It’s no wonder that Donald Trump hates the media and pollsters. They continue to pop his bubble. That said, his bubble has been popped and his “ratings” dreadful for quite some time but he managed to get reelected. This time, however, Trump has reached his lowest, post-January 6 numbers and he has two more years to go. If this trend continues, Trump will end up making Herbert Hoover look like a heroic figure.
A record-high 73% of US adults say that President Donald Trump hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with just 27% saying he’s had the right priorities.
That comes amid increasingly bleak views of the Iran war, stagnating economic unhappiness, and broad discontent about Trump’s approach to these challenges.
Roughly two-thirds of Americans think that Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions and that his military decisions in Iran have hurt the US.
Around three-quarters say the president is not in touch with the problems ordinary Americans face in their daily lives.
Trump’s overall approval rating, 34%, matches the career low he last saw at the close of his first term, following the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, a high across his terms, with a record-low 15% strongly approving.
And, nota bene: “Within his own party, his approval rating has hit a new low at 78% among Republicans, and just 19% of Republicans say they’re enthusiastic about the rest of his second term, down from 38% last spring.”
Only 15% think Trump’s really out there killing it. That leaves 85% feeling otherwise, in various degrees of approval and disapproval. But it looks like the hardcore base is down to 15%.
