Trump Holds at 39% Approval as Fox Poll Shows 76% Rate Economy Poorly

3 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · Jul 23

Summary

  • Fox News’ latest poll kept Trump’s job approval at 39% for a third straight month, just 1 point above his record low.
  • Only 24% of voters rated the economy as excellent or good under Trump, while 76% called it only fair or poor, leaving him underwater on affordability, inflation, immigration and Iran.
  • Republicans led Democrats on just two issues—national security and crime—and even those margins were described as razor thin; 70% of voters also tied Republicans to elite interests versus 55% for Democrats.
  • That erosion is lifting Democratic midterm prospects: Kalshi now gives Democrats an 83% chance to win the House and a 44% chance to take the Senate, up from 18% when Trump began his second term.
