Do Ameicans believe he will play fair in the upcoming elections? Or not try to abuse his powers to prevent them, void them (voter fraud)?

I don’t understand caring about approval ratings outside of election years. The Republicans won’t remove him no matter what he does.
Blue wave 2026 or bye bye america by the end of his term.

I’m sure he’ll convince himself that these are the best approval ratings ever.

Why on earth is the map not color coded? [The Economist’s approval rating page](https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker) has a net approval by state map that’s much easier to read without having to click on each individual state to have any clue what the approval rating is if anyone’s actually interested.
Politics aside, why are Americans voting for candidates nearly 80 year olds; Biden’s age was contentious among both sides, then we did it again with an even older guy. We have some of the smartest, creative, talented, and ambitious people in this country, yet we chose the oldest and dumbest people for president 3 times in the last 10 years.

WTF Wyoming? +34%?

Imagine that, the people he keeps fucking over the most are the ones who support him. 🤦♂️

Wyoming moved up 34%. What kind of white madness is going on over there?

Honestly, the map just confirms what everyone already feels: the country’s split between folks tired of the circus and folks who still think the show’s worth watching.

It may affect the midterms but the lower Trump’s approval rating goes, the more he will lean into authoritarianism. If he’s not idolized or worshiped anymore, he will burn everything to the ground.

The article doesn’t seem to point out an obvious fact, Trump only has positive approval rates in 11 states, and those states are among the least populated ones.

Net gain states be like, “What cliff?”

Long story short: he’s under water by double digits in every swing state.
The fringe swings of 2024 (New Jersey, Virginia, etc.) are all under water too.
The safe big GOP holds that aren’t overwhelmingly republican (Ohio, Florida, and Texas) are all -6.
The GOP is strong where the people aren’t (Montana, Wyoming, etc.).
The Democrats strong holds have never been stronger. (California, New York, Illinois, etc.)

WTF Wyoming and West Virginia?

Wow every swing state doesn’t approve. If only he plainly and openly stated in his campaign that it would be exactly like this so they could’ve known not to vote for him…

Thanks for the useless map, Newsweek
Per the actual source, having Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and fucking TEXAS being negative is insanely bad for the GOP

Short version: He’s underwater in **every** swing state as well as Florida, Texas, and Ohio.

Was I the only one that didn’t get a key for the colors on the Newsweek map? Here it is from the [source](https://civiqs.com/results/approve_president_trump_2025?uncertainty=true&zoomIn=true&annotations=true&map=true) that they link that actually makes sense

Florida and Texas both at -6…
If only people would show up to vote as well.
