AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
President Trump is facing a dramatic drop in his approval, according to five new polls released Sunday — including one that shows he has the lowest ratings for a new presidential term since World War II.
Surveys from CBS, ABC and the Washington Post, NBC, CNN and the New York Times all show Trump’s standing in the public slipping significantly since he started announcing tariffs on all of America’s biggest trading partners.
Trump has tried to reassure the public that the tariff onslaught will lead to Americans paying lower income taxes and be a boon for manufacturing jobs.
