Not everyone votes. At least 1/3 of those don't vote, which makes what they think irrelevant as they have no influence in politics.
Oh they'll be voting this time around. You can bet on it. Your orange god has motivated people in ways never before even heard of in this country to get out and vote. All sorts of people will be coming out of the woodwork to put an end to this travesty. We learned our lesson regarding complacency. And I can assure you it will not happen again.
Why do you think the Republicans try so hard to suppress votes? They know if everyone voted they would never even get close to a public office.
First of all, it's a stupidly biased source. You're free to believe it if you want.
Second, President Obama's approval ratings often dipped below 40%. In fact, his dipped as low as 19%.
But nevermind. You already know what you believe.
Back to the tired "fake news" defense, huh? And no president has had such low approval ratings as Trump this early in his presidency. And it's all downhill from here too because historically approval ratings decrease the longer a president remains in office. They don't get better long term.
At this point, there's not much to love about Trump. Everything about him screams incompetence, arrogance, narcissism, dishonesty, and possibly even criminal behavior. Not exactly the pinnacle of what a POTUS should be.

And yet, we survived 8 years of Obummer. That which does not kill us will only make us stronger...

Go to Gallup.com and look up each President's "daily" approval ratings. It's all there.
His absolute lowest was 38%. Average was 47.9%, and final was 59%
And that isn't really the relevant statistic anyway. You want to align the rates by time. President's are usually enjoying high ratings in these early months of a presidency. Trump is historically low.
If Trump's approval rating dropped to 15%..he would still be President--while the election is a popularity contest..once you're in office...why does it even matter that most of the people loath you?
It seems that the polls only matter to the fans..of both sides...as some sort of 'validation'.
Actually, they do matter. Especially to congress critters, to party organizations, and to potential candidates. And of course to Trump, who has guided much of his public life by TV ratings. Given how frequently he talks about them, I think they matter a great deal to him.
If Trump were more popular, you would see more Rs toeing Trump's line.
Keep in mind that the parties do their own polling, and those results are not made public.
Where exactly? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to call you out. Please show where it dipped to 19%, if you know where the data is.
Are you looking at the disapproval line vs. the approval line? His disapproval was really low at the start (12%).
