Trump’s approval rating fluctuation by 1-2% every week is just statistical probability error. There’s no reason to overthink this data as it comes in every week.
The grim reality we need to understand is there’s a baseline of *at least* 35% of Americans who would give their life for Trump. There’s probably another 15% or so who were dumb/gullible enough to vote for him, but could potentially be swayed. These are the folks who affect these random dips between polls.
Roughly 1 in 3 Americans are honest-to-goodness committed to the cult like their life depends on it. There’s no tragedy, no controversy, no disaster that could ever sway these people from literally worshipping Trump.

> Trump’s approval ratings this week in polls — including the Post-Ipsos poll and others from Reuters, Quinnipiac University, CNN and Gallup — have ranged from 44 percent to 47 percent.
> Americans oppose [shuttering of USAID] by 21 points in the Post-Ipsos poll (59-38) and 25 points in the CNN poll (53-28).
> CNN poll shows Americans oppose his tariffs on aluminum and steel by 15 points (49-34), while the Post-Ipsos poll shows nearly 2-to-1 opposition to his 25 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. About 7 in 10 Americans think tariffs generally increase the price of products in the United States.
> About the only Trump proposals on which Americans lean in support are the 10 percent tariffs on China (50-45) and mass deportation (51-45). […] Americans strongly oppose deporting undocumented immigrants who aren’t criminals (57-39), who arrived as children (70-26) and who have U.S. citizen children (66-30).
> In the CNN poll, Musk having a prominent role in the administration is viewed as a “bad thing” (54-28) by a nearly 2-to-1 ratio. The Post-Ipsos poll showed Americans disapprove by a similarly wide margin (52-26) of Musk “shutting down federal government programs that he decides are unnecessary.”
> The Reuters poll shows his economic approval at 39 percent, which is lower than it ever was in his first term.
Trump himself polling 5-10+ points better than all the crazy shit he’s doing really emphasizes how vibes are the only thing that matters anymore and just how much of an uphill battle Democrats will face.

This all assume this administration gives a rats ass about any of this. Do they care about approval? This is about Trump being immune, Elon LARPing as a forensic accountant / stealing money from the government, and the Heritage Foundation doing the 2nd american revolution. Theyre already in the house. Are they gonna change direction because a bunch of braindead median voters remembered these people are evil? No, this is what theyve been prepping for since 2021 and what 30-40% of the country will gleefully cheer on
Maybe if Trump craters the economy and gets real unpopular then the legislative branch will locate a spine but im not holding my breath

The only poll Trump cared about ended on 11/5/24. There is no reason for him to care what his “approval rating” is anymore. If he is still in power in 2029, it won’t be because he won another election. He knows he never has to do that again regardless.

Why do they care about approval numbers anymore? They got what they wanted, they don’t need the useful idiots anymore.

Gee if only the median American voter had some inkling of what he would do. If only there had been some kind of campaign where he talked about all this crazy crap over and over.
