Podcast: Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It.

By The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent 

What if we told you that Donald Trump is a really unpopular president? Would that surprise you? It’s not something you hear much in the media. Yet in recent days new polls from the Associated Press, Gallup, Quinnipiac, Reuters, and The Economist all show Trump’s approval rating in terrible shape. The polling averages show the same. He’s in the toilet on specific issues too: On the economy and trade he’s polling in the thirties, and he’s deeply underwater on immigration, his “best” issue. Many of his most dramatic recent moments, from the failed Jimmy Kimmel ouster to the buffoonish indictment of James Comey, have flopped. We talked to Lakshya Jain, co-founder of the data firm Split Ticket and head of political data at The Argument, who’s been explaining that Trump is in a weak position. We talked about what all this new polling data really shows, why the media—and Democrats!—still reflexively assume Trump is “strong,” and what it all means for the 2026 midterms.
