Trump Approval Dips Below First Term Levels
President Trump's approval rating slides further, now netting -13.7 per Silver Bulletin, worse than Biden's at this point and below his first term marks, with strong disapproval hitting 46% amid relentless media attacks. Polls like Pew show it at 37%, down from 40%, as even Republicans waver on ethics confidence dropping to 42%. Gallup notes a new second-term low near 34%, fueled by shutdown fights and economic grumbles.
