A Quinnipiac University poll released today has Trump's approval under water at 42% approve; 53% disapprove. Independents are 36%-58%. poll.qu.edu/poll-release
Interesting to look at the issue specific approvals too. Approve-disapprove numbers:
Economy: 41-54
Russia/Ukraine War: 38-55
Foreign Policy: 42-53
Immigration: 46-49
Military: 41-48
The only issue he's above water on is trade with China, at 46-44.
If there is a government shutdown, voters will blame democrats (32%), republicans (31%), and Trump (22%), with 15% having no opinion. An outright majority would blame a republican, and they're 62% of those offering an opinion. Going for a shutdown to fight Trump is all but a gimme for us with these kinds of numbers.
The underwater immigration number strikes me as too low compared to other polls but it's possible that the astonishing absence of headlines about it are catching up to him.
I had a suspicion the mass deportation gambit was a red herring. We had a single week of shock and awe and then....nothing. We were expecting news cycles inundated with images of children ripped apart from families and boarded onto ICE buses like cattle, but I haven't seen any images even remotely like that since January. Deportation numbers are lacking what we saw in the last year of Biden's term. But I don't think voters who are otherwise amenable on deportations have caught on to this because the reckless dismemberment of the federal government is devouring all of the headlines as the scale of immigration raids has been a microscopic fraction of what was promised.
Could be. I def think the first two weeks had a lot of тАЬlook busyтАЭ energy, and today there was news that theyтАЩre moving migrant detainees away from Gitmo after realizing a week or two ago military flights were too expensive.
Long run, though, I imagine the lack of border encounters is the number the administration will actually flag

Trump has only performed better than Trump 45 in presidential approval ratings.
What's striking to me is in even in his better polls, Trump's indie support numbers are TERRIBLE.
There goes that honeymoon. Tariffs and daily musings about annexing Canada are sure to bring those Indy numbers back up though, IтАЩm sure

If Trump was smart heтАЩd muster American soft power within the G7 to aggressively block out Chinese trade but, alas
If Trump was smart, he'd cease to be Trump.
True
Or even take Howard SternтАЩs advice and see a psychotherapist.
Also, go figure, Americans like Canadians! I saw posted on another website a poll that Canada joining the Us is a position that has 8% approval.
