Maybe if they staged another assassination attempt it will turn his polls around.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Huh. Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed this based on talking to people in my town.
The Economist said Thursday that during its 17 years of tracking presidents with YouGov, Trump hit the lowest mark with a net approval rating of -25.
25 years covers exactly four presidents. YouGov is primarily doing internet surveys. Headline gore is business as usual.
The Economist reported. “Our forecasting model says the Democrats have a nine-in-ten chance of winning control of the House of Representatives. The Senate is a toss-up.”
Half the joke of all these polls and predictions. You'd like to think "Most unpopular President in history" would produce a bigger reactionary impulse than "80% of Congress guaranteed to keep their jobs and maybe 5 Senate seats out of 33 are in play".
So much of the US political scene is in the grip of machine politics and so many of the opposition political establishment is perfectly fine with 90% of what the current President is doing. Turnout will be lackluster, as usual. Most incumbents will sleep soundly, assuming they survived their primaries. And entrenched partisans will turn out to vote straight ticket, because they're trapped in a media echo chamber that reiterates all the same beliefs they've been fed since Reagan.
The only real material difference in politics seems to boil down to "Are you angry that a Cheeto is in the White House?"
Nepo-baby-con-man-pedo-protector-diaper-shitting-delusional-egomaniacal-white-suprematist-lapdog-of-putin-and-Israel orange man Donald J Trump, president of the United States is unpopular????
Color me shocked! Every Good American should be praying daily to Ronald McDonald, our lord & savior, to hold off the inevitable consequences of a trash diet & colesterol-jammed arteries until the Unimpeachable Don completes the lords work here in America, client-state and appointed defender of the holy land of Bibis genocidal Israel
I'm honestly surprised
He's the dumbliest president we've ever had. And that's dumb, with a B, most people don't know that..
Most people don't know about the "liest" part either but it's true.
