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.

They make a huge argument about the rise in protests about Gaza being a Chinese attack strategy, but in person I’ve yet to meet one human being that thinks the Gaza situation is OK. They were just mad that we had a loophole out of the propaganda tunnel.
