Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans

Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.

Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.

The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.

Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.

It seems there may be cause for hope that Trump is fucking up so bad he is losing the moderate Republican vote.

Too much belief not enough action

For the dumb dumbs that voted for him but now think he's moving in the wrong direction, just what they fuck did they think he was going to do?

He ran on carrying out vendettas against his personal enemies and doing incredibly stupid shit like culture wars, tariffs, and mass deportation.

While these numbers look good, I wouldn't hold my hopes high. Moderate republicans might be changing opinion but if they don't swing enough to vote a dem, it won't change anything.

And this is only if the elections happen and are fair, two things that right now are not granted.

Understatement of the century.

Usual thing with these people: "I didn't think he would hurt me"

Well you said it. They are dumb dumbs. And dumb dumbs believe the first thing they are told, any information that they are given after that is "fake news".

its amazing what a president has to do to be on the outs with the republicans. demolishes white house and wipes ass with constitution. ah. well. maybe he is not leading us in the right direction. maybe.

They'll still vote for Republicans though, because it's a part of their identity, and it's in their nature to be hateful and ignorant

Kill people they don't like, of course. I'm sure there are a few people who want a legal reason to hunt down and murder the woman who unmatched and blocked them on Tinder.

they think he was going to do?

This. but not to THEM.

It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

The only thing that gives me hope we can at least semi fix the direction things are going is that at least for Hitler, most of the population fervently approved of Hitler.

That's not the case here.

But that could just slow things down.

All bets are off at this point.

Duuurrrrrrrrrrrr

How do you know most of the population fervently approved of Hitler?

Well, it's kinda impossible to know for sure, as anyone not targeted by the Hitler regime as enemies was still discouraged from publicly, or even privately, disagreeing with the party.

But there was likely some poll or support data available to scholars at different points that would give an idea of actual support at those points.

I don't have those details, and am not who you were asking, but I did hear support dwindled as the US entered the war. And, logically, it was probably higher when he was elected then when the war started getting real nasty.

Most people start not liking their leadership when their leaders actions cause them personal distress.

Well, maybe in the next term he will be better?

They don't need to vote dem, they just need to lose motivation to vote (either not vote at all, or vote for anyone non-GOP). The GOP cannot afford to lose many votes, so long as the elections are fair, as you say. The elections will happen in some shape or form (remember, even Russia has """elections"""). The GOP has seats up for election and upcoming vacancies.

It's just a matter of how fair they'll be.

No, I assure you, I am a loser... But I never supported Trump in anything, and certainly not as a politician.

I would support however his effort to furtilize a random field in Montana with his corpse. But nothing else really.

Would have been nice if they'd fucking voted, huh?

I've heard 60% approved of him taking power. It was from a documentary you tube video.

I guess I'm not 100% sure where they got the number from.

Pretty sure it was an infographic video.

Maybe this one. It's been a few months since I watched it.

Hitler had the Hitler youth who were pretty intense. And plus a lot of citizens got the stuff he stole from their Jewish neighbors. Or at least sold to them at a discount.

The people were mostly fine with these spoils.

BREAKING NEWS

I believe Trump is moving the US in the right direction, whereas a good president would be moving the US in the left direction

Yes, if only there was some way to have seen this coming!
If the fat orange child rapist had 4 years of blatant corruption, easily prosecuted criminality, and glaring ineptitude just a few years prior then all this surely would never have happened...

Gee……ya fuckin think?

This poll is the same as all the others.

"Some Americans think Trump may possibly not be amazing"

They do tell us that apparently most Americans are idiots but that's about it.

I'd like to hear from the minority who belive "6 feet under" is the right direction to be moving.

What? Americans voted for him to move USA backwards, and he is moving USA backwards!
They got what they asked for.

Surely the shocking news here is that 45% of voters don't believe he is moving the USA in the wrong direction?!

For what it's worth, the most votes Hitler's party ever received on a national level was "just" 37%.

These people will never vote dem. The best that can be done is to convince them to never vote again.

Not all losers support Trump for all Trump supporters are losers.

Your inability to figure out this simple logic mapping indicates your self-assessment is otherwise correct.

Biden slow walked us into this by not going after him in the name of "bipartisanship."

My face!

Remember a few years ago there was a push to not call his supporters dumb, that they were much worse than that. Thing is, they can be both a reprehensible person beyond reproach and a dumbass at the same time.

A lot of them think along the lines of following generational trends. Such as their dad voted Republican, and their grandad did too, so they will do so blindly.

And they're voting Republican again anyway!

Here in California, the top two candidates for governor going into the primary, are varying degrees of MAGA. Fucking insane.

I remember talking to a relative of mine (he's a redcap) and we were talking about the economy a few months into 2025.

He said something about how Pedonald was "fixing" the supposedly terrible Biden economy. I asked him what was so bad during the Biden economy....both he and I had steady jobs. He said something phrased in a kind of passive-aggressive way about how maybe the "wrong" people were doing well - implication being ME and other people present that were not redcaps were not doing poorly and that was a problem. I pointed out that I worked a steady job through his first term, too.

And I could tell that reminding him of this annoyed him. I think he expressed some kind of wish that maybe this term Pedonald would do better at harming people like me, at least economically if not something more directly nefarious. We were interrupted by other people (lots of people at this gathering) before I could ask more questions.

These people are truly warped. Sure, in my weaker moments, I express vitriol towards the redcaps and don't always say the nicest things about them. But I really don't want them and their spouses and their children to go without healthcare, shelter, food, a job with dignity, clean air and clean water, etc...I've seen lots of the redcaps really champion death and so on online, and definitely I've seen them talk about it abstractly IRL, too.

But to have a relative stand there and tell you that they want harm done to you and your family is another matter altogether.

It doesn't matter if they change their opinion on Trump they are still dumbasses and will fall for the next conman that says stupid hateful shit.

Sure wish y’all could have seen this like idk, 3-10 years ago!

America is moving in a direction that will make them worse than nazi's in WW2, and it seems a good portion of Americans are completely cool with that 😒

A good portion of Americans, even many who despise Trump and MAGA, don't really believe that we would ever fall that far. They believe that somehow there will be a floor where they may not like the overall direction, but things will mostly be more or less okay.

They don't understand that people like Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, Bannon, Hegseth, Noem, Lewandowski, etc., and even Trump himself, are dreaming of a nation in which they can simply order the executions of anyone they want, for any reason at all. They are working hard every day to achieve that level of power, and we have to take their efforts extremely seriously. They HATE us, and they WILL kill millions of us, if they get the opportunity.

Tax cuts for the 1%, just like was voted for. 👍
You have to remember it's expensive to be rich. Those private jets and yachts don't pay themselves.

Electing a felon rapist pedophile who spends every day trying to divide our nation was a bad idea?

How did he win the election then ?

He didn't. In fact his results in the final free election were considerably worse than the year before. He had to enter a coalition with the Centre Party that enabled him to destroy the Weimar democracy from within.

On 9 January 1933, Papen and Hindenburg agreed to form a new government that would bring in Hitler. On the evening of 22 January in a meeting at the villa of Joachim von Ribbentrop in Berlin, Papen made the concession of abandoning his claim to the chancellorship and committed to support Hitler as chancellor in a proposed "Government of National Concentration", in which Papen would serve as vice-chancellor and Minister-President of Prussia. On 23 January, Papen presented to Hindenburg his idea for Hitler to be made chancellor, while keeping him "boxed" in. On the same day Schleicher, to avoid a vote of no-confidence in the Reichstag when it reconvened on 31 January, asked the president to declare a state of emergency. Hindenburg declined and Schleicher resigned at midday on 28 January. Hindenburg formally gave Papen the task of forming a new government.

In the morning of 29 January, Papen met with Hitler and Hermann Göring at his apartment, where it was agreed that Papen would serve as vice-chancellor and Commissioner for Prussia. It was in the same meeting that Papen first learned that Hitler wanted to dissolve the Reichstag when he became chancellor and, once the Nazis had won a majority of the seats in the ensuing elections, to activate the Enabling Act in order to be able to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. When the people around Papen voiced their concerns about putting Hitler in power, he asked them, "What do you want?" and reassured them, "I have the confidence of Hindenburg! In two months, we'll have pushed Hitler so far into the corner that he'll squeal."

He didn’t win Elon and Thiel rigged the election they found evidence in Georgia

I thought the Pedo-in-Chief demanded we stop polling him? Lol
