Macron won because he wasn’t Marine Le Pen. That ‘distaste’ for voting for her wont be nearly so strong in 2022, and he has a hell of a fight on his hands if he wants to retain office. He doesn’t deserve to win again, but I doubt they will allow Le Pen to win. Nor will they want Melanchon.

Here’s trumps real approval rating. Notice how during the election all the pollsters accept for Rasmussen were wrong. and wat off. Thats because their democrats operatives. Trumps base has grown as well as his approval ratings your democrat lies won’t help you on the 19th and 20th when the military and fema run your cou try. This is all planned. And the dems don’t even know it

Very possible to gain the love of liberal socialists when you are spending like Obama and handing out free stuff as if you are Bernie Sanders demanding your name is on the redistribution of wealth stimulus checks. Trump’s base doesn’t appear very principled to me as they embrace $8 trillion more in debt and make excuses for a presidency that was as economically disastrous as the one before.

Trump’s base doesn’t want to deal in reality of many of the things Trump has advocated and pushed through. They serve a king rather than any thing that looks like small Constitutional government.

Trolling on your first post or still trusting the plan? If you haven’t seen through Q by now, there’s something wrong with you.

Trump is third from bottom only because Japanese and French are far more sensible than Americans

The most important takeaway from these polls is the fact that the popularity of “leaders” went up with the onset of pandemic, in many cases reversing trends. This poll is a great study of sociology, and mass psychology.

It may be only terminology, but it’s very important. The leaders quoted are not Heads of State, they are mostly Heads of Government, with a few who have dual roles (eg Trump). Boris Johnson is not the UK’s Head of State, nor is the German Head of State Angela Merkel. etc

Rutte resigned to save his party at the polls in Netherlands.
Italian Gov collapsing, again.
Macron thought of as next to useless.
Merkel jumping into bed with the Chinese, ignoring human rights abuses – concentration camps & slave labour (guess that’s OK in their book).

Makes Trumps America look positively OK.
Don’t be so hard on yourselves.

Seriously, accept your differences and mistakes and decide to do stuff differently going forward and it will come OK,better than you expect.

The election seems to be turning to almost a blessing in disguise for Trump. If the economy tanks, Trump will be vindicated as arguably one of the best presidents America has ever had.

Why? Economically, it was all extend and pretend from Trump, just like Obama (and soon to be Biden).

Have to see how many die with Biden as President.
Its a useful measure. Weren’t there fewer under Trump than in any 4 years under Bush or Obama?

Reminds me of the Tea Party lambasting Obama for the ’08 recession weeks after his inauguration in ’09.

As a result, McConnell managed to deliver on his promise to make Obama a one term president, oh, wait, I mean, he DID keep him from a third term, yes, He did.

The economy tanked in March of last year. Only the stock market has remained aloft. As I said before, Biden only has to not be Trump and he’ll be wildly popular. Republicans will regret hitching their wagon to a second rate mob boss.

It means that in France, the median hatred for their head of state exceeds the same measure here in the USA.

However, I would bet that if you took the average instead of the median, Trump would “win” hands down. Yeah, Trump still has a following, but the 50+% of the country who hates him does so with quite impressive passion.

Yea Macron is at 32%. The country isn’t happy with his handling of Covid or the economy. But comparing Macron to Trump is not relevant or apple to apples. There’s not a chance the French would wish to replace Macron with Trump.. Compaing the popularity of a French and American President is like comparing GDP numbers from different countries.

It’s not like those voting on Macon are also offering an opionion on Trump. It’s not very meaningful. And the comment about Putin or Kim’s popularity?

From France. I think that the french “gilets jaunes” (yellow jackets) which made a lot of demonstrations, sometimes violent, in 2019, approved by the majority of french people, have something to do with the american “deplorables”. People that were fed up to be disdained by arrogant self-assured elites.

“Congratulations to President Trump for not being dead last.”

Hilarious.

Maybe the Trump foundation can plan a fund raising dinner, with an award ceremony for “Not being dead last”.

On a serious note, the fact the he’s not dead last is symbolic of the levels of disinformation in the U.S.

Whole swaths of the U.S. populace are drowning in their own group-think, confirmation bias and media disinformation, partly from Russian propagandists seeking to divide us, and it’s worked incredibly well, good job Putin!

Trump is leaving office with an approval rating of 29%. Nixon tumbled to 24% when he left. For the United States this is rock bottom at least if you look back at the last 50 years. I’d suggest that those who still approve of Donald Trump are likely to have pro-autocratic viewpoints. How else do you reconcile 29% approva after an insurection that occurrer with the apparent support and encouragement of Donald Trump who tried to circumvent an election to stay in power.
