It's from the University of Mass, and it shows that trump's support is deteriorating most among men. In April he was at forty eight percent and now he is at thirty nine.

Now granted, it's not white men, but still, is the manospere finally, FINALLY waking up?

1. One point doesn't get me excited...

but, at least it is going the right way and in the right demographic.

2. One point?

It has gone down more than that.

10. I think poster meant one data point

Would want to see several polls show this

[pandr32]

11. Sorry. I read it wrong.

Thank goodness it is more!

18. Yes, a little bit of good news!

3. I will reserve judgment until similar results are reported by real pollsters.

6. Is U of M a bad pollster?

7. It's a comment about alt reality.

And I don't think they have the longevity for credibility. But that's me.

14. We may have reached the point where any cracks in his support, or fading of his popularity, feels threatening to people.

Possibly a form of Stockholm Syndrome. Personally, I think the shine is starting to come off. Mainly with independents and even some of his core nutters. I see it anecdotally in my community and we are starting to see some dribs and drabs in polling, like you posted. Part of it is Epstein. Part of it is the flagging economy. And to some, I think the fact he is starting to look like a ham that has been out in the sun all day, has punctured the image of a strong, virile leader they had in their sick minds. It's not just one thing.

4. Men, and specifically white men, have been the only demographic holding him above water or even

He's been underwater with everyone else since he took office.

I hope some are moving on from him. I'm sick of it.

5. The panel on Nicole's show

think the Epstein thing is a big factor.

8. New National UMass Amherst Poll Finds President Trump's Job Approval Gap Slides 6 Points Since April

The survey finds Trump’s net approval drops to -20 six months into his term, while his approval rating on immigration falls 9 points since April; additionally, 70% say he has not handled Epstein situation well and 81% blame him for hiding info on case

Topline results and crosstabs for the poll can be found at http://www.umass.edu/poll

Public approval of Donald Trump’s presidency has dropped by 6 percentage points since April and his approval rating is now 20 points underwater, 38-58, according to a new national University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll of 1,000 respondents conducted July 25-30.

“Six months into his second term as president, Donald Trump looks to be on the ropes with the American public,” says Tatishe Nteta, provost professor of political science at UMass Amherst and director of the poll. “Trump’s approval ratings, already historically low for a newly elected president, continue to sink with close to 6-in-10 Americans (58%) expressing disapproval of the job that Trump is doing in office.

While Trump remains a popular figure among Republicans and conservatives, Trump’s time in office is viewed more negatively across genders, generations, classes and races, with majorities of each of these groups disapproving of Trump’s performance. With over three years left in the Trump administration, there is still time for him to right the ship and fulfil the promises that catapulted him to the presidency, but the president is not off to the start he or his supporters envisioned.”

In the previous UMass Poll, conducted as Trump approached the three-month anniversary of his return to the White House, Trump held a 44-51 approval rating, buoyed by a positive overall approval on his handling of immigration. The new poll, however, has found a significant shift in views on this issue.

9. Thanks! I admit that I am surprised that 81%

say he is the most responsible for hiding info about the Epstein case. Looks like those who were predicting that this had blown over a week or two ago were kind of, well, wrong.

16. +1

12. I don't think polls mean a damn thing to Trump or his avid supporters

Polls are not going to stop him, action needs to be taken immediately not wait for the next election. Trump intends to burn as much down as possible over the next year and a half.

13. Who on earth said polls will "stop him"?

I hadn't seen that in the OP or the responses in the thread.

[Gimpyknee]

17. Well said.

15. They're just embarrassed.

They're the same racist, misogynist assholes, and they will vote for the continuation of the exact same policies when Vance picks up the torch.

We need our own people to get off their asses.
