New Polls Show That Trump Should Be Afraid. Very Very Afraid.
It's not that his approval rating is low (although it is). It's that his disapproval rating is so high.

The least significant data point in the Fox News poll was that Trumps job approvaldeclined from 46 percent in July to 43 percent in August. Instead lets focus on his disapproval rating. Not only was it up 5 percentage points to 56 percent (only one point below the highest disapproval rating of his presidency in October of 2017), but its up above 50 percent for almost every demographic: 64 percent among independents, 53 percent among men, 46 percent among white men, 53 percent of those older than 45, 61 percent among suburban women (59 percent of women overall), and 55 percent among whites with a college degree. Trumps disapproval ratings even inched up to 11 percent among Republicans (only 7 percent of Democrats approve of Trumps job performance) and a full 26 percent among self- described conservatives (only 11 percent of liberals approve of Trumps job performance). He has a whopping 71 percent of moderate voters disapproving as well. In short, Trumps approval-to-disapproval ratio got worse among those he needs to have any chance of winning: older white, suburban, moderately to conservative and Independent voters.

(8,914 posts)methinks the 11 percent do not understand the word "liberal"
And just who are those 7% of Democrats who approve of his job performance? 🙄

(63,221 posts)You can tell yourself that you have thousands of friends and that everyone loves you, but you know deep inside that nobody even likes you and that you have never been loved by anyone.
You are hated with a passion by more people than probably any person who has ever lived. Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini never had the widespread media presence that you do, otherwise they would be contenders.

(118,622 posts)that Hitler was much more hated than Trump. Much deeper and probably more people around the world even accounting for the growth in population. Hitler, Mussolini had lots of press in the form of radio and film. Lots of people in the world are just minding their own business or laughing at Trump. It is not the same thing yet.

A recession will drive it higher because the blame will be on his shoulders. The Trade War with China is not helping either.
