After four years of political chaos, which included botching the pandemic and collapsing the economy, Donald Trump was one of the country’s most unpopular incumbent presidents when he lost his bid for reelection to Joe Biden in 2020.
Turns out, the nation might be shaking its case of Trumpnesia, which had baffled Democrats: The Republican presidential nominee is liked even less today.
A Washington Post/ABC/Ipsos poll, released Sunday morning revealed that Trump has a startling net favorability rating of minus-22 (35/57), while Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris has a net favorability rating of plus-1 (45/44).
Trump left office in January 2021 with a 38% favorability rating, according to FiveThirtyEight.com.

It’s so garbage. Also the only reason why Republicans have a prayers chance to win at all.

Hes STILL running against Biden in his head and if he can just complain about the “mean nasty black lady” enough the management will come and remove her from the premises.
Let’s beat this dude again, America!

He’ll love prison when the inmates are screaming & rapping all night slamming shit against the walls. No McDonalds. No Diet Coke. No travel- hell, no leaving the facility even.
All his commissary should/will automatically go to restitution towards all the debts he owes. He’s gonna find out what it’s like to be the poorest inmate in prison.

Oh shit. Trump’s favorability is bad, but Harris is climbing out of the negatives.
In modern Presidential politics that’s actually huge, even by 1% and from just one pollster. Especially on the eve of the DNC which(I’m hoping and praying) should help boost her more.
Not nearly enough to relax, of course, but honestly everything that’s happened so far still exceeds my wildest expectations.

We are not even talk about the convention bump she is going to get. By how many points is going to be up to how the DNC convention goes. Then it’s using the surrogates like the Clintons, Bidens, Obamas, and the rest of the Senators in swing states and Democratic swing state governors to go out and pound the pavement. Turning that energy into action. That’s what needs to happen.

I hope Trump remains influential in future election cycles. His great primary picks have given the Democratic Party 3 Senate seats, a few House seats, and 2 governor’s mansions.
I hope that all GOP candidates continue to run on claims that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump
is the nominee in 2028 and 2032, or founds a third party to split the racist religious fanatic vote.

Believing in “fake” polls or not, Trump *has* to have an inkling that the vast majority of people on the planet hate him even more then ever, right? I bet his campaign’s response is to be more extremely divisive than ever and really consolidate that base from a lump of coal into a blood diamond, or something.

70 million-ish people are going to vote for him still. The country is certainly not moving passed or over him.

Many Trump supporters are still going with the talking point that, “the election was stolen because Joe Biden could have never received 81 million votes.”
According to them this is veritable evidence of election fraud.
Most sensible and informed voters understand how irrational this is, while on the other hand, election denying conservatives still don’t get it, and despite it being reiterated to them over and over again.
In the last election, many voters believed that a vote for Joe Biden was also a vote *against* Donald Trump, and the disapproval ratings/Trump’s lack of popularity at the time only go to support this conclusion
The thing is however, Donald Trump, along with his followers, refuse to believe that Trump was ever unpopular. There are many reasons for this, including Trump’s narcissism rubbing off on his supporters, but also the fact that many of his supporters are a combination of misinformed and influenced heavily by the echochambers and safe spaces they congregate in, whether intentionally or not.
> In addition, ABC’s poll shows that independent voters have moved from plus-4 for Trump to plus-11 for Harris — a tidal wave that has helped Harris to a 6-point national lead over Trump with likely voters.
> As Democrats gather in Chicago for their national convention this week, Harris leads Trump, 49-45% among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup.
> In early July, Trump stood at 43 percent, Biden at 42 percent and Kennedy at 9 percent.
> A surge of enthusiasm has engulfed Democrats: 62 percent of Harris voters say they support her “strongly,” compared with 34 percent of those who supported Biden last month.
Now, polls are polls yes, but these consistently favorable numbers continue to point to the momentum of the Harris-Walz campaign, and particularly in contrast to Biden’s numbers.
Keep in mind also that Harris hasn’t even been confirmed as the official nominee yet. Presumptive, yes, but the DNC has yet to take place.
Right wing media will undoubtedly have a field day reporting on the upcoming event, but as long as Democrats don’t proclaim themselves “communists” on national TV, which Republicans likely fantasize about, Harris’ campaign will probably receive another boost to their ratings as long as they stick to the important messaging and simply lay out the facts.
Trump and the MAGA crowd look pretty desperate right now, especially because they’re resorting to this age old, red scare bullshit. Their attacks have been contrived, their insults petty, their grievances unfounded and pedestrian, while they continue to fixate on their culture wars.
Republicans like to say that this is a battle between good vs evil, but even turned around, it’s not as black and white as that. It’s more like a fight between the dysfunctional, irrational, fanatical and frantic, versus the judicious, practical and broad-minded.

That seems unreal as a 15 point swing would be nuts, but it definitely illustrates the momentum and the fact that a lot of independents really didn’t want a redo of 2020.

If they haven’t been told already, you know the word has gone out from maga HQ to all magaheads to start lying to the pollsters. Just like previous elections. Maga heads understand in a straight up fight they lose and they lose big.
But, as a group core Maga is equally delusional and will do whatever they are told by donald.

After several failed attempts to have Trump focus on the issues, we’ve now see a pivot to “Kamala is a communist”.
Maybe this latest fear tactic will turn the tide for Trump.
Or maybe it will just be another swing and a miss for him and he’ll try something even more desperate.

Let’s hope that Roadkill F. Kennedy drops out at some point and endorses Harris/Walz. This would be the honorable thing to do and help to prevent Mango Unchained and JD (Jeffrey Dahmer) Vance from being elected.

Well, one of those conservative radio shows said that Kamala’s problem is she doesn’t want to talk about policy. So, if you want policy, apparently the place to go is Trump. Personally, I need him to clarify one position in particular he has brought up a few times. If Kamala is beautiful, possibly as beautiful as his wife, he recently said she was not as good looking as he is. I think he needs to clarify where Kamala’s appearance falls in this hierarchy he is constructing… Policy

Who saw or heard Trump’s press conference the other day at his golf course? Oh man, that’s what I call severe cognitive decline! The guy has a vocabulary of about a hundred words, can’t complete a thought/sentence without straying on to some tangent, and he also has ZERO policy knowledge. I wouldn’t vote for him even if he wasn’t an insurrectionist and 34 count felon.

VP Harris is charging ahead, I love that she revealed her economic plan to take some of the wind out of his sails. He did little to nothing on the economy that helped average people during his term
I do hope that we will see some adjustments to single people and their taxes because they’re getting raked over the coals here constantly.

In 2016 he was much more relaxed and didn’t even expect to win then he did. Now he’s desperate to get that power back and he looks mentally sick. Be prepared for some odd conspiracies around the election and ofc court battle after court battle contesting anything and everything. We Americans are done playing this felon’s game! Vote!!!
