Trump approval now at 33% (Mass Amherst poll).

[Doodley]

New polling shared exclusively with Zeteo demonstrates just how delusional our president really is: Only 33% of Americans approve of the job he is doing, and 62% disapprove, according to the UMass Amherst national poll. This figure may well represent the worst approval rating of Trump’s political career.

-SNIP

The UMass poll finds broad opposition to Trump’s illegal and dangerous war in Iran: 29% say they approve of Trump’s military actions against Iran, while 54% disapprove.

- SNIP

Outside of the war, which could get much worse at any moment, Trump’s approval on key issues ranges from bad to catastrophic: 24% say Trump has handled inflation well, 28% say he’s handled tariffs well, and 22% believe the president has done a good job handling the release of information concerning his former friend Jeffrey Epstein, the world’s most famous pedophile.

According to the UMass poll, 59% of Americans agree with the following statement: “The Trump administration is hiding important information about the Epstein case.” And 50% of Americans believe Trump’s attacks on Iran are meant to distract from the Epstein files, while 30% disagree. Those figures mirror the findings of a recent Data for Progress poll conducted on behalf of Drop Site News and Zeteo.

Nteta notes that immigration – Trump’s signature issue – has “quickly become one of the president’s most pressing vulnerabilities.” Only 35% say he’s handled immigration well, and 60% say he hasn’t.

1. Way too high

Trump should be behind bars.

[Farmer-Rick]

42. Exactly

I can't believe 33 percent of Americans approve of a dottering old, dementia riddled, psychopath, pedophile to control US nuclear weapons and give him carte blanche to bomb innocent people for oil.

[dropdeaddon]

63. At least 33% of people are in the death cult, so it is unlikely to get any lower.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Impeach him, Congress! What are you waiting for?!

[FailureToCommunicate]

43. They DID, twice before. They just didn't convict. (Thanks McConnell)

[displacedvermoter]

3. Unfortunately it will likely never go below 30%

regardless of what new disaster he creates, or how badly he mismanages an actual ongoing one.

But a consistent 30% approval rating going into midterms would still be a really bad, the cult be damned.

[ck4829]

4. Yep. Pretty much the people who would use their own child as a human shield if someone threatened Trump

[displacedvermoter]

8. Two people I work with

who insist that the current fiasco in the Middle East is Biden's fault, and that regardless of how bad things turn out in Iran it would have been worse if either Harris or Hillary (they always say "Hillary!" like a cuss word) were running it.

Part of the solid 30 percent dead ender base that will continue to be a drag on our Democracy for years to come, I am afraid.

[Doodley]

7. I wouldn't be so sure. Look at those approval numbers on the issues, as low as 22%.

[displacedvermoter]

11. He still has 35 percent that think immigration

is being handled well, I would think that is the core issue for his most solid base (hate, fear, and "economic uncertainty" is what they got). Clearly his immigration policies have harmed an awful lot of small and not-so-small businesses, divided communities, and made us look horrible to the rest of the world. But the base hangs on to his promise of making America as white as possible again.

[regnaD kciN]

14. ...because 30% is the white supremacy bloc.

That’s what it comes down to. They’ll accept anything from the regime, as long as they have faith that darker-skinned people are having it even worse.

[Doodley]

22. I think that is less than 30%. Across polls, only about 25% say they "strongly approve" of Trump.

[Hey Joe]

38. BINGO!!!

[Ol Janx Spirit]

16. I'm not sure we can really expect ANYTHING to ever poll under 30%. Ask 10 Americans how they feel about Norovirus and..

...3 of them will say they love it for whatever demented reason they have--weight loss, the suffering of their mother-in-law, no school for a week, etc.

Even nuclear winter probably polls at 30% because dude, the snowboarding will be epic!

Yes, we are collectively that dumb and self-centered unfortunately.

I think he is getting pretty close to the natural polling floor that seems to exist for any issue--and we should view that as a good thing regardless--unsatisfying yes; but good nonetheless.

[dem4decades]

27. There's a certain percentage above the 30 that will disapprove and still vote R.

They're a sick bunch.

[Mysterian]

36. Yep. They would guzzle the flavorade

with their prophet/messiah Cadet Bonespurs.

[EarlG]

41. I didn't think it could happen before, but now I do

George W. Bush was at 90% approval after 9/11, here's what happened after that:



Bush started his war in the Middle East with 75% approval. He won re-election, but his approval never went above 50% again after that, and he finished his second term with approval in the 20s.

Trump, on the other hand, is starting his war in the Middle East with approval in the 30s. A sizeable portion of his supporters are America First types who were promised that we would never again engage in pointless wars in the Middle East. I think he definitely has room to go lower.

[eppur_se_muova]

65. That's about the same level as the incidence of mental health issues, so no, it's not going away. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

67. I've Assumed The Same Number For A Long Time

25% have become cult members; another 5% are just anti-demicrat because all they care about is low tax rates.
I honestly don't believe he can drop below 30%

[Jerry2144]

5. The Venn diagram between the stupidest 1/3 of the population

And the people who approve of him

Is a perfect circle

[sop]

6. Too bad we're stuck with him for three more years.

[ck4829]

9. So damaging to the country though that I'm pretty sure Iran's not even thinking of taking him out

"Supreme Leader, we have seven guys inside the Secret Service, should we find a way to get them into the White House?"

"Only do it to make sure nobody else gets him."

[peppertree]

25. Or with Chipmunk Boy

Because I don't think Jabba-the-Trump can make it through another summer of golfing - especially with what's expected to be a long, hot summer this year.

[displacedvermoter]

71. I thought you wrote Chip Roy (R-Gates of Hell)

[peppertree]

72. You mean Ol' Cow Chip?

Shiiii... I'm afraid Chip gone done did himself in - and good.

How? By violating the first and only commandment in the Trumpkin Babble:

"Thou shalt NOT defy the Orange Jeesus!"

Now - Praise the Lawd! (and Pass the Loot)

[displacedvermoter]

73. Don't they all look ridiculous!

[peppertree]

74. That they do

Though also very predictable - if you grew up in Mi'ssippi.

With many exceptions, they very much believe in a "spiteful, punitive" God - and love seeing all the hysterics and theatrics around said belief.

They see Cheeto as a fitting emissary for such a God - and the more abuses and war crimes he commits, the more they feel validated in said belief.

[displacedvermoter]

75. Old Testament believers,

Not much of that Christ-like love the Gospels are full of!

[Johnny2X2X]

10. I find this incredibly sad

Just shows how many people were bamboozled. We always knew 1/4 to 1/3 of the country are brain dead MAGA, they are lost causes. But he won by bamboozling another 15-20% of the voters, people who got taken in by propaganda, people who didn't remember the disaster of this first term. Those people are finding out right now and there's not a lot they can do about it. These are the people who need to be mobilized.

[Escape]

12. 22 percent say...

that Trump has done a good job of handling the release of the Epstein files.. ?

Another way to say that would be... 22% are fucking idiots and their opinion on any topic should never be requested or evaluated again.

[regnaD kciN]

15. I can't help but recall George Carlin's line...

“Think of how stupid the average person is. Then, realize that half of them are stupider than that.”

[chouchou]

13. According to a 2017 survey conducted by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy....

The survey of 1,000 adults found that 7% of Americans believed that chocolate milk came from brown cows, which translates to roughly 16 to 17 million people.

Key Details About the Finding:
Survey Context: The survey was conducted by a dairy industry group..
Extent of Misconception: In addition to the 7% who said it came from brown cows, nearly 48% of participants didn't know where chocolate milk came from.

Probably the same thoughts toward Donald Trump.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

17. Exactly. Pneumonia probably polls at 30% approval because it isn't that "old" monia people used to get, but the...

...improved "new" monia....



There is a polling floor to any issue of around 25% due to just sheer stupidity and self-centered cruelty.

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. Wow 😳

Ou education system has failed.

[Grim Chieftain]

31. I'm a retired professor and I can honestly say students have dumbed down

Many are intellectually incurious, too much screen time, minimal interest in national and world issues, with failure to seek out news unless it's snippets on a chat site that has minimal credibility. The last five years I taught, I'd get to my classes early and try to engage students in current events. It's appalling.

I'll never forget, I ran into a student in the grocery store during the "shock and awe" phase of W's war. It was day three or four and she was totally unaware it had even begun. It seriously frightens me to think what this disengagement and apathy could mean for our country.

[senseandsensibility]

50. That was a long time ago (W's war)

Almost a generation ago and before the prevalence of social media. I have to say that I sometimes despair about young people as well, but as a former teacher I mostly was energized and inspired by them. I'm no Pollyanna, and teaching wasn't all sunshine and roses, but they inspired me every day. I am an eternal optimist when it comes to young people. Unfortunately, in the last election many of them were influenced by the "manosphere" and other social media sites set up specifically to influence them. I hope the Dems have a plan to counteract that.

[Grim Chieftain]

55. I know when W's war took place.

My post has to do with the continual detachment of young people from the news and current events. It began years ago and has continued to spiral, especially with the advent of social media My husband and I could not help but notice how few younger people were at our local "No Kings" protest. I hope that was not the case across the country.

It takes dedicated educators - among others - to help inspire, encourage and provoke curiosity in today's young. They are the future of our democracy.

[senseandsensibility]

57. I was just marveling at how long ago it was

that you had that experience. Sorry, didn't mean to offend you.

[Grim Chieftain]

61. No problem, friend

[senseandsensibility]

62. Back atcha!

[mwmisses4289]

40. Wait...seriously? Around 70 people in that study claimed to believe

that chocolate milk comes from brown cows?!? I think people were messing with the survey takers.

[Bettie]

19. What I find interesting about this is that the volume of

the people who still support him has gone so far up. They are all over social media (local Facebook) I keep an account for communication with a few relatives I don't want to talk to on the phone and for reading our town FB pages which often have information on stuff we might need to know about....like how Highway 30 is after the sleet, snow, ice, etc.

But, the MAGAt true believers are in a frenzy these days, multiple posts a day about how wonderful he is and how things are better than ever....real "I'm trying to convince myself that reality isn't real". They state that gas prices are the lowest they've ever been, that we're winning wars all over the world.

The most devoted MAGAts are losing their shit, because they don't know how to deal with the fact that he is actively harming them.

[BannonsLiver]

21. His support is pretty clearly not "going up".

Our anecdotal experiences with friends, family, and acquaintances on social media are totally irrelevant.

[Bettie]

30. My point wasn't that his support is actually going up

it is that his most ardent supporters are losing their shit and screaming constantly about their mad god-king. They are certain that their beliefs are reality.

I live in a very red area where a number of people have made adoration of that creature their entire personalities.....and they are hanging on tighter and tighter.

That's why it is interesting to me.

They will eventually come to some form of closure, but it endangers their sense of self as they have made their entire existence about their adoration of this one man, or whatever he is.

Given who some of these people are, I honestly fear they will become violent.

Most of the signs and flags have come down, but the ones that still have theirs up or have added new ones....those are the people I worry about.

[Ilikepurple]

59. Anecdotal evidence generally has low confirmation value, but is not totally irrelevant. Even in this case.

You are most likely correct that his support is pretty clearly not going up, though that wasn’t Bettie’s point. I understood what Bettie was trying to say while having a slight difficulty reconciling the wording at the beginning of Bettie’s post. Sometimes a little intellectual empathy will take understanding further than rigidity. To dismiss an entire block of thought because someone misspoke or is relaying their experience seems like facile intellectualism that does little more than someone think twice about sharing their thoughts on this board.

[Doodley]

26. i have family members like that. i think it is all down to bigotry. They all seem to have a lot of anger and

resentment about other people, other groups of people, or other nations. Everything Trump does is through that lens.

[GiqueCee]

29. I believe it's common knowledge...

... that White House communication nerds employ bots to inflate approval numbers, at least for the Orange Shitgibbon's consumption, but I'm sure they also use them to pull the wool over MAGA eyes as well. Deceiving that crew is as easy as your uncle magically pulling a quarter out of your ear when you were five. Those pitiful zombies have to be told how to breathe.

[displacedvermoter]

32. It is also common knowledge that Trump is syphilitic

[GiqueCee]

34. Would that it were so...

[displacedvermoter]

35. I have seen it on the Internet

and James Carville says so, as well!

[GiqueCee]

52. It MUST be true, then!

[displacedvermoter]

58. I tell people it is true, regardless.

The power of positive thinking!

[BannonsLiver]

20. He's never going to zero so I'm going to take the W and not whine about it still being "toO hiGh!1"

[Mr. Sparkle]

23. According to this poll of polls

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/democratic-party

we are now, at last, more popular than Trump. It was polling from fox and the daily fail that shockingly brought up our averages.

I cant believe we are so low in the polls , until i look at our leadership and go , Ah!

[blue-wave]

24. Still way too high

What the hell are these 33% not understanding?

[31st Street Bridge]

28. Problem is, it doesn't matter if his approval is ZERO!

If Congress isn't going to throw him out, he is impervious to anything.
He can wreck everything and not pay a price at all.
Polls like this are ridiculous; we don't have a parliamentary system.

[displacedvermoter]

33. Very true in many ways

[ColoringFool]

37. My Dear Aunt Knows One Of The 30%. That Person Didn't Even Know.....

That Trump had previous wives.

[Torchlight]

39. I'm thinking it'll be at 27-28% by midterms

He's not a course-corrections kind of guy, more a double-down-and-keep-pissing-everyone-off dude. Best chance most of the GOP have running for reelection are to use the spring and summer to better distance themselves. But, knowing their loyalty for tin gods and profit, we can rest assured the majority of 'em will simply continue kneeling at the knees of the orange calf.

[yaesu]

44. About the very same percentage of Americans suffering from acute stupid syndrome. nt

[Wicked Blue]

45. Finally some movement!

His job approval numbers have hovered around a low of 37% for many months. I've never seen them go lower until now.

Every time I've seen a news headline announcing that his numbers have dropped, it's nonsense. When you read the story, it's clear the percentage had remained at 37% or slightly more.

This is the first time I've seen a shift in his job approval ratings. The 33% figure may not seem like much, but a 4% shift is a significant number - it represents one out of every 25 people polled. With a voting age population estimated at 262 million, this could represent a shift of as many as 655,000 possible voters. It's more than the populations of Vermont and Wyoming.

And look at the turnout at Saturday's No Kings protest. The media seems to have settled on 8 million as the number of participants. However the corporate media has always under-counted protests organized by opponents of the status quo, and I have seen the number 9 million floated around here and there.

Even some MAGAts seem to be getting sick of the gas prices, the high cost of food, the possibility of a ground war in Iran that would claim many American lives, the increasing job layoffs and more.

Let us hope this is the beginning of a downward trend in his numbers.

[BaronChocula]

46. This may be one of those outliers

So I think. The swing from high 30s (one recent poll from last week had him at 41) is huge and hard to believe in such a short period of time, even with the compounded ministerial incompetence. But I think it may be a sign of another downward slide. But if other polls this week show him at 33, I'll gladly eat some crow. Or maybe just have a shot of Wild Turkey.

[Wicked Blue]

47. This is from today's NJ.com

"A Reuters/Ipsos poll from last Tuesday also found that Trump’s approval rating had dipped to the lowest point in his second term, at 36%."

Unfortunately the article has a paywall.

https://www.nj.com/politics/2026/03/trump-breaks-alarming-record-as-new-poll-delivers-brutal-verdict-on-his-presidency.html

[BaronChocula]

48. Drip drip drip

[mdbl]

49. Why bother to do polls? He doesn't give a crap anyway.

[senseandsensibility]

51. Is this a highly rated poll?

I do enjoy seeing his poll numbers plunge.

[Norbert]

53. 33% is horrible

I figure his base is about 30%. He will always get most of this even if his policies renders them homeless (remember, it'sBiden'sfault). Given this, he has little else but his base.

[JI7]

54. The lower than usual numbers are people upset with the gas prices

I always said Trump's support will go down over preller being affected economically.

Not over things like open corruption, abuse, etc.

They might not even care about the war as long as it didn't affect them.

[unblock]

56. 33% approval is certainly bad, but 62% disapproval is atrocious.

That leaves only 5% who have no opinion or don't feel strongly enough one way or the other. A clear majority disapprove, most of them probably strongly so, he's always had huge strong disapproval numbers.

A democracy wouldn't stand for this. In a parliamentary system, there would be a no confidence vote and we'd have a new national leader in a matter of weeks.

[samsingh]

60. i can't think of a bigger loser president - how is it still so high?

which imbeciles support what he is doing?

[struggle4progress]

64. If his ship is going down, somebody better toss Donny a pair of concrete overshoes

[eppur_se_muova]

66. When people say he's "done well at .... ", demand an example.

They'll list all sorts of crap he (a) had nothing to do with, (b) actively opposed/ruined, or (c) hijacked for personal profit. When it comes to Trmp taking credit, it'll be (d) all of the above.

[mgardener]

68. Bush was that low

Trump is so much worse.
Who are these ignorant people that keep supporting him?

[Warpy]

69. He had ONE JOB: Keep us outof WW III

Last edited Mon Mar 30, 2026, 10:35 PM - Edit history (1)

Insead, he has probably started it.

If you though tariffs threw a monkey wrench into the economy, wait until you see the oil shocks when they get here. Yes, we produce more than we use, but we'll be competing with anyone out there who is willing to buy a tanker full of it at $200/barrel.

We have been here before, people, and this is a fucking rerun for all of us who are over 70. This one will be like most sequels, worse than the original.

Asit plays out, I fully expect him to sink below Nixon's dismal last poll of 24% favorable, and Nixon didn't even bear the brunt of the oil shocks, he just worsened them.

[BumRushDaShow]
