The latest polling numbers are brutal for Donald Trump. An AP-NORC poll puts his approval at 33 percent — a nine-point drop since February, before the Iran conflict escalated — making it the worst approval rating since Richard Nixon resigned. Among independents, Trump is doing even worse than Nixon was at that point. A Fox News poll, typically friendly territory, shows Trump at just 42 percent approval overall, with net negative ratings on inflation (minus 44), government spending (minus 34), the economy (minus 32), the Iran war (minus 32), foreign policy (minus 26), and even immigration (minus 20).
