It seems Donald Trump would make a better plumber than a president – his poll numbers are so far down the toilet they’re touching porcelain.
In a wave of new polling showing the width and breadth of Trump’s unpopularity, a Quinnipiac University national poll released July 29 found Trump with a 32% approval rating, an all-time low from that particular pollster.
Earlier that same day, CNN reported on a new CNN/SSRS poll, noting: “Trump’s overall approval rating, 34%, matches the career low he last saw at the close of his first term, following the January 6, 2021, insurrection.”
Do you know how bad things have to be for you to hit an “as bad as that time I fomented an insurrection” level of disapproval? Trump didn’t even need to coax his followers into ransacking the U.S. Capitol this time around. He just earned this striking level of disapproval organically. Part of me feels like we should congratulate him. It shows real growth when a tin-pot dictator learns to be loathed all on his own.
