Everything is going according to The Plan!™ update

Gallup has surveyed voters on what they think about the president since Harry Truman was in the White House. TL, DR: It’s looking bad for the Dotard Leader. Here’s an excerpt from Ed Kilgore’s article in New York magazine.

“A quick scan shows that *****’s terrible standing among independents right now places him in some dangerous territory.

“To start with, that 25 percent job-approval number among independents is significantly lower than any ***** registered in Gallup’s monthly surveys during his first term. His job-approval rating among independents was at 39 percent the day he lost his 2020 reelection bid. And it was still at 30 percent in January of 2021, immediately after the January 6 Capitol Riot made him look dead politically for a good while. He’s in uncharted territory right now.

“Let’s compare this terrible standing among the unaligned with the famously unpopular presidents of the past. At this same point in his one term as president, Joe Biden’s job-approval rating among independents was 37 percent. It hit an all-time low of 27 percent among independents in November 2023, before improving back to 37 percent by the end of his term. George W. Bush actually did worse late in his second term when the bottom was falling out of the economy; his October 2008 job approval among independents was at 19 percent, but that wasn’t much worse than his 25 percent approval rating among all voters. Bill Clinton briefly plunged below 30 percent among independents during his rocky first few months as president, but he was up to 44 percent prior to a disastrous 1994 midterm election and eventually 67 percent by the end of his presidency. Richard Nixon didn’t reach *****’s low levels of job approval among independents until he was in the depths of the Watergate scandal; he hit 23 percent when impeachment proceedings against him began and 22 percent the day he was forced to resign.”
