A normal president would be 90+%. People want competent leadership during a time of crisis. He's getting all the benefit of the doubt and this is going to drag for months. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the low 20s on this issue once people who cant do anything but stay home watch news and digest everything
How is 55% of the country in approval of Trumps response to the virus?
- Thread starter winb83
- Start date
"When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done." - Trump Feb 26th.
Tomorrow will have been 30 days from when that was said. In about a month instead of going to 0 it went to 65,000. We will cross over 1000 dead. Hundreds die a day. Over 200 died today.
Still they approve of him.

Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Trump, after we start getting to 500 plus dead a day will say.
"It could've been much much worse. There could be millions dead. Think about that. Millions. But I acted quick. Quicker than any president and closed China. A very big thing. But we are seeing lots of deaths but it could've been much worse. We are doing a tremendous job. Believe me."

It was really only a matter of time before something tanked the economy and several of our resident "independents," "libertarians," "progressives," and "ADOS" all come out as straight up MAGA Trump supporting Republicans.
I don't think people understand just how unequivocally poor Donald Trump's response to this pandemic truly was or how uniquely horrible this is about to become in this country. And rather than focus on war-time emergency resources and response, this buffoon of a President--who has finally met a crisis he can't send cronies to cover up, but at this point has come to believe he has super powers--want's to ignore experts and see Americans join in sacred Christian union on Easter Sunday and get their asses back to work around the same time the pandemic will peak in critical numbers.
We are so fukked y'all. This fool had a whole shadow foreign policy in the Ukraine trying to pin election interference on the DNC and prove his own intelligence agencies wrong, but now this psychopath is almost determined to prove he's smarter than doctors and health experts on a fukking virus and do whatever he wants with a damn pandemic on his hands. At first I thought this could be like Katrina. This is gonna be a slow, inevitable, beyond-9/11 disaster. And some of y'all still out here tryna "own the libs" and "support Trump."
I swear when we run up on a nationwide shortage of hospitable beds, masks, and gloves while a rising number of hundreds of thousands are falling ill and unemployment is at 20% theColi gonna be the only place full of people who talk like this.
Those rednecks gotta die by the hundreds of thousands in order for them to change their minds. TLR is filled with these Trump supporting bums.
When the death rate goes over 100k, is when people will turn against him. On top of a shattered economy.

Empire strikes back
I'm talking about symbol status presidents/leaders in the future. I don't see anyone like that amongst dems or gop (well, Bloomberg maybe but he's too timid) yet.
a lot of right wingers don't really like trump in particular, they just like what he stands for and how he pisses us off.
This is very dangerous. A politician can be displaced. A symbol is never displaced in people's mind.

By “we” you mean New York and a few other cities. The majority of the USA is still fine. It hasn’t impacted most lives

I think it's also worth noting that this one poll is still abysmal considering the nature of the crisis and that this is just the first one we're seeing.
Some of y'all must be too young to remember when 9/11 spiked up George Bush's public approval through the roof among both Republicans and Democrats; when the Iraq War also prompted positive perception of the Bush administration in the began; how he won re-election and Hurricane Katrina a year later hardly put a dent in his approval ratings despite all the revising history of how Americans perceived Bush's poor job as President.
And its gonna be a whole lot of revising history a year from now when history books have to pretend Americans gave one iota of a fukk about Donalds Trump's historic failures and corruption and didnt sit back holding devoted faith in him every step of the way (even now) until he objectively proved himself to be the WOAT President of the US.
The truth is when crisis' happen in America--certainly something as apolitical as a global viral outbreak--Americans first instinct isnt to look at elected leaders with disappointment and skepticism, our first instinct is to fall in line with our leaders, believe what they say, assume they got this under control, go on with our day and stay positive. We did with Bush again and again and again until the country was in a freefall, and Americans will do it with Donald Trump.
Bush benefited from being an incompetent wartime President. His approval ratings, in spite of all his failures, didnt begin to dip into the historical lows we recognize his Presidency for until like 6 years in, long after Katrina and long after we gave the motherfukker a second term and let him completely tank a national crisis and the economy. And we are seeing history play out all over again, except Trump is so uniquely awful he's managed to fukk up even worse than Bush did in less than half the time.
55% approval of the President's handling of a brand new, completely apolitical health crisis is fukking pathetic. shyt like this, regardless of the response, should be nothing but home run, approval rating-boosting, reassuring Presidential PR sport for any normal administration.
If 55% approval is all he's got to work with from jump and knowing everything we know about the status of this pandemic now, dude is toast by November.
Dude gonna run for re-election as an impeached President with a botched up pandemic response, 20% unemployment rate after inheriting one of the strongest consistent job markets ever, 1987 level stock market losses (and that's assuming it dont get even worse than this) after inheriting one of the biggest stock market rallies in history, no wall, no N Korea denuclearization, no middle east peace deals, no "deals deals deals." Nothing but failures and insults.
He's nothing but food for Biden and Dems come November. Now sit back and watch all the concern troll "independents" who argued Democrats have to run on something more than just fear mongering about Trump praise Trump like he's God for running on nothing but shouting "socialism" and fear mongering about Democrats in lieu of a single political achievement come November. Im not sure whether im gonna watch Fox News, just to watch them seethe, or if ill get a good laugh on TLR watching a bunch of "independent" "black men" get pissed watching conservative zaddy being shytted on.

I don’t know about all that.
There have been about 20 things that would've sank any other president but haven't affected Trump, this is just another one on the list.
Trump is seen as the savior of traditional white America, so that crowd is never going to abandon Trump no matter how many deaths there are or how bad the economy gets.
Maybe if Dems are motivated enough to turn out, Biden can squeak by, but it's time to give up on the idea that any fukk up on Trump's part will change public opinion of him in any significant way.

Remember the thread where people were asking where Biden was and you said him not making appearances was not a big deal? This is why people wanted him making appearances. At that time Trump was the only voice in the media talking about the crisis saying what was being done. No one was talking about the fact that things got as bad as they are because of Trump not dealing with it seriously from the beginning. No one was talking about the giveaways to corporations that were being thrown in at the expense of putting money in the hands of the public.
We pretty much just have Trump and his "experts" on the news everyday saying he has things under control and no one on the other side saying anything different.
