  1. I’d be shocked if that number is accurate, but shocked in the best possible way

  2. Another way to read this is 17% of the country is insane. So if you’re in a room with four other people, chances are one of them is a traitor

    Edit: okay as many people have pointed out, it’s closer to 1 in 6 but I don’t think that should make us feel a lot better. It’s pretty much a game of Russian roulette at this point

  3. This is why it’s so important to **not give the fascist traitor power again** after he has been thrown out of power. Voting for him in 2024 was the worst decision that was easily fixable you’ll make in your life, if that’s what you did. He will make your life considerably worse, and won’t care that you don’t like it.

  4. He doesn’t care. He already got your vote so now you’re no longer of use to him and you’re disposable. He never needs your vote again now that he can “do whatever he wants”. He’ll just declare himself president for life or some other blatant violation of the Constitution. Congratulations on being used like a sock.

  5. The issue hasn’t been the percentage of the country that supports what happened on Jan 6, it’s that so many people looked at it and thought it wasn’t a big enough deal to effect their vote. That’s what’s so unnerving.

  6. Weird. Why didn’t 83% of this dipshit country vote for Harris if they’re so against one of the things he fucking promised he’d do immediately. I’m already tired of hearing about how many idiots regret their vote. Too fucking late now assholes. You fucked yourselves and the rest of us.

  7. Polls are not relevant anymore – he is a dictator and even of the future would bring another election, america has proven to not vote in its own intrest twice now.

  8. I feel bad for the children going to school under this Administration….they’ll be pledging their allegiance to Trump and grow up to thinking that freedom of speech only applies to those that have Trump’s mugshot photo in their living room.

  9. He literally and explicitly said he would do it.

    It’s the completely failure of the media to report on Trump accurately. Everything he says and does is either outright ignored by them, downplayed, or portrayed as just a simple differing of opinion.

  11. So two take aways from this-

    1. 17% of the country is insane.
    2. Why does this disapproval matter?

    I mean, really? This was something to think about before the election or during it. To Trump’s credit, he was pretty much saying he’d pardon them during his rallies between dancing to YMCA, and Ave Maria and giving that microphone a blowie.

    He’s in office now, and there’s 0 ways to recall or hold him accountable. He’s gutting agencies, he’s ignoting judicial orders, and he appointed 33% of the supreme court, do you think the body which qualified his action as legitimate and kept him on the ballot in Colorado cares what you think? They have the jobs for life. They care about nothing, not precedent, not the rule of law, least of all about the opinion of people. Oh, and the country gave his party a majority on the Legislative too.

    For the next 87 weeks at least, we’re stuck with him and his ways unless there’s a revolution or coup.

  12. Then why the fuck did half the country vote for him

  13. Where were all these “disapproving” Americans during the election.

    Literally NOTHING that Trump has done so far was a surprise. It was all telegraphed well in advance.

  14. He’ll wipe his diapers with that poll. As if he cares what anyone thinks or approves of

  16. It’s surprising that a small percentage of MAGA Republicans were able to derail the party.

  17. If you didn’t want an idiotic criminal in charge of everything, you shouldn’t have voted for him.

  19. These numbers dont mean dick, they knew this was coming for the last 4 years since it happened and they voted for it anyway

  20. Of those 83 percent how many voted for him and essentially pardoned the president through electing him.

    Hypocrites

  21. Unless consequences somehow manifest themselves, this means nothing.

  22. Trump doesn’t not care what polls think. “Voters” are never going to vote again as far as he is concerned

  23. I love that his response to these polls is to scream about how he really won the election which is totally a normal and non-suspicious thing to repeatedly say for someone who knows he didn’t only win by cheating, right?

  24. He doesn’t care about his approval ratings. He is back in the White House and working on plans to keep himself on regardless of what the American people want.

  25. He doesn’t care. He is a dictator who tricked most of you. Too late now to backtrack just because you thought you would not be affected by the chaos he was going to bring. You thought wrong peasant

  27. This feels more representative of the actual demographic trump is after. that 17% or less

  28. They don’t care anymore about what anyone thinks, even their own supporters

  30. It is literally an impeachable abuse of power but the legislative branch is in full-bore compliance mode of abdicating their sworn oath to preserve, defend and protect our Constitution.

  32. He told you he would, and they voted for him anyway. Republican’s understanding is breathtakingly low.

  33. What do polls matter anymore? The entire republican party has stopped any pretense of “representation”. There are no consequences from ignoring the populous.
    At least right now.

  34. > **No person shall** be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or **hold any office**, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, **having previously taken an oath**, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or **as an executive** or judicial **officer** of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, **shall have engaged in insurrection** or rebellion against the same, or **given aid or comfort** to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    many of these people are convicted of insurrection.

    pardoning them is giving aid or comfort.

  35. I’m surprised it’s not only 70% like most polls. It’s the same 30% every time. Either this is a fluke, a bad poll, or 17% of the 30% are starting to read what’s going on around them?

  36. Glad to see this overwhelming disapproval. After all, Trump did pardon over a thousand hardcore domestic terrorists that were willing to overthrow our government for that criminal con man.

    The really scary thing is the pardons are almost certainly part of a strategy by Trump to use far right paramilitaries to exact political violence against Trump’s opponents, and when they do they’ll just be pardoned again. It’s like having Timothy McVeigh or the guy that founded the Order as President.

  37. 83% of disapproval? Public opinion is loud and clear..

  38. The only surprise here is that the number isn’t higher. Felon gonna be felonious.

  39. Trump supporters are like a metronome going from “They were innocent” to “They were feds/antifa” and it would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic

  40. This is so fucking insulting to our justice system. Why do domestic terrorists get a pardon?

  41. That’s a strong disapproval rating! Pleased to see that. Trump is so pro- criminal and pro anyone accused of criminal acts (E.g. Pete Hegseth, et al). Glad a lot of others do not approve of his criminal leanings.

  42. You can’t even get 83% to agree on if water is wet

  43. Wait until the truth emerges that the election was stolen by Musk.

  44. Honestly, I’m getting so sick of reading this stuff when there is NOT A SINGLE BIT OF ACTION to actually stop him! And when some of his base are living in their eco chambers where they still aren’t getting it. This is terrifying.

  45. You knew he was going to do it though.
    You knew he was a felon.
    You knew he was a rapist.
    But you thought he would get you cheaper stuff.
    Now you have that and he’s a Russian asset destroying global peace…

  46. According to polls his over all approval rating is the lowest of any president in 70 years.
