New poll shows net approval rating worse than any president in decades

[struggle4progress]

Donald Trump’s net approval rating in 2025 has reached a shocking low, worse than any modern U.S. president in the last 70 years. Polls from CNN, FOX, Ipsos, NBC, and Quinnipiac University show Trump’s approval rating dropping from +7 in January to -2 in March, a sharp 9-point decline. CNN analyst Harry Enten noted that while Trump is slightly better off than he was in 2017, he remains “underwater,” unlike any other president at this stage of their term.

Historically, every U.S. president since 1937 maintained a positive net approval rating by this point in their presidency. Trump, however, is an anomaly. Even during his first term in 2017, his approval numbers hovered in the negative range. While Barack Obama, George W.

Analysts point to Trump’s divisive leadership and inability to appeal to undecided voters. His polarizing policies and inflammatory rhetoric continue to alienate key voter demographics. According to Enten, “Trump’s approval is so low that he only matches himself—nobody else has been this unpopular in modern history.” This decline is consistent across all major polls, indicating that public sentiment toward Trump remains largely negative ...

1. That's great and all, but he's still in the WH. Some people find comfort in these polls but I don't.

2. The more unpopular he becomes

The less threatened people will feel if they go against him. We'll see if that holds true here.

11. He's not in the WH, either literally or figuratively.

He lives in his cult compound in Florida. And the Constitution is very clear on his legal status (banned insurrectionist).

4. Trump is in power now, he's moved beyond what the citizens think or want.

This is an authoritarian takeover of our government by a mafia-like group.

9. Then again, he's not a President.

He's a figurehead of a terrorist occupation. So to be fair, you'd have to compare him to other figureheads of terrorist occupation forces.

12. Only minus two is an indictment of the American citizenry. Minus twenty would still be appalling.

At least it's heading in the necessary direction.

13. Polls schmols .

He looks at this poll as a progress report. The lower it goes, the better he feels about himself. Fuck what The People think. The only poll he wants to see is one taken by the billionaires. That's the one he wants high notes for.
