Time Passes Slowly

 March 21, 2025:

Donald Trump is more popular now than he was in his first term, but that isn't likely to last if he keeps on his current path, according to conservative columnists

April 17, 2025:

“Trump’s net approval on immigration issues is minus 5%; on deportations specifically, it’s minus 10%,” Downie opined. “When politicians and pundits try to conjure a more pro-MAGA vibe shift, they not only overstate the popularity of Trump’s agenda, but they also understate the scale and the fury of his opposition."

He called Trump's second-term approval ratings “eerily similar to his first: a poor start that only gets worse. Trump’s favorability ratings in January were the "second-worst of any presidency." "By mid-March, his net approval was again negative; by early April, his average disapproval was already more than 50%.”

TBH, polls and their interpretation are pretty useless things. In mid-March the consensus was that Trump was more popular than he’d been at that time in his first term (without noting that twice nothing is still nothing). Yet in mid-April, we are told his approval was already sliding in … mid-March.

One thing is sure: Trump is rallying the crowds for AOC/Sanders in Iowa and Montana and Bakersfield, CA as much as the headliners are.

And he’s only been POTUS since January 20, 2025. 😈
