(Reuters) Trump approval rating dips; many wary of his wielding of power, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds (1 Viewer)

One implication of these poll results - not a good one - is that 25% of people who identify as Republican believe that Trump should not obey court orders he does not agree with. We should consider this a sobering reality: a quarter of them are essentially saying that the Constitution is no longer a guiding document for them.

That 25% is the solid Trump base who have been convinced by Fox that the courts are interfering with his Presidential authorities. They have fully embraced the notion that the President is above the law. Supreme Court can thank themselves in part for that.

No, you just never allow for criticism of your tribe. The fact is, you libs never gave two shits about Bidens numbers that were actually worse. So there is no point in listening to you now.

But this is the first poll I've seen with Trump underwater on Immigration, and apparently there's another recent poll showing the same thing.

I posted the other poll in post #5

Take a look at the Atlas Intel poll it reinforces this poll.

RCP seems to be using a 6 week moving average in their Immigration Job Approval aggregation, which is significantly longer than the 3 week moving average I recall from Election Polling.

So Trump still enjoys +5 in Immigration on RCP. However the general trend has been downward in recent weeks, and perhaps most importantly in reference to Reuters/Ipsos - today's poll shows -6 pts from their previous poll on 2 APR. That movement is 4 pts outside the poll's Margin of Error (+/-2).

What's with the sudden interest in Presidential approval polls among those on the left? :sneaky:

It's always been an interest.

But I suspect even more-so lately due to Trump's radical actions.

The bolded was not lost on me.

But we've come to see & expect this in recent weeks. In fact, those posting here in DP in support of Trump seem to be near unanimous in their abrogation of the Constitution through things like eschewing Due Process, Judges Orders, and in Disregarding Elections.

Given today's poll, I might conclude that the DP Republicans may be relatively homogenously more radical than the majority. We may have gotten Republicans in large wrong, based upon the inferences we draw from within DP. It's possible some in the greater Republican rank & file may not have realized the depth of what they were voting for. That would be my hope.

Despite the non-quantitative OP article title of this newly released poll, two data points inside the body of the article jumped-out at me - and I presented them as excerpts above.

1] The overwhelming majority of Americans - by far - want Trump to obey our court orders.

2] Trump is upside-down on Immigration for the first time I recall during his term.
--

83% of Americans, including (surprising to me) 73% of Republicans, insist Trump should obey court orders.

And Trump is upside-down on Immigration! He's been going upside down on pretty much everything else, but now he seems to have slipped on his Holy Grail Issue.

I didn't see a party-break-out on I Immigration, but given the strong entrenched polarity between the two established parties - my suspicion is the substantive movement we're seeing may be occurring amongst Indies. Other recent polls seem to be showing substantive Indie movement on other issues (particularly Economy, Inflation, Tariffs).

I also must point-out Trump's Immigration numbers in this poll are technically within the margin-of-error (+/- 2%). So while Trump numerically is underwater, he statistically is in a draw. Regardless, that's a significant change from his previous strength on this matter.

When Trump was just defying Judge Boasberg, suspect he still had many/most of his supporters on board. By labeling Boasberg as some "radical activist judge". (Regardless of the fact the claim wasn't true.)

But now that the Trump administration is flaunting the US Supreme Court, he (trump) is losing a lot of those who were once on his side. It's a good sign.

Coupled with some of Trump's latest blathering about "deporting US citizens to El Salvador prisons", our president finding out his crazy talk has limits. We will hopefully find out soon who in his Cabinet are going to support this latest insanity. (AG Bondi made be the first lunatic on the bus.)

Why are people surprised at this?

Only his hornswoggled hordes are surprised by it, because they have profoundly selective hearing and memory about anything Trump has said or done. Their default filter is always in his favor.

Every indication suggests that they're counting on that, which is why Trump has been trying to move so quickly on his agenda. I don't think there's a lot of fear there about "if" it happens. The mindset is let's get this done before it happens.

Focus on agenda the first two years, judges the second two years.

BUT BIDEN.
Bad poll comes up later this year.................. BUT BIDEN.
Bad poll comes out next year...............BUT BIDEN.
Yes, Biden's poll numbers were shitty, but omg, we are talking about Trump's poll numbers NOW, not Biden's numbers LAST YEAR.

If you can't deal with negative news, try a different tactic other than ............ Well, whatabout.............

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”.

LOL. He was forced out of the race and you libs supported him throughout his presidency and would have voted for him again despite his horrible poll numbers and his mental decline.

How did you turn a Trump poll into Biden?

Ah, never mind. I don't want to feed the off-topic narrative.
 
Anyone who has actually listened to Trump, observed his first term, read P2025 and took note of his start out of the gate in his first seven days of his second; to us none of what’s transpired is a surprise.

HE TOLD YOU WHO HE IS AND HOW HE WOULD GOVERN.

Buyer’s remorse is appropriate, but you should have listened more intently. (And if you aren’t remorseful by now then why not? What part of, “This is a Constitutional Republic and that’s not how Trump is governing is lost on you?”)

Some of us were trying to tell you that Trump was not intent on being POTUS#47. His designs are to be King#1.

So, you are on board with trashing the Constitution because of his agenda? Ignore court orders etc? Maybe consider his agenda isn’t right if it’s going to cost him midterms

it's unusual for someone to think a major US political party does not care about midterm elections

Do you think they will just sit out this time around due to lack of interest?
