In normal political times, I think you're absolutely correct. When a president becomes unpopular, people seeking a more prominent role in the party will start to challenge or separate themselves.

The fact that we aren't seeing this at all should be a very worrying sign for anybody concerned about the future of the GOP. 

You’ll start to see it after the midterms. Most republicans know Trump is a corrupt old dirtbag. They don’t say anything because he’s holding the party hostage and petty AF.

Once the midterms are over, he won’t have any leverage and the party will start to break from him. No sane Republican wants to sign off on the last 2 years of Don’s lame duck term.

Here’s some fascinating numbers from that Florida election last night: of the 17,000 votes for the Democrat, only 12,000 of them were registered Democrats. More registered Republicans voted than regis

You said Obama’s rating in his second term, after being re-elected, was because of what happened at the beginning of his first term. Just own up to the thing you made up on the fly.  

It’s always amusing how my conceding a point results in more derision from you. Here’s Obama’s approval tracking. He definitely spent popularity on ACA from the first term. That’s shown. Then it went up, declined, went up again.

Here’s Donald’s 1st term where he landed at 34.

What am I supposed to glean from Obama’s second term?

I thought Nixon was below 30 but I guess not. I think we might soon see our first sub-30 President. When do we start hearing the chants to resign?

Yeah, I thought so too. My recollection is that Nixon hit 28% - 29% near the end, but maybe that was in some polls but not in polls overall.

Disapproval of Trump Hits Highest Level of His Second Term ~~~ The president’s weakening poll numbers come as the war in Iran has driven up gas prices, and more Americans are expressing concerns about the economy.

<<<

Concern about the economy is reaching a fever pitch. Seven in ten voters now say that the economy is getting worse for them and their families, up from 55 percent just one year ago in a recent Fox News poll. Economic anxiety is also up sharply with the president’s base. Nearly half of Republicans now say the economy is getting worse, double the share who said the same last April.

This comes as Mr. Trump’s approval on the economy stands at 34 percent and his approval on handling inflation at just 28 percent. Voters are far more likely to approve of how he has been handling immigration and the border. Nearly half of all voters — 46 percent — approve of Mr. Trump’s immigration policy.>>>

Liberals actually believe this economy is worse than Carters. It’s laughable.

The most amazing and significant turnaround is with Hispanics. 

That number among whites is pretty shocking imo. Has any GOP President or presidential candidate been underwater with whites since maybe the Clinton era? Maybe pre-1980 for an actual President?

the one thing I wonder about Trumps approval rating is if it's because he is so divisive. Not divisive enough for Kamala to win, mind you... but divisive enough that I think the majority of people who didn't vote for him hate him so much that their polling response would be disapprove no matter what. Plus, people are more likely to disapprove in general or flip that way because it's human nature to complain. So anyone who was approving may have been doing so for low gas prices, their investments, etc. The market is doing great but rising gas prices, fluctuating things like beef and so on might have them disapprove. ... but unlike other presidents when things go well, when gas prices inevitably come back down for example, you still have that huge segment of the population that is automatically disapproving.

it was all the No Kings rallies... or so i'm told 

No, the Trumpmeister did this all on his own… if & when the GOP gets blown out it will be because of people who wouldn’t be caught dead at a no kings rally.

<<<Among Trump’s 2024 voters, approval has fallen from 95% in the early days of his term to 78% today. Among younger supporters, just 57% of Trump voters under 35 now approve of his job performance, marking a major drop from the near-universal support he enjoyed among his coalition at the beginning of his second term. The drop is a whopping 35 points from the 92% approval rating he enjoyed among his youngest voters at the start of 2025.>>>

Look, as a liberal I’d love to tell you it’s the ICE stuff, the racist (IMO) stuff, the divisive stuff- the fact that he’s (IMO) inept and narcissistic and exhausting- and all of that is a little bit true. I think in the case of Hispanics the ICE stuff has had a huge impact. 
 

But overall it’s none of these things. It’s the high prices at gas and grocery.

Giftwrapped Democratic TV ad. DNC says than you, Donaldo!!

Man...where is RLLD to discuss this?

Eh...he'd just excuse it because Trump wasn't asked about it...he offered it up.
