Donald Trump: Approval ratings in the US fall to a record low ahead of the midterms

Rising prices for fuel and groceries, along with an ongoing Iran war, are not making Donald Trump popular with the American electorate right now. Instead, he flatters a Democratic superstar.

Trump's at 29 percent in the polls. National TV networks are boycotting him. His presidency is collapsing. And @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social gave him exactly what he wanted today: attention and a lifeline to normalize him. Shame on Zohran Mamdani. Shame on him.

@rbreich.bsky.social

According to a new NBC News poll, 55% of voters believe Trump's policies have hurt the economy — a 7-point increase since the start of the Iran War.

Remember when he ran in 2024 promising to "end inflation on Day 1?"

Just another broken Trump promise.

Did Trump Keep ANY of His Campaign Promises?

The Trump regime started the week by telling lies about Alex Pretti's murder.Now, Trump has pivoted back to telling lies

Op de dag dat Trump weer nieuwe media toegang tot the White House heeft verboden, zakt zijn approval rating naar historisch dieptepunt van 29%.
What’s next, zou hij nu ook peilingen gaan verbieden waar hij niet goed uitkomt?
