  1. The bottom left where 2% of people who voted for Harris now approve of Trump is the most interesting one to me. Wonder what’s going on in their heads.

  2. Kicks the “Gen Z Is Lost” trope to the curb, and simultaneously highlights the Gen X Trump-Bump.

    Really nicely illustrated.

  3. Alternative title “Trump maintains democrat and liberal approval levels”. 

  4. Source: [CNN exit poll](https://edition.cnn.com/election/2024/exit-polls/national-results/general/president/0) (election result) and [Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1behUPOujHZSkw37RTdnt_2pCJESMDrglY_uYUeoWdvg/htmlview) current approval

    Note: Trump’s job approval is not steady and is constantly changing. For example roughly 3 weeks ago his approval was at 44% according to gallup but the latest Washington Post survey has him at 39%. Chances are high that by the this is posted, his approval rating has changed again.

  5. All I can say, and it’s just anecdotal, is that the loudest mouths for Trump I saw on social media are suddenly silent.

    Not the professionals, of course. They’ll ride this plane all the way into the side of the mountain. The regular folks. The ones who get up and go to work every morning.

    They’re watching prices climb and that’s precisely why they voted for Trump.

    He promised a return to 2016 prices. We tried to explain that if Jesus himself became president, prices were never going back to pre-pandemic levels, but he snowed them.

    They’re mighty quiet these days.

  6. I want to meet with the 4% of Democrats who approve. I have so, so many questions.

  7. I feel like red and blue are questionable color choices due to their strong association with the parties.

  8. Who would have guessed that Trump and his administration would have policies unfavorable to Hispanics?

    /s

  9. Hasn’t moved the needle much on democrats or liberals overall.

  10. This to me seems to imply that college grads (particularly white college graduates) who voted for trump are just assholes

  11. On the bright side he didn’t lose any support with Democrats and only lost 1% with liberals. That’s a clear win.

  12. “The largest increase in Trump’s approval ratings came from Harris voters”

  13. May he continue to haemorrhage support on all fronts for the rest of his natural life

  14. The college educated white population’s lack of movement is interesting. Why is that group, who you might expect to be more informed showing the least amount of reaction to events.

  15. He’ll always have a built in 38% that always approves of him no matter what. That’s what happens when a network fellates him 24/7.

  16. White college graduates are apparently the most stubborn people on the planet if their opinions about Trump haven’t changed at all since the election.

  17. So he only has lost 11% approval of those that voted for him. Unsurprising, but disgraceful. Horrible excuses for humanity.

  18. We already did this! These people have the memory of a goldfish

  19. What was it prior to the election “polls”, they always are dead wrong.

  20. It would be interesting to see current poll number vs final election night poll numbers. I feel like the current poll numbers aren’t far off from what we saw in the election and those turned out to be wrong.

  21. Call me crazy but this doesn’t show a drop in popularity as the voting population isn’t the same as the total us population the poll is trying to represent (other than the “voted for” category)

    Edit: I do believe his popularity has gone down, just that this chart isn’t comparing the same two populations

  22. I hear people are terrible at recalling who they voted for. So a lot of the Trump voters probably don’t remember they voted for him.

  23. How do you know who voted for who? Is it public data in usa?

  24. Im curious what this looks like in comparison to his 2016 time as well as Bidens first 100 and both of Obamas first 100. Because I’d imagine that the “approval” would be similar.

  25. Oh, they haven’t seen anything yet. I find it interesting that trump is already trying to blame Biden for next quarter as well.

  26. 77% of conservatives seems like the lowest its every been, no?

  27. Interesting to see that the more educated and the less privileged you are the less you support Trump lol

  28. I would really like to know who the 7% of “liberals” and 4% of Democrats who support Trump are.

    It’s like a Vegan saying they really like badly over cooked steak with ketchup.

  29. From this graph you can see the major demographic values attributed to Trump approval: (1) is the voter over 40 years of age? (2) Is the voter college educated? (3) Race is tricky because it can be an outcome of socioeconomics and other ethnic or background issues, not just race alone, but if we take race then the focus should be on is – is the voter White? If so what is their age and college education?

    A greater metric here would be (4) household median income and (5) rural vs non rural votes.

    I think 4 and 5 if included in this graph would paint a better picture of the Trump voter.

  30. Wonder what this’ll look like when them empty shelves start hitting in a couple weeks 

  31. IMO, the last row is the most important.

    I’d love to see a moving average of this gap based on event dates.

  32. I know 2% is basically noice but who the fuck voted for Harris but thinks this shit show has been good

  33. Important to keep in mind the “lesser of two evil” voters who may have voted for Trump, but would have “disapproved” of him before the election (just less so than Harris). This is especially true among white Evengelical voters.

  34. Seen from outside, that 46 starting point for Hispanic population is absolutely mental.

  35. That last line says it all. People who voted for Trump still support Trump.

    Until that voter group changes their minds, no amount of poll results is going to change anything.

  36. This is an abstract. It’ll shoot back up as soon as you tell them the alternative is to vote for a Democrat. The election wasn’t “who do you approve of” it was “of these two, which would you rather have as president”.
