-22
A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds President Trump at his lowest point on virtually every metric. “Trump’s overall job approval has fallen to net -22, and he’s now underwater or tied on every single issue we track, including border security, which had been his last remaining bright spot. Democrats have opened a 10-point lead on the generic congressional ballot, the widest we’ve recorded. … And voters disapprove of Trump’s tariff policy — presumably his focus, according to Vance, and which was largely invalidated by the Supreme Court last week — by 21 points.”
57%

“A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released Friday finds Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of tariffs by a 30 percentage-point margin, 64 percent to 34 percent. … Those ratings are identical to a poll last April, despite Trump’s persistent efforts to sway public opinion on the issue.”
