Summary
Trump’s approval rating has turned negative for the first time in his second term, with FiveThirtyEight showing 47.6% approval and 47.9% disapproval (-0.3% net).
This shift happened faster than in his first term. The drop coincides with new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, fueling economic concerns.
Despite a well-received congressional address (69% CNN approval, 76% CBS/YouGov), his ratings continue to decline.

How the fuck is it still 47.6% though. That means basically every second American supports his shit and that’s insane

Think about who has time to sit around and take surveys and who can't because they have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet. These kinds of surveys usually have a bit of bias because of that.

Yeah, you gotta have some more "I voted for Trump, but this isn't what I wanted" by now. I know most of the Republicans are cultists, but that number usually hovers around 40%.

Those leapords haven't really begun eating everyday american faces yet (for those that don't follow the news). The conditions for the feast are being set up beautifully though.

Yeah these numbers are going to nose dive real quick once the negative consequences start happening and some of those are just days away.

Fuck you Krasnov!
I wish I could vote in some of these polls, clearly I get bypassed for never answering my phone for numbers I don't recognize.

I'm not usually the type for conspiratorial thinking, but can we really trust these numbers? There is a strong incentive to manipulate statistics of support here, and with all the other blatant corruption happening right now I don't think it'd be unreasonable for the strings to be being pulled here

The short answer is basically Trump supporters are overrepresented in the watchers. Biden also got numbers in the high 60s.

I'm saddened and disappointed it took this long.
