GOP Anti-Trump Group Perfectly Trolls Trump After New Poll Shows Steep Decline in Republican Satisfaction With the Country

President Donald Trump continues to face grim polling in the wake of his response to the worsening pandemic outbreak in the United States and to protesters demonstrating against racial injustice across the nation.

One of his favorite networks, Fox News, finds him trailing even in red states and multiple national polls show him trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden by double digits. The President says that these polls are fake.


But one of Trump's most vital consolations is his approval rating within the Republican party. The President frequently tweets out an uncited assertion that his approval rating among Republicans is in the 90s.

He always makes sure to end the tweet with a "Thank you!"




It's unclear where Trump gets these polling numbers, but a new survey from Pew Research Center shows his approval rating even among Republicans may be in jeopardy.

The poll asked Americans if they were satisfied with the way things are going in the United States.

Only 19 percent of Republicans said yes—a drop from 55 points in April.

It's important to note that satisfaction with events in the United States don't always translate to approval or disapproval of the President. Republicans might be dissatisfied with protests, extended lockdowns, Supreme Court rulings, but hold no blame for Trump.

However, this is by far the lowest Republican satisfaction has been in this poll for all of Trump's presidency. It's usually hovered above 50 percent. A drop this sudden signals that at least a slightly more significant number of Republicans are dissatisfied with the President than earlier in his term.

The famous anti-Trump Republican political action committee, The Lincoln Project, was quick to alert him of the foreboding numbers—and they used his own format to do so.

Some wondered what happened to the starry numbers Trump had boasted for ages.



The drop was so precipitous that people are now wondering if Republicans—who have largely remained loyal to Trump—are finally ready to walk away.





Others are more pessimistic.



It won't be til November that we know if Americans are satisfied enough with Trump's performance to give him a second term.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
