does that mean that his voter approval has fallen to… 40 percent? where it has been for the last ten years of my life?
The only thing that’s upsetting them is the loss of money. If that weren’t happening, they’d be tickled pink by everything else Trump is doing.
The man with a golden toilet inside his penthouse inside a building with his name on it – is the champion of blue collar workers.
I hate these kind of articles.
The polls show a very very consistent trend of Trump being probably around ~5-10% underwater since April with very little change either which way. The reporting swings both positive and negative are nearly 100% time the difference between polls that Trump usually does poorly on e.g (most traditional pollsters) and those he does well on (Harvard/Harris and the more conservative pollsters). Thats why you got constant swings between +3 approval and -15 approval.
Remember this in the midterms, folks.
Yeah yeah. They said the same thing in 2020 and then look what happened in less than 5 years. Wisconsin especially looked to be turning a corner but even very liberal Midwesterners still have this weird superiority complex over „coastal elites“ that Republicans know how to easily tap into. This belief that they are the real America only feeds into the white nationalist overtones of the Trump administration so it’s no surprise why both Miller and Vance left California to grow their stature in Ohio and Iowa. It’s no secret that Democrats ignoring/dismissing Arabs in Michigan cost Harris that state.
Fucking Newsweek acting like the 40% approval rating is news once again
Favorability, or lack thereof, means nothing!! These idiots would still vote the Orange Turd because owning libs is more important than income or cost of living. They’ll sacrifice their farms to own the libs.
Oh look, the obligatory once a day, “ they are turning on trump” article that never comes to fruition.
„The Midwest has turned on Trump.“ Promises, promises.
Now they will be REALLY ANGRY each time they vote for him in the future.
They didn’t vote for Joe Biden because he was costing them money and now they get to see how a master empties their wallets.
I’ll believe this after the next election. I’d be willing to bet they still vote for Republicans.
I’ll only believe this when the midterms come…
Trump sees himself as America and the voters are merely his livestock. When he says America he means himself and his regime, not us, regardless of which side you vote.

But always— do not forget this, ~~Winston~~ [Christian Conservative voter]— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.

Bit late. At this point I don’t believe he needs anyone’s approval anymore. He’s not worried about another election.
No it hasn’t.
Until Trump is polling less than 10% his base hasn’t abandoned him.
Doesn’t matter, they will still vote Republican in the next election! Just you wait and see
“Trump has long positioned himself as a champion of blue-collar workers and has frequently touted his record of reviving the region’s industrial economy.”
What the fuck is Martha smoking?
What is his record of reviving … any fucking thing? Besides his own bank account.
The media continues to spout wholesale bullshit for Trump/GOP, while constantly saying it is Democrats that are out of touch with working people and “kitchen table issues.”
Complete bullshit. And it has been for decades. If left to their own devices, GOP would have made this country an oligarchy long ago. Trump has only expedited that goal.
Fuck him and fuck his supporters
In the Midwest currently. No they have not, sadly.
Every couple hours Newsweek comes out with some new post claiming „devastating“ poll numbers where things have shifted MAYBE two percent, or some other story suggesting the end is near for this shit stain.
I’m beginning to think that the only purpose of this account is to post placating bullshit intended to convince the people most primed to become radicalized that their rescue by the country’s compromised institutions is imminent, and there is no need to take immediate action.
No they haven’t
If the we had a redo of the 2024 election knowing everything we know now they’d vote for his ass again.
After they turned their backs on America, the Constitution and their fellow countrymen.
Turning on him now is like a ninth inning home run by a team that’s losing by double digits.
How people ever deluded themselves into thinking the man born into wealth, who lives in a golden tower, was on their side is beyond me. Everything the man had ever done is for the benefit of himself or his fellow 1%.
No. No they haven’t.
No they’re not.
Yay, these clickbait titles again
I wish. I Live in the midwest. Still lots of faces for the leopards here.
And yet, they’ll vote for him even if he runs for an unconstitutional third term.
No one is turning on Trump, they are just as supportive, just a little quieter at the moment, waiting to hear why they should agree with the qatari thing and the argentina thing.
I live here. All of their Trump monuments are still standing.
I live in rural Nebraska and speak to the farm community on a near daily basis. They haven’t turned on Trump at all. Yes they are concerned about not being able to sell their crops. Yes the state is losing literally hundreds of millions in tax money that is going to cause major cuts in state services. Yes they want the trade war to end and they want the immigrants back to work the farms.
But they are still diehard GOP supporters and would vote for Trump a 3rd time. These articles don’t seem to understand just how ingrained the GOP is in the farm and blue collar communities. The GOP has managed to convince their core voters that the GOP is the godly party and the Dems are the atheist elite. Religion is such a huge part of rural life that they can’t imagine voting for a Democrat any more than they can imagine skipping church on Sunday. It doesn’t matter how badly the GOP treats their voters. It doesn’t matter what terrible things the GOP votes for, how many affairs Trump has had, now many children get zip tied in Chicago. As long as the GOP tells them it’s necessary, they will support it, much like if a pastor told them it was the will of God.
Obviously this doesn’t apply to all farmers, but it’s the majority. That’s all the GOP needs, a motivated majority.
Until the Democrats manage to drive a wedge between religion and the GOP, they will continue to have an uphill battle in more than half the US states.
Hi midwestern reporting in to call BS.
Wish it was true, but it ain’t.
Ill believe it when i see it materialize in the midterms
All these fuckin people are going to keep right on voting for republicans every election
„Republicans ruined my life, kicked me off my Healthcare, ruined the economy for anyone with less than a 9 figure net worth but goddammit i love how theyre keeping those trans mexicans off my daughters softball team and the women’s room so R straight ticket!“
Watch…nothing will change at all with their actions
As an Iowan, no they haven’t. My fat-fuck, mouth-breathing coworkers are still full throttle for team trump.
We’re blue collar/ union (maintenance) at a production facility and 90% of them have a rager for what Trump is doing.
One in particular came in last week “Did you see Sophie Cunningham’s post about (something to do with removing trans rights)?” He was all excited about it. I have half a brain and thought “surely a public figure wouldn’t post something like that, she’d receive a lot of backlash.” So, I took 30 seconds to check and sure enough, she didn’t. He must’ve seen it from a fake acct. his fat ass is also married to a Filipino who immigrated here. You’d think that, with what is going on, would make him re-think his choices. Nope. But he also can’t see that I’m sure she’s just with him to send his money back home to her family.
Another coworker came in to lunch a few weeks ago and was bitching about how “I saw that Ukraine is selling the weapons we give them to cartels in Mexico!”
Again. Seems like a fishy story. So… again, I google it and see that it’s fake.
These people are so incredibly dumb it hurts. As I stated before, we’re all unionized too and they *still* can’t see they’re voting against themselves.
