Donald Trump’s public opinion poll ratings are hitting an all time low, as many Independents, moderate Republicans, Latino Americans, young voters, and women have soured on him immensely.
This is due to the Iran War; gasoline prices; growing antagonism toward his deportation policies; the refusal to come clean on the Epstein files; the continuation of the federal government shut down; his promotion of more glorification of himself to an obscene level, and so much else.
His public opinion rating overall is at 35 percent, and only 43 percent of Republicans are supportive of him, down from 52 percent in January. And in a new CNN poll, his rating on the economy is 31 percent, a new career low.
67 percent are unhappy with how Trump is handling major issues overall, and 63 percent are critical of his foreign policy actions.
Only 27 percent completely support all or most of his policies. And Trump is the only President never to reach 50 percent or higher in any Gallup Poll, with only Harry Truman at 22 percent and George W. Bush at 25 percent as Presidents who have had a lower overall ranking.
