1. 30%. There is the cult.

[rpannier]

11. Millionaires, Billionaires, Hockey and Baseball players

Make up part of that 30%
Football players also are in that
Saw a report that the majority of (American) Baseball players and Hockey players are Republikkan. A little less than 50% of football players are. I'm guessing a lot of pro soccer players are republikkans too

[thesquanderer]

18. though even a good number of Republicans are expressing their disapproval these days. (n/t)

[BannonsLiver]

2. It will be 80 by November.

I think there’s still some room to grow.

[FHRRK1]

4. Not sure

It should go that low and lower, but about 15% of the electorate support fascism, 30 to 35% support authoritarianism. So we might be seeing some ignorant people peel off. (Those who have been truly harmed in the last year) Bush dropped to 25% but that was in a full economic meltdown. Ever meet a Bush voter who admitted they were wrong?

Thus I think 25% plus or minus a couple of points is the floor.

One caveat, Trump is a bigger loser AND if we get down that low then the Country will be in full meltdown mode.

[meadowlander]

7. It never meaningfully dropped below 40 in the first six years of his Presidencies so we may be in new territory.

[FHRRK1]

9. you have more faith in ignorant Repukes than I do

You make a valid point. But I think the core Republican voter is a piece of shit human being.

[meadowlander]

19. Agree but one of the characteristics of a piece of shit human being is that they put themselves first

and it's not like Trump is actually doing anything for these people other than validating their hate for the people they hate anyway. The risk of being drafted to fight in Iran or losing their job to AI or not being able to afford food is going to intrude on their realities at some point.

[FHRRK1]

27. Valid point

I know of one that is now on the fence due to his kid being in the Army.

[misanthrope]

34. Yeah, but they are selfish

Which means when they're pocketbook gets hit, they get crabby.

[rpannier]

12. I'd say to get to 25% we'd need a Hoover-level collapse of the economy

But, 28% of the country would probably tell us either: 1) It's getting better and it is Biden and Obama's fault; and/or 2) Everything is just fine and the numbers are really better than that

[Wiz Imp]

3. He absolutely CAN go lower.

He's at just 26% approval on Inflation and 21% on Gas Prices. 77% of all those surveyed believe Trump's policies have made the cost of living worse. 69% believe a recession is somewhat likely or very likely in the next year.

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. What this poll does not show

One thing that seems to be happening is the number of moving from "Strongly Approve" to "Somewhat Approve".

Also, the number of "Strongly Disapprove" shows highly motivated voters that want this to end and are more likely to overcome obstacles to make that happen.

The GOP has given up on trying to appeal to voters and concentrate on stopping people from voting.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Here are some numbers - for "Strongly Approve/Disapprove"

https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/54761-donald-trump-net-approval-holding-steady-near-joe-biden-worst-numbers-may-9-11-2026-economist-yougov-poll

Strongly Approve 20%
Strongly Disapprove 49%

[vapor2]

6. There has to be a red line for these goons

[phxjurist]

8. Out of my 10 family members 3 are MAGA, and they will never change their minds about Trump.

[3Hotdogs]

16. I'm now for Trump. Last year, I could only fit $23 of gas in my tank.

Now I can fit $45 of it in the tank. So my trips are costing less.




















Where's da rim shot?

[orleans]

21. here ya go

[littlemissmartypants]

31. Right on the nose ... the magic number...

Thirty percent.

10. If the Democratic candidate were to win the popular vote in 2028 by 70%-30%

I'd be overjoyed. That would mean a bluenami at every level, down evern to local offices in red states.

[Ars Longa]

13. I believe it could go lower, but,

these people likely won't vote for Democrats!!! They could
very well just not vote at all!! Which would be a big step
forward!!

[angrychair]

14. Don't believe these polls

Go out and talk to actual Republicans and I promise you they are all 100% loyal and to think different is only fooling yourself.

How many times are we going to go through this?
We listen to polls that say "Republicans are doing horrible" only for him to win again.
This country values certain traits above all others and that is misogyny, xenophobia, bigotry and racism. Oh and this country LOVES pedophiles and rapists. It's literally full of them
I mean our country is literally run by a man that is both a pedophile and a rapist. Millions of people voted for him knowing that about him.
We literally busted 8 different DISNEY CRUISE SHIPS full of pedophiles just this week.

I would love nothing more than dance around the May Pole with puppies and kittens and talk about how great our country is but that just isn't the case. Our country is deeply rooted in hate and anger and violence and above all willful ignorance. We are literally famous for it around the world.
Our country is world famous for three things and three things only, literally synonymous with being America:
Ignorance
Violence
Greed

That's it.

[Morbius]

22. They believe the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.

And to be fair, I am starting to believe the opposite. Trump is indeed the worst Republican.

[orleans]

23. not to change the subject but what are you talking about with those disney cruise ships getting busted? nt

[angrychair]

24. Oh yea, its gross

Here is the link to the story:

15. That 30% just happens to be the same number of...

Those predicted to have "psychopathic traits."

So, I wouldn't expect that 30% to abandon the king of the psychopaths ever.

Prevalence in the United States
Approximately 70% of the
population is estimated to
have no psychopathic traits
whatsoever.

25. holy crap -- your "key point" of 30% low/medium/high is shocking & extremely disturbing

and in every one of those 19 characteristics i see trump

[littlemissmartypants]

30. Eye opening, isn't it? ❤️

[multigraincracker]

20. $15 per gallon will change everything.

[SonOfNebanaube]

26. Aye...

That 33% are the evangelicals. They are too blind to know that they're already the damned.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. The Christian Nationalist psychopaths? ... Literally, quite possibly...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=21235678

[SSJVegeta]

29. No but they might starve to death

[OAITW r.2.0]

32. I think 27% is the floor. 3% can still get woke.

[misanthrope]

33. You think this is bad?

Trump gave indication in the last couple of days he is still considering action against Cuba. If he follows through, these mere sour feelings will turn to white-hot rage from the public.

And that is still not counting what's going to happen as summertime disaster season cranks up and his emergency relief will be as bungled as the rest of his efforts are. Some wildfires and hurricanes would likely only pile onto the electorate's frustration.
