A new Economist/YouGov poll finds President Trump’s approval rating is now 17 percentage points underwater, 39% to 56%, a new low.

1. Kick

[Tetrachloride]

2. putin approves

[UpInArms]

3. Rocking it down to the MAGAt base

The cult is not strong enough to oppose the rest of the country

[Diamond_Dog]

4. It should be more like 10%

[Mysterian]

5. Time to outlaw all polls except for those approved by the regime

Everyone loves Dear Leader in Republikkkan Amerikkka!

6. Every time i see some new low posted, it's still almost 40%. People are that thick. Sigh.

7. Sorry but 2 months ago i saw 38.

We cant keep hitting new lows when its essentially the same. I want to see 29% approval.

8. The economic fallout is just beginning though

Hell I'd like to see 9% but I do think dropping under 30% would be a watershed moment as the congresscritters might start seriously worrying about their jobs at that point.

When costs for everything begin seriously rising (even more than they have) and houses fill up with 20+ yo kids who can't get jobs, and elders who's care is no longer subsidized, businesses are shuttered right and left, farmers go bankrupt, unemployment numbers spike while benefits are cut, higher education costs rise, and Obamacare subsidies are allowed to elapse raising the cost of health insurance? I can easily see another 10% peeling off.

And heaven forbid if there's another pandemic on his watch, or a Katrina-like disaster happens (but in a place where a lot more white people vs. black people die), and the response is massively bungled? Trump is gonna fucking OWN that, that'll cost him a bunch more points. And if the dollar and/or stock market massively crashes or gets replaced as the global currency? Whoa, nelly. We might legit see him impeached or 25A'd.

Which is why it's so important for him to criminalize dissent and crush the left's ability to organize and make voting more difficult. So, of course, fucking convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that he is, that's exactly what he's up to.

11. 38% is the lowest for a YouGov/Economist poll

Quinnipiac had him at 37% in their last poll near the end of August. Their next poll should drop in about 2 weeks.
UMass Amherst had him at 38% at the end of July. They haven't done any polling since.
Gallup had him at 37% in July, slightly higher in August. Their next poll should drop next week I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if Quinnipiac and Gallup have him even lower in their polls to be released before the end of September.

9. Good

I worry that he will get a Kirk bump but we will see

[Polly Hennessey]

10. 39 percent! He probably thinks that's a good number.

Amazes me that 39 percent think he’s doing a great job. The utter stupidity of some wears my little mind out.

12. Nixon's approval was 24% after he

resigned. I think the R base/floor is around 33-35%. Trump is just about there.

13. He cannot dangle the corpse of Charlie Kirk back to popularity?

There may be hope yet.

14. This is the first time I've seen him underwater with white men in the 40-60 range

And that's who has been keeping him close to or above water.

He was underwater in all demographics in this poll with the exception of course of conservative Republicans as a whole.

15. My concern is in the late spring, when it hits the low 30s

and campaign season unofficially begins. The clock will begin ticking and fate will become less... transactional.
