So now we need a Ballroom?

[Dutch Uncle]

Donald Trump's net approval rating has dropped to -19%, the lowest of his second term, with only 39% of Americans approving of his job performance.

Here's a breakdown of the latest polling data and trends:

Current Approval Ratings​

• Economist/YouGov (Oct 24–27, 2025):
  • Approval: 39%
  • Disapproval: 58%
  • Net approval: -19% — the lowest of his second term
• Reuters/Ipsos (Oct 15–20, 2025):
  • Approval: 42% (within margin of error from previous weeks)
  • Disapproval: 57%
• Gallup (Oct 1–16, 2025):
  • Approval: 41%
  • Disapproval: 54%
  • This poll was conducted during the government shutdown and after Trump brokered a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict

Key Factors Behind the Decline​

• Government Shutdown: Now in its fourth week, it's the second-longest in U.S. history. A majority of Americans blame Republican leadership for the impasse
• White House East Wing Demolition: Trump's plan to replace it with a $300 million ballroom is deeply unpopular. Polls show 61% disapprove of the project
• Economic Concerns: Voter dissatisfaction with inflation, grocery prices, and cost-of-living issues has intensified. 63% disapprove of Trump’s handling of these issues
• Demographic Gaps:
  • Only 20% of Americans under 30 approve of Trump
  • 11% of Black Americans and 29% of Hispanic Americans support him
  • Approval among women is significantly lower than among men

Political Implications​

• Trump's approval is relatively stable among Republicans (around 86–91%), but he's losing ground with independents and younger voters
• His declining popularity is influencing down-ballot races, notably in New Jersey, where his decision to kill a major infrastructure project is hurting GOP chances

• "White House East Wing Demolition: Trump's plan to replace it with a $300 million ballroom is deeply unpopular. Polls show 61% disapprove of the project"

The White House demolition isn't sitting well with most Americans. Probably due to the way it was done, not necessarily that it was in the plans. If Trump had gone through the proper steps, like a President instead of a dictator, I suspect it would have gone better for him.

He's starting to face disgruntlement in the ranks of the deployed NG, not extended another 4 months. How far will be too far for even the spineless MAGAts in Congress? Will American blood have to run in the streets first?

That's what you call evidence. Tell me who are these people in the picture do you have their names and the arrest report? Do you have any clue at all about what exactly happened and why? Let me answer that for you. No, you have no clue you're just a drone, a moron that post a picture as if it's an argument.

So, you're an idiot.

Is this supposed to make me go 'Oh my God we must stop deporting people here illegally immediately'. Why? Because a radicalized drone dumbass posted a picture of a woman getting arrested with a child in wire ties (likely complete bullshit).

I don't really care what you do. You're a worthless lying troll.

Case closed! That does it, no more deportations Lurchy just made his best intellectual argument and boy did he do a good job.' lol

You wouldn't know an "intellectual argument" if it bit you in your vag, loser.

You're a first class idiot, how about trying to make an argument with some words of your own maybe.

I think it's like Algebra. When an idiot like you calls someone else an idiot, it's a positive.

It's okay if you write more than two sentences, I can handle the reading and comprehension that you struggle with so much.

No. You really can't.

There's a lot of angry, demented and elderly Euro-American idiots in the Party of Trump.

They know they are dying soon and, because they hate their lives so much, they're rather burn the entire place down before they die.
Just like Trump. Weird!

He typifies the average JPP MAGAt: elderly, lonely, demented and paranoid Euro-American male who fears death and reacts with anger against anyone who disagrees with him.
