Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the likely Republican nominee after winning the lion’s share of primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival.
An ABC News/Ipsos survey of 536 U.S. adults, conducted between March 8-9, found that 29 percent have a favorable view of the former president compared to 59 percent who view him unfavorably.
It came after Trump secured all but one of the primaries on Super Tuesday—giving him 1,075 out of 1,215 delegates he needs to become the presumptive Republican nominee—which prompted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley to drop out of the race to leave him unopposed. Primaries being held on Tuesday could push Trump over the line.
Trump’s popularity has remained largely unchanged since last summer. In similar polls conducted last year, which have a margin of error of 4.5 percent either way, he has hovered around a 30 percent favorability rating.
Sounds great till:
We’re running two incredibly unpopular candidates…
Only 62% of voters approve of either candidate
Our system is broken
Still gonna vote for the one that hasn’t explicitly said they want to be a dictator….
I hope everyone does.
But Bidens favorable numbers are stuck, and unfavourably keeps increasing.
We’re going to see a low turnout election. And thats only good for republicans.
The more people vote, the better Dems do. Which is why we shouldn’t be running a candidate less than a third of voters approve of.
If we’re stuck with Biden, his and his campaign need to at least start portraying him in better light, even if the change isn’t real.
If Biden stops funding Israel’s genocide, he’d win the election in a blowout, I just can’t see him doing it. He’ll risk trump winning instead.
So he’s got to do a shit ton of little things instead of that one big easy thing.
Echo chamber in action. Democrats are 50/50 on supporting Israel’s genocide. Independents favor Israel even more.
20% uncommitted echo chamber? Who’s the one in the chamber?
80%+ of Dem voters want to stop israel’s Genocide. Only Dems paid by AIPAC want to keep it going.
Biden will lose 100% if he keeps the Genocide going. He can’t even campaign on colleges because of all the protests he’s getting. His own left voters are working against him until he stops.
It’s up to 60% of Dems as of late January. Source. If you have a more recent poll that shows 80% feel free to link it.
No 50%+ of Democrats believe israel is committing Genocide
As for the ceasefire a quick google gives us 77% 15 days ago.
Even the majority of Republicans support a ceasefire. This is not a controversial opinion by now.
“Ceasefire” and “genocide” are two very different words coming from different camps.
“80% of Democrats want a ceasefire” is not what you said.
If Biden negotiates a ceasefire, obviously that will be a huge win. No one is doubting that.
If Biden takes a hard line against Israel, and starts using the word “genocide”, he will lose voters.
You should not confuse those two positions.
A ceasefire is stopping israel’s Genocide.
Israel is committing Genocide that is a fact.
A ceasefire would stop it that is a fact.
Biden is losing voters because he is not using the word Genocide and supporting israel. You are turning the world around.
I’ve been saying this more and more, but ever since 2016, the system has gone away from “vote for who you support” and more towards “vote against what you don’t support” for the presidential elections. We have somehow managed to have a good chunk of the US view these actually really important political processes as nothing more than blind fanaticism for “their team” - and that goes for both Team D and Team R.
Except one of the teams is seeking to completely destroy democracy, and the other is not.
I don’t think there’s ever been an US election between people so unpopular.
