Trump's Approval Rating Is Worse Than Biden's Ever Was — Where Are the Poll People Now?

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:01]For 4 years during the Biden administration, folks on the MAGA side of the political aisle would tell me all the time what his poll numbers were.

[00:00:09]And I kept telling them that I don't give a [ __ ] what his poll numbers are.

[00:00:14]He's still the better option between him and Trump or him and another one of these right-wing fascist Republicans. I don't give a [ __ ] if his approval rating is 2% as long as he's in there instead of a fascist like Donald Trump. And and the people who support Donald Trump kept hammering the poll numbers. But the poll numbers, man, they tell you what the what the American people think. And the American people don't like your president. Bup bup bup bup bup bup bup bup.

[00:00:43]Okay?

[00:00:45]Now Donny's president.

[00:00:48]His poll numbers are tanking. His poll numbers are worse right now than Joe Biden's ever were.

[00:00:53]When I bring that up, they all go, "Well, I thought poll matters poll numbers didn't matter."

[00:00:58]To me, they didn't. But to you guys, they were everything.

[00:01:02]So, what say ye about [ __ ] like this?

[00:01:06]President Trump's approval rating has now dropped to the lowest level of his second term at 37%.

[00:01:12]And views of the economy have dropped to their lowest level in several years.

[00:01:16]Only 29% now say the economy is good.

[00:01:19]Gas is $4.51 and change per gallon. Is this pressure all due to gas prices? Uh gas prices aren't helping. It's not the only thing. I always start with feelings because they're so closely connected to people's finances. They tell us they feel stressed. They feel concerned about their personal finances. And feelings of economic security are down from a year ago. Now, gas prices are increasingly, they tell us, weighing being a financial hardship on them. Overall, though, they continue to tell us they don't think their income is keeping pace with inflation. And that's something we've been seeing now for years coming out of the pandemic. So, contextually, yes, it's part of something larger. The other part of this though is uncertainty, which is a top way that people describe the overall economy. And the way that relates to gas prices is take for example just the situation in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. People tell us day-to-day they don't feel like they have a clear understanding they're getting a clear understanding of what's going on there. And of course that is impacting gas prices. That's part of what I mean by uncertainty. But the other part of the big picture here, you pull back, you look at the job market, people aren't confident that if they had to find another job they could. They even think you hear so much about AI in the news.

[00:02:41]>> Structural changes. [clears throat] Big structural changes. They think AI is going to start taking jobs. And what it leads to when you look at opportunity, even generational opportunity, there's a lower number who think that their opportunities are going to be better than their parents were.

[00:02:57]Poll numbers are in the tank. 29% of people approve of where the economy is right now.

[00:03:03]So much uncertainty out there.

[00:03:05]37% approval rating for the president, 63% disapproval rating. You guys are the ones that pushed the approval rating [ __ ] all through uh the four years of Biden.

[00:03:15]Now you don't care? I was up front about not caring back then. You guys were adamant that poll numbers about the the president's approval rating shows where this [clears throat] country stands on the president at the time.

[00:03:28]So where do you think the country stands on Biden?
