The president's approval rating has slipping into negative territory for the first time in his second term.

Summary

Donald Trump’s approval rating has slipped into negative territory for the first time in his second term, with 47% approval and 49% disapproval according to Newsweek’s polling average.

Economic concerns appear to be driving the decline, with 57% of Americans viewing his economic moves as “too erratic” and 61% disapproving of his tariff policies.

Trump’s current approval rating is lower than both Joe Biden’s at the same point in his presidency (53%) and Trump’s own numbers from his first term (50%).

Polling shows particular dissatisfaction with his handling of inflation and government spending.

    There’s not an organized “March on Washington” type thing because the country spans a continent. It’s an expensive 5 hour flight from Los Angeles to DC and that’s if you fly direct.

    And feel like flying and risking becoming a headline because the FAA is falling apart.

    Bernie is right though, yet again. Change isn’t gonna happen in Washington. People need to protest where they are and get involved locally. Notice how the torching of Tesla cars is the only thing that grabs headlines? That’s telling you something. If we want coverage this time with the corporate media in on the job, standing around in hats holding signs in free speech zones ain’t likely to cut it.
