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.
Is this factual? Because if that’s true, that’s extremely bad, even shameful for a rich country like USA.
Yes, that is factual. There’s a reason newspapers are written to a 4-5th grade level, because adults need it like that.
Well unless I’m reading this wrong, it seems USA is doing pretty well compared to other OECD countries (age 15):

I’m not sure what these numbers are measuring, but it looks like less than 85% of schools in the US reported their data, could be a sampling bias there. Also, this is maybe at age 15, when many of the worst readers have already dropped out of school.
It looks like most countries have shitty literary levels, then. I was unaware other countries were just as bad. A quick Google showed a few results not quite in agreement saying the average for adults was 7th-8th grade in the US, or that half were below 6th.
I’m not saying you are wrong, more that it’s probably not that much better in other countries.
This research may be skewed, because they may not test on schools they know are doing poorly?
