Trump's Approval Rating Drops Among White Working Class
A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found 82% of working-class Americans say groceries are unaffordable, while only 15% of adults strongly approve of Trump.
- On Friday, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported President Donald Trump's net approval rating is "under the Hudson River," citing a Washington Post-Ipsos poll showing only 15% of 2,648 adults "strongly approve" of his job performance.
- For households earning less than $50,000, 82% feel groceries are "not affordable," with only 16% believing they are affordable. Enten noted this consensus is rare for any demographic group to reach.
- Trump's war in Iran has disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, driving up food and gas prices; 66% of Americans now say groceries are "unaffordable," according to polling data.
- Enten wondered whether voters will take out their anger on Republicans in upcoming midterm elections, as Trump's net approval rating is now 39 points underwater.
