A Gallup poll found the split between Republicans and Democrats about their satisfaction with the direction of the country was at its widest since 2001.

I bet this is largely because, leaving MAGA aside (hey, there's an idea!), most of the GOP is in the investor class (as I am). I think markets are at odds with the perilous financial situation of most workers; if markets falter, T might lose most of the rest of his support. (C'mon, reality!)

We could build a society based on fairness, equity, and the rule of law. But that idea frightens Republicans.

The "76 percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the direction of the country" are racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic.

A lot of those people are likely beating their own hands with hammers to give themselves Trump support bruises.

Probably, but either way, it's certainly moronic.

They should also mention probably 25% of the Republicans aren’t either cause they certainly aren’t all MAGA in those protest from the red states. I think it’s more like the split is between democracy and autocracy.

I wish that was true, but 30% of Americans are ALWAYS satisfied. It is a different 30% over time, but that number stays fairly constant at 30%

Don't know. It can be culture, education, information deserts, human nature, who knows. But like clockwork, every bad policy has 30% support

As of August 30, 2025, the most recent Fox News poll shows Donald Trump's approval rating hovering around 44% to 48%, depending on the specific survey window and methodology 😑

Wait until inflation unfolds. Many Republican voters will reconsider when it costs them.

What Trump's doing is class warfare, the wealth of the nation is flowing to the top, and coming out of the groups below. They are not Democrat Party values which champion social programs for working class families. Neither side is perfect, but Trump makes the contrast clearer. It explains the poll.
