably
Screaming “hold the neighborhood, boys!” even as they themselves benefit
Not if they are dinousaurs, damn stegron…
Trumps support rate is around 33% in most polls, so it seems there’s a 30-35% of the population who just hate good things and support shitty evil instead.
That is the 30% that hasn’t personally felt the negative consequences of trump strongly enough to change their minds.
Republican base that only approves of an R next to their name, regardless of literally anything.
I’m a New Yorker, so let me give you my perspective.
Donald Trump fucked over everyone in New York. He called for the lynching of some young Black men, and then refused to admit he was wrong when they were all exonerated. He pissed off the Manhattan elites when he razed a famous landmark after promising to preserve it. He enraged the art world when he built an ugly hotel in SoHo. He personally destroyed a great summer football league. He was seen eating pizza with a knife and fork.
Despite these many insults to the commonwealth, he still got votes.
There will always be a portion of the population that goes fascist during economic decay, the sort of decay that is inevitable with capitalism. They will be throughly propagandized and may never wake up and see the light of reason. A liberal democracy cannot stop a determined fascist movement with capitalist backing with conventional means. They will use and abuse existing political levers to gain total power.
The only thing that will stop them is turning the tables on them via mass resistance of those who have gained class consciousness. They will need to be defeated and suppressed, and barred from having any further political power or platform to spread their toxic ideas.
It might also have to do with the authoritarian personality types YouTube
Probably the same people who downvoted the posts celebrating Dolly Parton yesterday. Some people are just negative.
Some people actually like exploiting poor people and dislike politicians that make it difficult for them.
The 0.5% who have a pied-à-terre worth over $5 million, and the 30.5% who are just temporarily cash-constrained but surely will be buying a pied-à-terre worth over $5 million in the very near future.
