Amidst a global stock market downturn triggered by President Trump’s tariffs, Fox News host Laura Ingraham urged viewers to disregard negative reports, asserting that Trump’s economic policies, though causing significant market volatility, ultimately benefit the U.S. economy. She cited positive comments from Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and downplayed the market’s recent plummet as a temporary “transition.” However, a CNN/SSRS poll revealed that 56% of Americans disapprove of the president’s economic handling, highlighting a stark contrast in public opinion. This economic uncertainty follows retaliatory tariffs from the EU and Canada in response to Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs.

A recent Abacus Data poll reveals that 46% of Canadians would support joining the European Union, significantly higher than the 10% who favor U.S. annexation. This level of EU support nearly matches that of the UK, where 45% favor rejoining. While the EU Commission spokesperson acknowledged the poll’s positive reflection on the EU’s appeal, membership criteria, including the definition of a “European state,” remain open to interpretation and would need to be met for Canada to join.

Multiple recent polls reveal a growing number of voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction under President Trump’s leadership, a significant shift from earlier polling data. This declining confidence is reflected in his approval ratings, which have fallen across various surveys, particularly regarding his handling of the economy and foreign policy. The negative shift is largely partisan, with Republicans largely supporting the president while Democrats and independents express greater disapproval. Experts suggest that continued economic instability and Trump’s foreign policy approach could further erode public support.

The public is losing patience with Trump; the current political climate is ripe for a decisive Democratic response. The initial enthusiasm for a new Trump administration has waned, replaced by a growing awareness of the economic hardship his policies are inflicting on many Americans. This presents a crucial opportunity for Democrats to capitalize on this shift in public sentiment.
However, a successful “pounce” requires more than simply pointing out Trump’s failures. Past attempts to highlight the economic downsides of his actions haven’t resonated deeply enough with the electorate. This suggests a need for a more compelling narrative, one that connects directly with the lived experiences of ordinary citizens.… Continue reading
Fifty-six percent disapproval of Trump’s handling of the economy, as revealed by a recent survey, is a significant figure, sparking considerable discussion and varied interpretations. It suggests a substantial portion of the population harbors negative views on his economic policies and their impact. This number, however, is considered by some to be surprisingly low given the prevailing economic conditions.
The current state of the economy, characterized by rising inflation and falling stock prices, seemingly contradicts the relatively low percentage of disapproval. Many argue that with the rising costs of everyday essentials like groceries, coupled with a volatile stock market, the dissatisfaction should be considerably higher.… Continue reading

Following a public disagreement with President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s approval rating surged from 57% to 68%, according to a Kyiv International Institute of Sociology poll. This significant increase, from +20% to +38% net approval, occurred between February 14th and March 4th. The rise followed a February 28th Oval Office meeting marked by a dispute over security assurances and a cancelled U.S.-Ukraine agreement. This increase contrasts with Elon Musk’s claim that Zelensky would lose a hypothetical election, a claim that disregards Ukraine’s current martial law which legally prohibits elections.

President Trump’s approval rating has fallen below his disapproval rating for the first time since his second term began, according to FiveThirtyEight, a shift occurring more rapidly than that of his predecessor. This negative turn comes despite a well-received joint address to Congress, highlighting a day of mixed signals for the president.
