CNN Poll: Trump Now More Beloved By Republicans Than Even the Great Ronald Reagan Was

Before getting to that: CNN's and MSNBC's ratings are falling. Again.

MSNBC and CNN suffered staggering losses in viewership over the past year -- while Donald Trump's ascendancy supercharged Fox News in the cable news ratings war.
The left-leaning networks -- which will both be spun off by their respective parent companies -- suffered year-over-year declines in all major metrics for the second quarter compared to the same period last year, according to the latest Nielsen data, which was reported by AdWeek.
Comcast-owned MSNBC, with its rabid anti-Trump lineup of anchors, drew an average 1.008 million primetime viewers from April to June, a year-over-year decline of 15%, Nielsen figures show.
In the the advertiser-covered 25-to-54 demographic, primetime viewership plunged 20%, to 91,000 compared to last year -- despite star anchor Rachel Maddow returning to full-time duty during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
Jen Psaki took over her 9 p.m. primetime slot Tuersdays through Fridays midway through the second quarter ratings period.
The exodus of eyeballs was even worse during the day, with total viewership plummeting 26%, to an average of 596,000, and 31%, to 57,000, in the key demo compared to the same quarter last year.
CNN, which has languished in last place despite paying anchor Anderson Cooper a reported $18 million in salary, averaged 538,000 total viewers in primetime for the three-month period and 105,000 in the demo, according to Nielsen
Year-over-year, the network saw declines of 13% in total viewers in primetime and a 15% drop in the 25-54 demo.
The cable news pioneer, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, dropped 14% in total viewers during the day, to an average of 406,000, and 16% in the demo, to 71,000, year-over-year, according to Nielsen.

It's not just ratings. We know the deranged left thinks and dreams and obsesses about politics and defeating TRUMPHITLER!!! every waking moment. They are voracious propaganda addicts and doom junkies.

They are not watching the news because:

1, Trump keeps on winning,

2, the leftwing propaganda outlets cannot hide this fact no matter how hard they try,

3, they're beginning to suspect that their propaganda outlets are lying to them,

and

4, the Democrat-Media Party seems completely unable to even get a simple information operation going that the public cares about. Ten years of hysteria and hoaxes have finally ended the left's ability to mount a proper psyop. Leftwing lunatics not only know they're losing, but they look at the Democrat-Media Party and see no signs and no reasonable hope for improvement in the near term.

So they tune out. The plummeting ratings aren't just doom for CNN and MSNBC. They're also a strong signal of complete demoralization of the left.

On to the finding that Trump is the most popular president among Republicans in history:

I say this not to slight Trump but to boost Reagan: Most liberal Rockefeller/Bush Republicans remained in the party under Reagan. They didn't approve of Reagan, but they still called themselves Republicans.

Liberal fake Republicans hate Trump so much they're now just Democrats, though some still continue to play True Conservative on MSNBC. So Trump's Republican Party is more Republican and conservative (and Trumpian) than Reagan's Republican Party was.

But still, this is wild: 65% of Republicans strongly approve of Trump. Not just approve, which I think is at something like 90%, but strongly approve.

Rarely do presidents deliver so much to their base that a supermarjority are strong supporters.

GOP voters love for Trump is record breaking. His strong approval (63%) is up like a rocket from term 1 (53%).

It's higher than any GOP prez on record at this pt.

95%+ of those Trump endorses win primaries. When you mess with Trump, you go in the grinder to quote Good Burger. pic.twitter.com/1Op7Wjq479

"In 2017, the Democratic Party was a pro-Israeli party. Look at this: They sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points more than with the Palestinians."
"But look at the sea change! Now Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points!"

25 Reagan empowered the deep state, and turned all elements of domestic policy into instruments to support foreign policy.

As admirable as he was, and as capable as he turned out, his focus was increasing the power of the state and his team wanted that more than anything.

I wonder what would have happened if he had chosen Governor John Connally as his running mate instead of GHW Bush

Medicaid not Medicare

Some twat my wife is friends with had a Facebook post saying how cruel republicans are that they cut Medicaid to millions of poor people. Then she said in the same breath essentially, Medicaid is only for the very poor and it’s not even that expensive.

Both loved America more than they loved the Global elitist bullies. Their Hollywood experience taught them how to communicate this to the American people in a way that resonates. And the left tried to assassinate them both, narrowly missing.

Reagan and Trump both have made some errors. The left doesn't understand we realize they weren't perfect. I'm happy to admit their flaws. But I can still admire the net good they brought to the country.

Unfortunately Reagan had a terrible VP, and HWB destroyed the conservative momentum and cemented the deep state in DC. Hopefully Trump is training the next generation of conservative youngsters how to do it right, so we can extend the current victories onward and keep peeling off liberal normie sane voters.

On a serious note, I wonder if they did the same screw-up as with the OJ trial. They were so anxious to avoid any appearance of racism that the judge, jury, and prosecutors were all DEI hires. The only non-DEI expert I remember was the defenses DNA expert who basically destroyed the prosecution's case.

The OJ judge, Lance Ito was the same guy who screwed up the Junk Bond King (Milkin?) case which was eventually thrown out after the PB spent a few years in jail. Last I heard he was hearing night-time traffic court in Torrance.

The prosecutor lady (forget her name) wrote a book which was basically several hundred pages blaming everybody else and her recent divorce and so forth...

If he were still alive and without mental decline, I think Reagan was media savvy enough that he would have swiftly grasped what Trump was trying to do with MAGA, and would have supported it. He would have been a fabulous mentor and helped Trump get on top of the swamp rats sooner. Ah, what could have been. My two cents.

I was a lukewarmish liberalish college coed. Until I had my first son during Reagan. I voted for Reagan's second term. I totally believed the newsprint propaganda his first election, of him being senile, etc.

That said, I LOVE President Trump. I will admit when he first ran I thought he was a clown. When he announced he was running the third time I probably rolled my eyes. The GOP debate he had me again.

President Reagan didn't have what President Trump has in 2025. I am sure no one would have thought most of this could happen. Iran has always been a problem since Carter, and Israel vs ME. He did not inherit loss of huge amts of $$$ to foreign pockets to laundry for politicians, increasing national cebt.

Reagan did not have to clean up after the mess Biden left our country in: tens of millions of illegals, some from Iran or similar flavor wanting another 9/11. Reagan did not have people confused about bathroom use. Reagan did not have Auntifa, and super deluxe crazy people hating him as much as sadly exist now. Reagan did not have the entire world against him.

If they can get another Democrat president elected, fine, then they can get their pardon.

I'm of the longstanding belief that as great as RWR was, we are living in a world today with the problems that he was unable to solve, for whatever reason:

Should have bombed Iran, if not after he was inaugurated, then certainly after the Beirut Bombing.
Should never have appointed O'Connor to SCOTUS.
Should never have made that amnesty deal with Tip.
Should never have let GHWB into the fold. Laxalt should have been his running mate.

There are some more, but that's all I've got for now. Again, for his time he was amazing. For me, however, Trump surpasses him.

Per the Supreme Court decision, his ruling only appies to people crossing the border in his district.

His district is DC, which (the last time I checked) doesn't have any international borders.

Bill Kristol is old (72) and afraid. He wants to remain part of 'something.' His fear extends to women in power.

His ramblings on the video went from defunding ICE to defunding all of DHS - maybe excluding TSA 🙄 - and then tossing in, "and Pam Bondi strutting around."

Yo, Bill! Bondi's the US Attorney General, and that's the US Justice Department you're knocking.

252 The larger issue with the ruling is declaring...the entire planet outside of the US as a class under Rule 23 (the formation of classes).

He declared. Trump will appeal. He'll get his stay within 24 hours. It'll be struck down, probably by the Circuit because the Circuit is gonna be smart enough to know that if they don't do it because Rule 23 was abused (it was), then SCOTUS will gut Rule 23 completely.

That was my suggestion above. But I'm not sure exactly what Trump did that was just enjoined. I think he said that asylum claims could not be made at all, as if they didn't exist. So an illegal scumbag wouldn't even be able to file a claim. If a claim is filed, even if its total bullshit (they all are), it could still be granted -- at least temporarily -- by a shit judge. Better to prevent these invaders from filing claims in the first place.

There is a well established process for claiming asylum, the problem is that The Biden Junta waived away all of those processes and now the courts are seeking to enforce lawlessness.

301 Disney's net income -- net, not gross -- was $5B. It was up 100% over 2023. Disney had 2 or 3 of the top 5 highest grossing movies in 2024.

Remember when all the news was Disney's cratering stock price? Well, it's back up to $122 -- the highest it's been in 3 or 4 years.

While I despise Disney as much as all of us here, the company is making piles of money. It ain't going anywhere.

Its cruise line is stupidly profitable, from what I understand. Its parks are essentially money printers as well (despite any news of "empty park!" or "Epic Universe!").

I didn't realize until the pandemic just how much of the botched AIDS response in the 80s was due to Fauci's meddling as director.

He initially told straight parents they could give kids AIDS by touching the same cereal box. He had no idea what he was doing.

Reagan followed him because he didn't have the medical expertise to go against him. He trusted he was using sound science. What else was he going to do at the time?

The big villain in the movie Dallas Buyer's Club, causing the protagonists to sneak in alternate drugs to treat AIDS since they are all banned by the US government, is actually Fauci.

If you just rent your content to other streaming services, you get royalties from the streaming services. It's all backend gravy with no cost. PLUS, you can sell it over and over, first to Netflix, then Apple, then Tubi. You get paid, over and over.

369 >>Maybe I'm just old but it bothers me a lot too. If we could have Trump with Reagan's persona, I would be a lot happier. No curse words, smooth and well spoken, clean and with a smile. But this is what we get now.

I think there is a tendency to overlook that we no longer live in the same country we did when Reagan was president. Republicans and Democrats had strong disagreements on a lot of things but for the most part things were handled with a degree of civility.

Before Trump was even sworn in for his first term Democrats and McCain Republicans were calling Trump a treasonous, Russian agent and trying to destroy him, his family and anyone in his administration. It's easy to forget but Trump said after he won that he was not going to pursue an investigation of Hillary and wanted the country to come together. In return they went to war against him and it hasn't stopped in over a decade.

You can't make peace with the establishment. You can't show weakness. They will literally destroy you and everyone around you.

372 Not from what I've red. The Royal Army officers from Britain treated George and his men with disdain because they were mere colonials. Pissed him right off.

Kinda what happened with Ben Franklin when he was colonial agent in London. Got treated like crap by the Limeys, and became an advocate for independence.

Those Brits had a talent for pissing off what would have been otherwise perfectly loyal subjects.
Posted by: Bulg at July 02, 2025 04:11 PM (77rzZ)

Some did, and I'm sure George was happy as they got shot and killed on the way to Ft Duquesne.

By mid war, though the British military lead had a policy of dealing with the colonial governments like assistants in the army. When they wanted a force to, say take a fort, he figured out the men and supplies needed, and sent out a request. And the colonial legislatures would figure out how to do it more like a partner. How to raise the money - loans, taxes and the like was up to them.

And then seconds after the war ended England was all 'you have to pay for the war' without them getting even a voice to complain, and ignoring that they already paid for part of it.

Or else join a new party when one comes, or just accept that their day in politics is done in this lifetime.

How the election and Donald Trump’s victory looks to Opinion writers.

'The Example of Ronald Reagan' By Gil Troy

It began, “I am scared that if Ronald Reagan gets into office, we are going to see more of the Ku Klux Klan and a resurgence of the Nazi Party,” Coretta Scott King said in November, 1980. “I’m afraid things are going to blow sky high during this next term,” a nursing student said. He’s a “nitwit,” added a Democrat. “He’s shallow, superficial and frightening,” one of that year’s historic numbers of “undecideds” insisted.

Ronald Reagan “seems not to relish complexity and subtlety,” the New York Times editorial endorsing President Jimmy Carter’s re-election proclaimed. ...

They say those are jobs amuricans won't do but I'm sure if they advertised $50/hr, health insurance and 401k match there'd a be a line a mile long.....

437 I don't recall who raised the speed limit, but certainly the 55 mph thing was in place before Carter. I started driving in the spring of '76 and it was already an accomplished fact on the Interstates.

65 came back in 87, so Reagan.

They will end up becoming school teachers unless too stubborn and prideful to do it. The whole NGO academic universe is dying.

Riri Williams is not just unrelatable--she's unlikable. She's arrogant, cold, and completely lacking in empathy. She constantly reminds the audience that she doesn't want to be a hero, has no moral obligation to anyone, and is building her suits and AI "because I can."

That's not strength--that's narcissism. Her every action is self-serving, yet the show insists we root for her because of her identity and not her choices. They try to dress it up in a narrative about her dead stepfather but it just rings hollow.

By the end of episode three, Riri commits a stone cold murder.

Apparently there are a lot of people like this in our country, in real life. The high school punk murderer in Texas, his enthusiastically grifting family and hangers-on, any POS that donated money, etc. etc.

441 @MikeBenzCyber "the EU’s “Voluntary Code of Conduct on Disinformation” just became MANDATORY. US social media platforms will now get whipped by huge EU fines if they don’t throttle what the EU calls “disinfo”"

USA out of NATO now.
