Summary

A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.

Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.

The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.

Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”

    Am I the only one who thinks 53% of people disapproving of his performance is actually a pretty good record for him. This number should be in the 90’s.

      I think if you give it a month or two that number is going to change significantly. Most people haven’t really started to feel/see the consequences of his actions yet, and there is a bit of a lag.

        This is very optimistic for the devotion behind a cult. People are already used to sacrificing for an oligarch.
