Well, I’m loaded so I don’t have to worry about it..
...but not everyone is so lucky.

People vote with their pocketbooks.

That said, I don’t expect any President, regardless of party going forward to get above 40% approval.

ARG is a pretty low rated and inconsistent polling group.

Polls are meaningless. The Wisconsin governor primary poll was off by 20 percentage points. Why should we believe them? My feeling is that Trump’s true approval is around 45%, which isn’t bad, but he has work to do. Declaring victory in Iran and the subsequent drop in gas prices should help a lot.

It is absurd because the economy is actually doing well but the gas prices are staggering. I have to use premium and I paid $6.50 yesterday. Tapping the brakes in Iran and putting a leash on Israel was a BIG mistake

I don't know how accurate the number is but I don't think it's absurd. It also matches a lot of mid term polling.

In the last few weeks Trump has held court that he's going to tear down the Kennedy Center unless his name is put on it and without evidence claimed the Democrat Party is connected to his assassination attempt(s). Also, the two week Iran war is still underway with no end in sight, tariffs have raised prices while the national debt has exploded and the price of gas is economically threatening the country.

Pollster Mark Blumenthal reported that “what ARG does ... is very different from the way other pollsters ask about party ID. ARG asks about party registration in some states, party identification in others and then combines the two results into a single variable. Whatever the merits of this approach, the results will not be comparable to those of other polling organizations.”

In 2004, Gallup interviewed ARG about a poor prediction (22 points adrift) in the Maryland Democratic primary and found their “likely voter” model was “based on just the one question, [which] is a relatively simple approach to classifying voters.”

ARG was criticised in 2007 for only using landline respondents, which they justified by arguing that cellular phone users, who are mostly younger people, mostly “don’t vote”.

The empty victory announcements aren't hitting in September like they did in March.

20-25% may not like what he is doing, but they dang sure don’t have any alternative.

I am not minimizing the disaster that is the gas price. It is a constant stabbing drag. The fact that Biden and the rats intentionally raised the prices to force us into EV’s is forgotten by the clueless middle who decide elections.

Sounds about right. Even my conservative family members of tired of his Iran ego war. Could have just pounded the nuke sites and left, then pounded them again. It is up to the people of a nation to change their leadership, not us.

Just like covid, he feel for the chinese finger trap. And like covid, his presidency is just about screwed as a result. This election could be the final turning point for our nation unless everyone gets out and drags their family out to vote republican. And with all the liars, pedophiles and theives the GOP has in DC right now, that will only buy us a few years at most.
