Trump isn't even a dumb person's idea of a smart person.
post
God damn it. I was hoping this would have been an actual poll with proper data on who they polled and shit but it was just a fuckass Shitter poll.
If you thought for a second that ~85% of Trump’s MAGA cult would tell a pollster that Trump is the dumbest president ever, you… thought wrong.
Same here.
Every poll depends a lot on the phrasing of the question. The question:

As far as journalistic integrity goes, the title should've been "...people agree he is the dumbest..." and not believe.
OTOH, glad to see there's still some normal human beings on Xhitter.
Also, what a horrible outlet.
Even with that advantage, people still have a worse opinion of the Democratic Party than of Trump and the Republican Party
Hopelessness/Despair 2028
Seems like a great one to me:
New Marquette Law School national survey finds Democrats expand lead on congressional ballots; Trump approval declines
The survey was conducted Sept. 2-9, 2026, interviewing 1,023 adults nationwide, with a margin of error of +/-3.3 percentage points. For registered voters, the sample size is 864, with a margin of error of +/-3.6. For likely voters, the sample size is 581, with a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points.
Buddy we're talkinbg about the article linked by OP, not whatever this is.
Buddy, you need to follow the links, lol.
The survey, conducted last week, asked 15,000 people to assess President Trump's decision-making as the crucial 2026 midterm elections approach. The results coincide with other reports this week, indicating that more than half of Americans believe Trump's stewardship has ultimately hurt the economy.
When you go that link, it links to the who took the survey:
"Trump is breaking records. Yesterday, the Marquette Law School poll came out, and take a look -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61 points! That is the worst Donald Trump has ever polled on inflation, and not only is it the worst that Donald Trump has polled on inflation, but it is the worst that any president ever has polled on inflation. This is literally the worst net approval rating on inflation for any president," he said.

It's still an unrelated survey, not the one the article is about. It's better than a twitpoll, but the 15k sample size got me excited in a way a 1500 sample size doesn't.
Raw sample size means very little when you're wanting statistically significant information. A properly prepared poll can get a statistically representative response from as little as 100 responses as long as you're not needing something like 1% margins.
On the other hand, a twitter poll will self-select based on that userbase. It won't be an representative base of the country/world... but it will give a statistically representative response for the group of users still on and actively using the MechaHitler site. MechaHitler social media users giving a 96% response like this is insane. Twitter is nearly as far from a left wing bastion as you can get, other than Truth Social.
Hm. I‘m curious who was polled. I‘m surprised there isn‘t the usual ~30% boot licking fascist bracket.
It was literally a Twitter poll. Could not be more meaningless.
Name one political poll, ever, that is not underpowered and not designed to give a desired answer from the start.
I just conducted a poll with a self-selected sample size of one person, and found that a whopping 100% of people think your argument is dogshit.
Before you criticize my poll's methodology, I'm gonna need you to name one political poll that is not underpowered and not designed to give a desired answer from the start.
Yeah it can't be a decent population spread. Republicans that have fallen from MAGA would still point fingers at another president they didn't like before saying a Republican was the dumbest.
4% hit the wrong button on accident
Lincoln and JFK were smarter presidents even post-gunshot. Trump out-dumbs half a plate of cold scrambled eggs.
He'll still get 30% ready to vote for him again
I think the apt answer is: "is he making decisions that actually make the US better?" He has made billions. He has hugely benefited his personal allies, allies that are not your allies. He did every shady thing he could do right in front of the entire population and still nothing has been done to really stop him. He gave a friend of his millions to clean a pool and they clearly were just stealing mob style and that was what we saw in plain view.
I want to talk about polls I think this is partially how they are rigging elections...
I got a texas based like survey and I was just, why not..
Literally when I would say i would support the other candidate other than the republican it would go into crazy talking points about Trans rights and stuff and give me an option to change my vote.
How is this not illegal?
I really enjoy those surveys because there's usually a fill in part at some point and I use then to express the most blasphemous opinions possible. When one survey was trying to gauge at what point abortion should be legal, I wrote in that if it's still attached to me by umbilical cord I get to crush its skull between my thighs as a conservative limit.
As someone from outside the US ... the abortion stuff is wild to me. It's between the mother and doctor to me ... I don't see a point in people who aren't knowledgeable about this process to chime in.
You'd surprised. We got these crazies protesting on a regular basis here in Switzerland. Sure, they got no power other than disturbing the public transportation, but they exist. Usually they need to be protected by huge police tricks.
oh wow, that's interesting, are these "crazies" religious? like do they put up any religious placards or whatever?
This is a picture of Trump's 2017 administration making nationwide decisions about women's healthcare.

Trump is living proof that 'EVERYONE' can be president
hate to say it but the 4% are retarded
maybe the 4% are like "the dumbest president so far"
I wish this was the result of a random sampling of your population, but it's not. It's meaningless.
Not defending the moron, but where and who you ask make a difference. I still see a lot of moron followers in my area.
Did they think this before or after they voted for him a THIRD time? Jesus Fucking Christ, and I would like to see that...
The dumbest president would be smarter than a big cow pie. Hmm, this is tough.
I mean, William Henry Harrison's stupidity arguably killed him the day he took the office (although he only died a few weeks later). So the bar is pretty high there.
But Trump is stupid in the worst way possible.. The way that hurts other people.
Trump is old enough to default to what works for him. To some this comes off as "smart", but to most it comes off as dumb.
In all honesty, I think it's mostly autopilot at this point. I'm old enough to recognize an autopilot when I see one (Hey, we've all been doing it from time to time). But his autopilot is driving him and everyone with him straight i to the ground.
To those of you who have dabbled in pilotiing: CFIT
And yeah, that's pretty dumb.
Yet they still leave him unimpeached.
Technically not true. He's been twice impeached.
Attempted*
Again, technically not true. His IS and remains an impeached president. He has been impeached twice by Congress, and that is still the case.
The senate failed to convict him.
Impeach means to accuse, it's analagous to indictment in criminal law.
impeached twice, not convicted each time. third time may be charmed.
Because the number is utterer bullshit used to get you to click and nothing else.
100% of people outside the US believe US voters are the dumbest ever. Twice, so that's like 200%ish.
