New Trump Poll: Nobody Wants This!

New Trump Poll: Nobody Wants This!

Quinnipiac released a new poll today showing Trump under water on every single issue, and his approval rating has slipped into the danger zone of the 30s where presidents really start to lose power within their own party (because mathematically, the only way to get into the 30s in our two-party duopoly is to lose people within your own party). Trump’s job approval rating currently sits at just 38 percent. Immigration, the subject the braindead popularists in the Democratic Party think we should surrender to Trump, is a double-digit net disapproval issue for the president now, with just 43 percent approving versus 54 percent disapproving in this generic topline figure that Matt Yglesias seemed certain was immovable in a now-deleted tweet he’d love you to forget about.

Trump’s approval on trade is near-catastrophic, garnering just 38 percent support against 57 percent who disapprove just as its price hikes begin to take root in places like Walmart. And the big, beautiful bill whose mere passage through the House got America’s credit downgraded, is wildly unpopular with Independents, 57 percent of whom oppose it versus just 20 percent on board with taking healthcare away from people to partially pay for the wealthy’s tax cuts.

Nobody wants this!

Just 18 percent of Republicans endorse the signature aspect of this bill, decreasing funding for Medicaid. A majority (56 percent) think it should remain the same while more Republicans (21 percent) want to increase funding for Medicaid than to decrease it. No wonder Josh Hawley wet his pants over Medicaid cuts in that NYT op-ed. Nobody wants this!

And yet, the media is still reporting on Trump as if it is November 2024 and he is at the height of his popularity. CBS and ABC are capitulating to his every whim, assuming that there is some silent majority out there desperate to see Terry Moran punished for saying true things about California’s most ghoulish creation, Stephen Miller. The New York Times is framing the LA protests in a Trump-friendly context, accepting the false premise that these protests are beneficial for him politically and therefore a bad idea for Democrats to endorse. Meanwhile, in the real world that our political and media elites have completely abandoned…

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump’s actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines.

This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive.

These protests are so manifestly righteous that craven weathervane Gavin Newsom is backing them up while endorsing their “peaceful” aspects! Nobody wants this!

And yet, we are forced to live under a mainstream narrative that has as much basis in reality as the MAGA belief that immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Ohio. It’s not hard to imagine a world where President Bernie Sanders is polling underwater to this degree, and how CBS “Trump may not be good for America, but he’s damn good for us” News may cover it. It would look diametrically opposite to the current status quo where major media essentially treats Trump as their assignment editor.

Trump’s agenda is not popular, and it is becoming less so. This was true when I wrote it in February, it was true when I wrote it in April and it is true today in June. Trump did not win a mandate in November, but if he had something resembling it, it was to lower prices. That was the signature issue animating the 2024 election and what Trump repeatedly promised to do. His trade war is destined to raise prices, and his mass deportation plan also will create huge economic shocks. A significant majority of people seem to see all of this now that it is being put into action, and it sure would be nice if the mainstream media stopped trafficking in narratives of their own creation and caught up to the fact that nobody wants this.
