First, the good news for the President and Republicans who control Congress: it's time to stop the bleeding and heal before the midterm elections.
Now, the bad news: Their overall approval rating and Americans’ views of the economy, their top issue, are far lower today than they were just before the #GOP lost the House in the 2018 midterms.
A Fox News survey released yesterday evening finds that 34 percent of registered voters approve of Trump’s handling of the economy. In October 2018, that figure was 49 percent according to Fox. The poll didn’t measure how voters felt Trump was handling inflation specifically back then, but today’s number is anemic at 28%.
The fresh data aligns closely with an NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey, released Sunday, which showed 32 percent of adults approved of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living.
And lastly and fittingly, his approval numbers are in the toilet, and those are the ugly facts.
