Trump "... has shown almost no ability - or interest - in winning back support...", and a net approval of -21.4 [View all]

Data journalist and pollster Elliott Morris was taken aback on Friday after new polling showed President Donald Trump receiving his single-lowest favorability rating of his political career, and the lowest of any past president at this point in their term since the 1940s.

According to the polling aggregator FiftyPlusOne, as of Thursday, Trump’s net approval had sunk to -21.4, with 37.2% approving of his job performance and 58.6% disapproving.

“That’s the lowest mark of his second term,” Morris wrote in an analysis published Friday on his Substack, Strength In Numbers.

“Again and again, the biggest drops in his standing follow events that raised costs, heightened uncertainty, or reinforced a sense that the country is off track. And because the president has shown almost no ability – or interest – in winning back support, his unpopularity looks less like a purely political or economic liability and more like a defining feature of his second term.”
