About this episode

The episode discusses Trump's declining approval ratings and the factors contributing to it.

Trumps approval rating plummets to 40.5%, with 56.3% disapproving, according to RealClearPolling. Inflation and the October government shutdown are hurting his numbers. Sixty percent oppose the Iran war and his handling of it. Midterms are tight, with Democrats slightly leading Republicans in a generic ballot. Trump is the only president never to reach 50% approval in Gallup history, making these trends closely watched. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
