Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
How would you know?
Can you personally confirm that ~90 million people aren’t doing anything?
That’s like asking to prove that God doesn’t exist, because nothing has changed or happened that suggests they are doing something.
And if that’s the way you want to play, you must be able to personally confirm that 200 million voters are complacent after voting. Because surely you aren’t a hypocrite who expects me to account for every single individual unless you’re already doing that for yourself.
Exactly. So you understand the point that I’m making.
I can personally confirm that 130 million voters are complacent. This is self-evident in the fact that nobody’s taken a shot at the president since before the election. I can also confirm that you’ve over-estimated the number of voters by almost double.
Two people took shots at the president before the election, they were both registered voters.
Voters taking shots: 2
Nonvoters taking shots: 0
So tell me what you personally know your 90 million nonvoters are doing.
Neither of those people were voters, they were either dead or in prison for the election.
Hey the 2024 general election was not the first and only vote to ever exist.
Is your argument that they should be counted as voters even though they didn’t vote?
My argument is that voting makes you a voter, including the 2020 general election and midterms.
Why are you biting the bullet in such a silly situation. They were politically active, besides voting also making donations to political parties. People who are invested in the political process do more.
So your argument is that someone who used to vote should still count as a “voter” even if they didn’t vote last year?
