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.”
You have to take into account that at least 30% of the total are likely “Trump is sent by God and is devinely inspired and therefore can do no wrong” crowd. So when his disapproval number hits 70% that’s as high as it’ll go.
Except I thought he was only elected by 31% of the public and at least a small portion of them are turning against him too. Remember a lot of people didn’t vote.
