New Trump Poll: Nobody Wants This!

Quinnipiac released a new poll today showing Trump under water on every single issue, and his approval rating has slipped into the danger zone of the 30s where presidents really start to lose power within their own party (because mathematically, the only way to get into the 30s in our two-party duopoly is to lose people within your own party). Trump’s job approval rating currently sits at just 38 percent. Immigration, the subject the braindead popularists in the Democratic Party think we should surrender to Trump, is a double-digit net disapproval issue for the president now, with just 43 percent approving versus 54 percent disapproving in this generic topline figure that Matt Yglesias seemed certain was immovable in a now-deleted tweet he’d love you to forget about.
Trump’s approval on trade is near-catastrophic, garnering just 38 percent support against 57 percent who disapprove just as its price hikes begin to take root in places like Walmart. And the big, beautiful bill whose mere passage through the House got America’s credit downgraded, is wildly unpopular with Independents, 57 percent of whom oppose it versus just 20 percent on board with taking healthcare away from people to partially pay for the wealthy’s tax cuts.
Nobody wants this!
Just 18 percent of Republicans endorse the signature aspect of this bill, decreasing funding for Medicaid. A majority (56 percent) think it should remain the same while more Republicans (21 percent) want to increase funding for Medicaid than to decrease it. No wonder Josh Hawley wet his pants over Medicaid cuts in that NYT op-ed. Nobody wants this!
