trump will hit the ground running.........away from being unpopular.

[westwall]

For simplistic thinkers, yes.

As much as Republicans want to throw around words such as “landslide” and “mandate,” 2024 was one of the closest elections in American history. Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris in the popular vote by less than 1.5%; only one election in the last half-century (in 2000) was closer. And the razor-thin margins by which Republicans control both the House and the Senate testify to how closely the electorate is divided.

Well, you ARE a simpleton.

 

[WelfareQueen]

Republicans insist that Trump is hugely popular. His polls say otherwise.​

Exaggerating the size of a president’s victory is not new. After George W. Bush won re-election in 2004, for instance, he bragged about spending his new “political capital.” But this time, the scale of the hyperbole is classically Trumpian.

And the razor-thin margins by which Republicans control both the House and the Senate testify to how closely the electorate is divided.

Still, most new presidents typically enjoy a honeymoon period: Fresh from their election victory, the public invests them with hopes for positive change and gives them the benefit of the doubt. Joe Biden, for instance, had 57% approval in the first Gallup poll of his presidency; Barack Obama came in at 67% approval. Even Bush, who like Trump lost the popular vote in his first victory, started at 57%. In fact, Trump was the only president in the Gallup poll’s history — going all the way back to Harry Truman — who entered office with an approval rating under 50%. He was also the only one to never crack 50% approval for a single day of an entire term.

On the verge of his second term, even after his first popular vote victory in three tries, Trump’s approval is weak. A new Marist/NPR poll puts it at just 44%; 49% say they disapprove of him. The Economist/YouGov poll gives him a similar 45/51 split, while a USA Today/Suffolk University survey has his favorability/unfavorability at 47% each.

New surveys suggest he’ll face the same widespread public opposition in his second term that he faced in his first.

'Flood the zone': NYT report reveals top Trump aide's plan to crush foes​

Miller is also calculating that he will succeed by what the Times describes as "flooding the zone" — that is, by doing so many outrageous things that Trump's political opponents will simply grow exhausted and give up fighting.

"He believes that those he regards as Mr. Trump’s enemies — Democrats, the media, groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and portions of the federal bureaucracy — are depleted and only have so much bandwidth for outrage and opposition," writes the Times. "Mr. Miller has told people that the goal is to overwhelm them with a blitz of activity."

Additionally, the report documents how Miller has risen to prominence despite or because of the fact that even many of his fellow Republicans regard him as a racist.

I'll be watching to see if trump gets through Feb. with an approval rating above 40%.

Are those the same polls that said Hillary would win in a landslide and the Kamala race with Trump was neck and neck? Dim media polls don't mean shit.

 

[j-mac]

And Trump will become more unpopular as his wrongheaded agenda is pursued and the policy failures pile up.

Does a politician have to be a progressive to be "popular"?

Look, fact is, Trump won the popular vote. So, your claim of being 'UN popular' is just your fantasy.

 

[Mashmont]

Inflation has come way down. High food prices are sticky. It must be why trump acknowledged as much while walking back his promise to lower them. But not until after he convinced the rubes of another lie.

Saying inflation is coming down is like saying the house is just smoldering embers now. The damage has been done.

 

[sartre play]

You think Democrats with provide less propaganda and suddenly turn honest?

No.

WE should all hope both major political party's make some attempt to lessen the party propaganda,
And we need to attempt to DEMAND more honesty from All of those who are elected gov officials.
Some measure of unity/ working together for solutions, needs too happen.

You twaddling disingenuous chumps already had the last four years and the entire Bathhouse Barry regime to do that....Did that happen?

So, NO DEI

Most of the cabinet nominees and trump himself are the Right's equivalent of AA picks.

Be warned. When the news of the day is "Trump says he wants to buy Canada" something else is going on somewhere else. That's the news and we won't be talking about it because we'll be distracted with nonsense.

You have a lot of interesting theories.
You should submit them to Reader's Digest.

[Modern Messiah]

Reality; polls with results you don't like are meaningless.........passing a tax cut for the rich is the Repub measure of success.............his approval ratings are much lower at the beginning of his term than other prez's..........if this term is as successful as the last one it will be another epic failure........he's already been rated as one of the worst prez's of the last century and is on track to solidify that rating.

Nothing you mentioned in your post means anything.
The American People have spoken.
Move on. Stop being such a psycho hose beast.

There is no national popular vote

 

[Modern Messiah]

We’ve been here before.

“Donald Trump’s final job approval rating as president was 29% in a Pew Research Center poll released last week, the lowest of his presidency and a 9 percentage point drop since August, when 38% of U.S. adults approved.”

How we know the drop in Trump’s approval rating in January reflected a real shift in public opinion

The 9-point fall in approval was the largest change between two Pew Research Center polls since Donald Trump took office.

www.pewresearch.org

And Trump will be as unpopular in his second term as his first, a nation once again exhausted by Trump’s chaos, incompetence, and lies.

On the contraire monfraire.
He is actually gaining in popularity as we speak.
Don't worry.
You can still yell at the sky.

Is it weird that you Democrats only want to work together after you lose?
When you win it's literally go sit in the back seat, elections have consequences.

 

[Rawley]

Polls? You mean the national poll last November when Trump obliterated the Democrats and won the popular vote that poll?

I didn't read it, but I heard that Schumer was the one to break the news to Biden that he was being kicked to the curb. He showed Biden the real polls that gave him a 5% chance of beating Trump. Evidently Biden's campaign stooges had been hiding these polls from the old coot.
