Trump plunges to 35% favorable rating in dire new poll that says 53% back indictments

Former President Donald Trump’s popularity is plunging as his legal troubles mount.

Just 35% of Americans have a favorable view of Trump compared to 62% who view him unfavorably, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll released Wednesday.

The survey, which was conducted from last Friday to Monday, also found that 53% of all voters say they definitely wouldn’t vote for Trump for president in 2024.

Another 11% said they probably wouldn’t support his White House comeback bid.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Trump's appeal will continue to diminish in the months to come. There is no way he can parlay his hardships into increasing popularity.

It’s not just the indictments piling up but he’s back in the news and tweeting about the 2020 election again. Anytime trump stays out of the news his approval rises, when he’s in the news people remember why they didn’t like him.

At least it's sinking in, and Pendejo45 is sinking in the polls.
Not that I trust polls.

The propaganda is working. The operative phrase from above also is a complete sentence.

47% OF OUR FELLOW AMERICANS DON’T THINK.

"Some 53% of those surveyed approve of the U.S. Department of Justice indicting Trump for his alleged scheme to stay in power illegally, compared to just 30% who disapprove."

is still pitifully low. 47% of Americans don't support indicting someone who spearheaded an attempt to overturn a US election? Why do they think he happened to hold his rally just as Congress was about to certify the election?

A shocking percentage of Americans have been brainwashed to Orwellian levels.

Fox News made a doctored video, purporting to show that the Democrats had manufactured a doctored video to pretend that Republicans had invaded Congress to stop the election certification.

Slowly …drip, drip, drip. Chris Christie will continue to beat tRump like a drum. Pence is finding some spine. Who knows who else will crack? Not a good time to be Donald J. tRump.

All our dreams may come true sooner than we thought. I want to see him melt into a puddle like the Wicked Witch after being hit with a pail full of water.

How about "indictment fatigue," Boss?

That's the stupidest thing I've heard for a month. What the hell is "indictment fatigue" anyway?

You got something else?

Make our lead story "indictment fatigue"!

Remember that there are 5 states that - combined - have fewer people than Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami/Dade counties in Florida (Wyoming, Montana, No Dak, So Dak, and Nebraska*) where no Democrat running for national office has much of a chance - even if Trump were convicted. Trump will likely win every state that touches the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas) even if convicted. West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas as well as Idaho and Utah - all likely to go for Trump.

*Biden might get Nebraska Congressional District 2

Biden can win. That's not my point, My point is that Trump will still roll up a fair number of EVs - even if convicted. If he does drop out, whoever runs will probably broadly hint at a pardon.

My biggest fear this time out is poor turnout. Who actually shows up will be key, and Republicans have worked hard to make voting harder.
