As mass deportation raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continue to spark protest and split public sentiment, President Trump’s approval rating has slipped to a new low in the latest Yahoo/YouGov poll.

A survey of 1,597 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 26 to June 30, finds that just 40% now approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down from 44% in March. Meanwhile, a full 56% of Americans — up from 50% in March — currently disapprove of Trump’s performance. That’s a net swing of 10 percentage points away from the president over the last three months.

At this point in Trump’s first term, his disapproval rating was 13 points higher than his approval rating, according to YouGov data. Today, it’s 16 points higher. In comparison, former presidents Barack Obama (+14) and Joe Biden (+7) both enjoyed positive approval ratings halfway through their first year in office.

Immigration is no longer helping Trump

Immigration has long been an area of relative strength for Trump. Before last November’s election, 48% of Americans predicted he would do a better job on the issue than former Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival; just 36% thought Harris would do better. And even in March, after a couple of months in office, more Americans approved (48%) than disapproved (44%) of how Trump was actually handling immigration as president — in contrast to nearly every other issue.

1. This is why the American voter

is an idiot.

4. She's a woman, and black. And America is misogynistic and racist.

2. I do not believe he is worried about another election. The have the voting tabulators figured out and really do not

care how people vote.. Kind of like the elections in the old soviet block. They could announce the vote totals months before the election.

[Justice matters.]

5. I just saw they are asking the DOJ to investigate and criminally charge...

Elections Officials

Their criminal strategy is clear: To intimidate anyone who dares wanting to work at the midterms election as Election Official.

Why? Because with this lawless administration in charge, who in their right mind would ever want to risk ending up in jail due to made up criminal charges for working the job?

So, the end goal is to cancel the elections due to a sudden lack of workers!

Isn't that easy enough in order to remain in power forever?

No need for eloon's help any longer.

7. Do you have any credible sources we can see on this?

n/t

[Justice matters.]

8. The convicted idiot will keep his stupid intimidation since they work for him

and only for him. If he needs to cancel the midterms "because nobody wants to do the work" he is stupid enough to pull it ("hey, it's not my fault, it is THEIR fault..." you know, it's never his fault...).

11. What are the odds that people voted for democrats down ballot but not for Harris?

3. Trump doesn't care because Yahoo is "fake" news.

6. All Traitor cares about is pleasing Putin

and the Billionaires.. and that will please him Damn self.

But this my be good news for We The People

9. Bush was under 20% by the time he left.

When he gets there, then I'll believe people are actually waking up.

[C Moon]

10. Bush crashed the housing market and economy. Those were scary times: I remember Obama

certainly had his hands full, trying to fix things up, like offering deals for those who traded in old vehicles, etc
And brick and mortar stores closing like wildfire.

So I think there is a chance trump will see that 20%, because I doubt what he is doing is for the good of the country. Only the very rich—and not even only the very rich in the U.S.
