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.
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.
