## Resource

President Trumps approval ratings plummet, with record-high disapproval at 59% in the latest NPR, PBS News, and Marist poll. Americans express concern over the economy and affordability, with 56% finding their local cost of living unaffordable and 80% feeling strained by gas prices. Other trackers mirror this decline, with the New York Times at 38% approval and 58% disapproval, and the RealClearPolitics average at 40.3% approval versus 56.8% disapproval. Confidence in Trumps decisions on immigration and military force also drops, raising questions about his second terms future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
