President Trumps net approval rating has hit a new low in the latest Economist/YouGov poll, taken as he moved to involve the U.S. in conflict in the Middle East.
The poll, which was in the field when Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, found Trumps job performance 14 percentage points underwater, with 40 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval.
Its the lowest net approval point of Trumps second term, according to the pollster, and lower than his net approval during most of his first term.
Americans were more likely to disapprove than approve on a range of issues, from a negative 2-point net approval on national security to a negative 26-point net approval on inflation and prices. Approval for Trumps handling of the conflict between Israel and Iran had an overall negative 17-point net score, down from negative 4 points the week prior.

(4,281 posts)...it makes them feel good about themselves for a change. FINALLY they get to experience what NOT feeling like a dumbass is like. They must not be as stupid as they've always felt if they can match intelligence with the president! Too bad they can only manage the feeling of being intelligent and not the experience.
