Fox survey: Approval for Trump down 41%
Every major polling outfit now shows Trump underwater.
Yet nothing stings quite like the latest Fox News survey, the one network Trump once called “his favourite.”
Tariffs are eating his presidency alive
No magic reset button this time
Even Trump-friendly voices are running out of adulation.
The New York Times’ Ross Douthat reminded readers that Trump has staged comebacks before.
When his numbers cratered last April, he quietly eased off the tariff rhetoric, “stopped shipping people to the Salvadoran dungeon,” and hit pause on brutal spending cuts.
“The prescription is less obvious,” Douthat wrote.
Like Biden before him, Trump is trapped in an economy that “isn’t terrible, but leaves people chronically dissatisfied.”
You can’t fix that kind of slow-burn anger with an executive order or a late-night tweet.
The White House keeps touting artificial intelligence (AI) as the great growth accelerator of tomorrow, but voters aren’t worried about ChatGPT; they’re worried about eggs, rent, and whether their job will exist next year.
On those life-or-death issues, Douthat delivered the chilling bottom line: the White House has no clear plan.
