President Trump's approval rating has fallen precipitously since he took office due largely to growing economic concerns.
  • Trump’s approval has taken a substantial swing of 9.6 points, from a net positive of 6.2 points in late January to a net negative of 3.4 points in mid-April.
  • Trump’s loss in support among Hispanic and young adults has been especially steep.
  • The president has not persuaded Americans that foreign countries and producers will bear the burden of higher tariffs, or that the gain will be worth the pain.

    I live in a very rural area. I’m aware of what rural people support. My point was just that the popularity polling has been and always will be flawed. It doesn’t represent what the majority of the country believes. But we have a fucked up system with the electoral college essentially allowing lower populated states to have essentially the same say as states with big cities.
