Roughly 96% of people polled by the Mirror US believe Donald Trump is the "dumbest president ever."

The survey, conducted last week, asked 15,000 people to assess President Trump's decision-making as the crucial 2026 midterm elections approach.

"'Dumb'" is such a polite word," one commented.

"I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 90. Even kids think he's stupid," another joked.

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.
