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.

      Bush II had an approval rating around 25-30% at the end of his time in office. Consider that the bottom for how many people will still support a complete and obvious failure.

        IIRC, that was about the same numbers as when Nixon got on the helicopter to fly away after resigning in disgrace. There are qons that treat their party the same way they treat their favorite sportsball team.

        It doesn’t matter what “their guy” does, they are with them. Seriously, donvict could be caught throwing lit puppies into traffic and he’d probably still have 25-30% with him. That’s probably about the only truth donvict ever said when he talked about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
