Online reactions rolled in Friday after news that President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy approval rating had sunk to its lowest yet.
A new Marist poll found that only 37% of adults in the United States approve of how Trump has handled foreign policy, Newsweek reported. The results were gathered from January 12 to 13 and showed that 56% of those polled disapproved of Trump’s international actions, while 7% were unsure.
Users on social media had thoughts about the polling results and Trump’s policies abroad.
“A majority of Americans (56%) either strongly oppose or oppose the U.S. taking military action in Venezuela. 36% of Americans approve of how President Trump is handling the economy. 57% disapprove. 38% approve of how President Trump is performing in office. 56% disapprove,” Sarah Longwell, founder and publisher of the Bulwark, wrote on X.
“How could 38% of those polled still approve of him? None are so blind as those that will not see,” technology reporter and author Lance Whitney wrote on X.
“These numbers are brutal—and entirely justified. A majority of Americans finally see him for the profoundly unfit, narcissistic menace he is. Yet 38% remain in the cult. Astonishing,” user Dr. Cole wrote on X.
“How can 38% approved of anything he does?” Retired educator Terry Hongell wrote on X.
“If you get your news on X, you probably thought Trump has a 90% approval,” political commentator Tom Santos wrote on X.
“I am envious of the six percent of people who are not sure. I will never know what that is like,” writer Andy Hutchins wrote on X.
“Buyers remorse, America? Oh well. You were warned. Still you said, let’s do it again!! Not a lot of sympathy here,” Canadian novelist Jeffrey Luscombe wrote on X.
