Trump’s approval rating shows slight decline

The Independent's Andrew Feinberg analyzes Trump controversial UN speech
  • Donald Trump's overall approval rating is experiencing a marginal decline, but voter concerns are increasing regarding his performance on key issues, including immigration, trade, the economy, and inflation.
  • Polling analysis from the Silver Bulletin Substack indicates a growing percentage of Americans strongly disapprove of Trump's actions, significantly outweighing those who strongly approve.
  • Trump's approval for his handling of the economy has fallen sharply, with a Reuters/Ipsos survey showing only 35% support, an 8-point drop since he took office.
  • His support on immigration-related topics has also decreased, with his net approval now negative, and his net approval on trade issues stands at -18.2%.
