Currently? Perhaps, but if you are taking a poll of the general population you need to keep in mind that almost 50% of the population voted for him and would pick someone from the Democratic Party.

Forever? Probably not. I remember when the world thought nobody could ever be a dumber president than Dubya. And frankly, if Trump didn’t have a snivelling need for love and approval, he would probably implement more of the horrible things he talks about. One day the US could elect that very combination of evil and self-confident.

    A little less than 1/3rd voted for him.

    Correct, and even worse for Donald, the only good news he's gotten in elections has been primaries for the past two years. Candidates he backed have lost nearly every election in 2025 and 2026, and this has occurred in both red and blue states, and mostly in areas he won by double digits in 2024.

    Consider that Republicans literally stopped gerrymandering because Donald has pissed off so many voters they can't accurately predict where they have any electoral strength anymore.

    He is indisputably among the most hated presidents of all time.

    77.3 million votes for trump. Wikipedia

    73.6% of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote 174 million, 65.3% voted. 154 million. Census.gov

    About 231 million people could have voted.

    77.3/231= 33.4% or 1/3

    To put it in perspective if you walked up to an American adult that could have voted in 2024. You are twice as likely to hear that they didn't vote for trump or didn't vote than they voted for trump.

    And that's just as a percentage of registered voters. Compared to a total percentage of the population it's more like a fifth of people who voted for Trump. It really is a small minority and a broken electoral system that got us into this mess.

    And that's just as a percentage of registered voters

    The 33.4% is out of every 18+ adult in America that has registered or could register to vote.

    174 million are registered

    57 million are unregistered

    231 million total.

    77.3/231=33.4%

    340.1 million Americans in 2024

    77.3/340.1=22.7%

    So 22.7% of total Americans voted for trump. But that's counting babies, children, and young adults.

    Also trump won the popular vote in 2024 so the electoral system wasn't the cause. Rigged or poor system yes but he would have won without the electoral college.

    And there is no way to know what the people who didn’t vote in think of them. We cannot assume that they all disagree with him or would consider him the worst.
