Trump’s net approval is reported as negative, with more people disapproving than approving. Erickson links weak GOP midterm prospects to Trump’s failure to take actions that could improve the economy, including resolving Iran issues and ending tariffs. He argues tariffs do not work and that Trump has been influenced by people who believe in outdated economic ideas. A New York Times/Siena College poll shows fewer Republicans than Democrats would be backed if midterms were held immediately. The poll also measures Trump’s net approval as deeply negative. Trump’s team signals a strategy of contrasting with Democrats rather than changing course, while Democrats are framed as needing to explain affordability improvements despite prior tax-hike efforts.
"Erick Erickson blamed President Donald Trump for the GOP's dismal outlook heading into November's midterm elections on Monday. In a post on X, Erickson shared a screenshot of RealClearPolitics' latest polling average, which pegs Trump's net approval rating at -17, with 39.9% of the public indicating that they approve of his performance in office and 56.9% indicating they disapprove. The President could fish or cut bait on Iran and bring some resolution there to help the economy But he won't, mused Erickson."
"The President could end all his tariffs to stimulate the economy. But he's been convinced by people infatuated with the 1950's that they work. They don't. So the GOP will head to the midterms in this environment, he concluded. The President could fish or cut bait on Iran and bring some resolution there to help the economy. But he won't. The President could end all his tariffs to stimulate the economy. But he's been convinced by people infatuated with the 1950's that they work. They don't."
"For Republicans, a New York Times/Siena College poll published on Monday set off no shortage of alarm bells. Asked whether they'd likely back the Republican or Democratic candidate if the midterms were held today, just 39% said the former. Fifty percent, meanwhile, indicated they'd back the Democrat. The Times/Siena poll also suggested that Trump's unpopularity could prove a major problem for the GOP, measuring his net approval rating at a staggering -22 points (37%-59%)."
"Still, Trump's team has signaled that their plan is to draw a contrast with the opposition, rather than backtrack. The Democrats will have to convince the electorate how they're going to make their lives more affordable when they tried to raise taxes on 90 percent of Americans by $4 trillion last summer. They are all on the record for tax hikes. They've opposed every single tax cut"
