Public approval of Donald Trump’s presidency has dropped by 6 percentage points since April and his approval rating is now 20 points underwater, 38-58, according to a new national University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll of 1,000 respondents conducted July 25-30.
“Six months into his second term as president, Donald Trump looks to be on the ropes with the American public,” says Tatishe Nteta, provost professor of political science at UMass Amherst and director of the poll. “Trump’s approval ratings, already historically low for a newly elected president, continue to sink with close to 6-in-10 Americans (58%) expressing disapproval of the job that Trump is doing in office.
Or as Abraham Lincoln is supposed to have said:
You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
And as Trump is now finding, if you behave like a psychopathic jackass, pissing off all your allies both at home and abroad, all but the dumbest of your own supporters will turn against you.
It's time for Congress to act.
