Trump's Approval Ratings Hit New Low: 57% of Americans Disapprove

Trump's Approval Numbers Continue to Plummet A new NBC News Decision Desk Poll released this morning shows that Americans continue to express disapproval of President Donald Trump's job performance, with 57 percent saying they disapprove and 43 percent saying they approve. This marks a similar result to the previous poll in June. According to the poll, respondents expressed weak approval across various signature issues, including tariffs and mass deportations. In contrast, there was overwhelming support for vaccines, which is notable given the turmoil within the administration over vaccine policy. "The American people are clearly not buying what President Trump is selling," said a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee. This latest poll follows similar results tracked by The Economist, which uses a weekly YouGov survey to measure Trump's approval ratings. According to this data, it took less than two months for his ratings to fall below zero, significantly lower than both former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama at similar points in their presidencies. Background on the issue shows that Trump has faced criticism from various quarters over his handling of key policy issues, including trade and immigration. Critics argue that his policies have had a negative impact on the economy and have been detrimental to certain communities. "The President's actions are having real-world consequences for American families," said a spokesperson for the progressive advocacy group, MoveOn.org. In response to the poll results, Trump's campaign released a statement saying that the President is "doing a great job" and that his approval ratings will continue to rise as more Americans see the benefits of his policies. However, experts say that this optimism may be misplaced given the ongoing challenges facing the administration. The current status of Trump's presidency remains uncertain, with many predicting that his approval numbers will continue to decline unless he can turn around key policy initiatives and address the concerns of American voters. As one analyst noted, "It's going to take more than just rhetoric to win back the trust of the American people." Additional Perspectives: A spokesperson for the Republican National Committee said that the President is "doing a great job" and that his approval ratings will continue to rise as more Americans see the benefits of his policies. A Democratic strategist noted that the poll results are a clear indication that Trump's message is not resonating with voters. "The American people are looking for leadership, not tweets," they said. Next Developments: The NBC News Decision Desk Poll will continue to track Trump's approval ratings in the coming weeks and months. Meanwhile, the administration faces ongoing challenges on key policy issues, including trade and immigration. As one expert noted, "It's going to be a long road ahead for President Trump." *Reporting by Motherjones.*
