Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Looked at the article. Even on his worst subject, he still has a solid 30% approval rating. His cult will never desert him.
And does anyone think he gives a shit? He's in. He's immune. He will not leave other than in a body-bag.
Just in, Hitler polls showing tbat despite saying nothing, some people show animosity about trade unionist arrests.
I need a fucking bingo card for shit articles like this.
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Stay positive! Maybe a good headline when we wake up!
Yeah, but KKKaroline Leavitt just said that Donvict "defeated Biden's inflation crisis" (holy shit you have to be stupid to believe such utter nonsense), so I'm sure his polls should skyrocket, right?
The 40% that approve of his overall job performance....what to even do with these types? The is always going to be a certain kind of dipshit, even "moderates" that have been trained to believe that "'publicans gud aht conomee", so the fact that 37% approve of his economy is unsurprising. And of course the hardcore racists are jerking off over ICE violence.
The 40% approval rating is damning for the American socio-political system.
At some point one has to realize that over time political systems cannot survive without major reforms.
Does reading a "trump low in the polls" article or two everyday make you feel better or optimistic?
