By what measure do you come up with that?
Nationwide, Trump's approval rating is somewhere around 42-46%. And just to be clear, early in a term presidential approval rating is in a honeymoon period where the public is trying to make the best of the next four years and sees it with rose coloured glasses. Obama had a 65% approval rating. Biden had a 57% approval rating. Both at the same stage in their presidency.
On every single issue, the public disagrees with how Trump has acted. From immigration to trade and tariffs to education to health. And he's currently in the "lie about everything and promise the world" stage, but much like his first term that has an expiry date when people realize that he is incredibly stupid and lies with every breath. There will be no trillion dollar windfall from tariffs "paid for by the other country" (though there is the most regressive, largest tax hike in US history), everything is going to get more expensive, and the "Golden age" is going to be a dire descent to a fallen empire. There will be no $5000 DOGE savings cheques or elimination of taxes on tips or overtime, egg prices haven't dropped 95%, gas isn't $1.99, and the Ukraine war keeps going on. He isn't going to eliminate the debt or even the massively exploding deficit with his magical crypto scam shitcoin.
But Trump will self-enrich himself and everyone who pays his extortion racket. His trade war grift seems mostly targeted at getting various Trump co projects going, along with fellating his pal Elon's various companies.
But regardless, I'm not talking about the US as a whole. No one in Canada wants Kentucky or Texas or Florida joining us, and those people can herald their orange idol however much they want. But on the West Coast Trump has a 30% approval rating. In much of New England and New York he's mid-30s. Again, despite this being the honeymoon period.
Yeah, the areas I talked about hugely disagree with this government.
So do something about it. Again, red people and states talk about this all the time.

If the so-called Blue states don't want to be dragged back a hundred years into this growing anti-science, corrupt idiocracy, start taking the same tact. Somehow it's only incomprehensible when the better states broach it.
