Alyssa Farah: [2nd term] "presidents have been more unpopular [than Trump]. George W. Bush, Harry Truman, Nixon, George HW Bush, all got into the 20s."
The View ^ | 04/20/2026

...and I had this little debate at my kitchen table with my husband this week, and I was saying Trump is historically unpopular. And my husband actually pointed out and was accurate in the fact that he's historically unpopular for this point in his second term, but presidents have been more unpopular. George W. Bush, Harry Truman, Nixon, George HW Bush, all got into the 20s. Trump's at about 37...

So on the one hand, I think the argument that the MAGA base is fleeing in droves is a little overstated. But on the flip side, 37% is not winning you anything.

Trump has zero concern for polls at the moment. Or ever I guess.

He sure looks at polls for his endorsements. That’s a main priority.

He has no use for a Trump poll numbers.

“It’s the economy, stupid” — but if the Dems go too far left then it won’t matter.

But Trump is not running…

President Abraham Lincoln was treated by the press like they do President Trump. We have a “Confederacy” like they did 165 years ago.

I don’t watch the “View” because I can’t afford to lose any more brain cells, and the sucking noise you hear are the cells blowing out your ears.
