Summary
Trump’s approval rating dropped to 43%, the lowest since his January return to office, amid backlash over new tariffs and a mishandled military strike disclosure.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 37% approve of his economic leadership, and 34% support his foreign policy.
A majority view his tariff hikes as harmful, while 74% criticized the use of Signal to discuss a Yemen operation.
The poll, conducted online with 1,486 adults, showed bipartisan concern and a 2-point decline since March, reflecting rising unease over Trump’s policies.
And what would be bad enough that they would choose to give up their dictator?
They have a more controllable dictator in reserve. Thiel just needs to say the word.
Yikes.
When the base is mad enough to throw them out if they don’t. The Florida special elections didn’t flip any seats, but they showed a 15-point swing away from the GOP in deep red parts of the state. That’s gonna make them sweat. Unless they can sufficiently rig the midterms or sway Trump off his current “crash the economy for lulz” trajectory, it may well be a bloodbath, and that’s the sort of math that starts peeling sycophants away from Trump.
