Donald Trump's Monday crashes and burns as polling reveals that his approval rating has hit a record low for his second term — plummeting to a pathetic 37%.

And it gets so much worse for our would-be dictator...

According to a CNN/SSRS survey, 63% of Americans say that they disapprove of Trump's job performance as president. The new numbers represent a dramatic drop from the last CNN poll in July, which revealed that 42% approved of Trump while 58% disapproved.

These new numbers are inching towards Trump's lowest low for either term, which was 34% approval immediately after the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In other words, he's so bad at being president this time around that it's as if he's incited another insurrection as far as the American people are concerned.

Shortly after his second term started, Trump was riding relatively high. The poll found in February that 47% approved while 52% disapproved. The longer that Trump remains in office, the more that the public realizes that he's a disaster of historic proportions.

The new poll also shows that people making less than $50,000 have turned drastically on Trump, an unsurprising development given the fact that he has spiked inflation through his disastrous tariffs and cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. That demographic's approval has dropped from 45% approval in February to a paltry 31% now.

He has also lost substantial support from independents, a key voting bloc for winning elections, with their approval going from 43% at the start of his term to 28% now.

If this downward trend continues (and it's likely to since Trump is only getting worse and worse at his job) the mid-term elections are going to be a disaster for Republicans. If Democrats retake the House and Senate we can stop the MAGA agenda dead in its tracks and use subpoena power to launch a slew of investigations into the widespread corruption of this administration.
