Summary
Trump’s approval rating has turned negative in a new YouGov/Economist poll, with 50% disapproving versus 45% approving of his job performance.
This marks the first underwater rating in a month, following similar trends in other polls. Political experts attribute the decline to backlash against tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and DOGE’s federal worker firings.
While Trump maintains stronger approval on national security (51%) and immigration (50%), he scores lowest on inflation (42%).
The poll shows a particularly sharp drop among independents, shifting from -5 to -17 approval margin.
Fucking Schumer said his plan is to wait until it’s below 27%, and then start trying…
So I don’t get why 45% approval is a win if it’s barely half way to dem leaderahip doing…
Well, anything
You got it backwards. He said he would bet that the republicans would wait till 40%, wile democrats are at 27%…. So even when trump gets below 40, the democrats will do nothing and sit there preparing their “i told you so speech” assuming that some republicans will walk over to them to receive it. He is playing completely passive.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party’s own approval rating is that low, and they’re still not sure when they’re supposed to start trying…
I feel like if we titled both as "rich people’s approval rating " it comes into focus a bit more.
Imagine polling badly as the opposition when fucking Trump is in charge.
