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.
Right-wing media capture is a significant contributor, plus many of these people have been supporting him for so long that it’s like a frog in boiling water. That said, as more and more if this shit starts effecting them personally, they’ve been loosing faith in their Omnisiah God-King.
