President Donald Trump's overall approval ratings have dropped to the lowest of his two terms, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey. The survey, which polled 1,000 people nationwide, found that 40% of 40% approve of the president's job performance and 58% disapprove, a six-point increase. His net approval fell 10 points to -18, marking the sharpest drop in net approval since Americans turned sour on his handling of the Iran war in 2020. Democrats and independents also saw record lows, but the decline from Republicans was particularly notable. While MAGA voters remained loyal to the president, non-MAGA Republican support declined by 19 points to 60%. The most worrisome development for the President and Republicans for the mid-terms is the sharp decline in both economic and overall presidential approval in GOP-held congressional districts.
