Summary

A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.

Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.

The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.

Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”

    Hell must be freezing right now with FoxNews even calling out Trump. With tumbling stock market, I did not think that “voting with your wallet” actually works.

    I am more curious as to what will Democrats do next in light of Trump admin’s first hundred and more gaffes. Will the Democrats learn from their mistakes and reform? Or will they exploit Trump’s gaffes like during Covid, but learn nothing and the Republicans will field someone worse for the next election (assuming there will be a next election)? Or, at worse, will Democrats continue to enable Trump like they are now with Chuck Schumer?
