"“Highest disapproval on gas prices. Look at this: President Trump, 79%! Seventy-nine percent of Americans disapprove of him on gas prices! Look, the rest of them you see across the board, also reached the 70s, but never this high,” Enten said, emphasizing that the level of negative sentiment toward Trump on gasoline costs surpassed prior presidents’ peaks."
"“This is a record high, in terms of looking back at every single president this century,” Enten continued. “Again, President Trump is breaking records across the political map. But on this one, he is also doing so, and in a way, you simply put, don't want to be breaking records.”"
"“We get the rare trifecta. The rare trifecta. Ooh, ooh! It's scary if you're a Republican these days looking at these numbers, because take a look at this. Disapprove on gas prices. Look at this, 97% of Democrats, not so much of a surprise. Enten then exclaimed, 85% of independents!”"
"“And then look at this: 52% of Republican,” Enten said, pointing to substantial disapproval among Republicans as well, alongside very high disapproval among Democrats and independents."
Gas prices average $4.53 per gallon nationwide, up from $2.98 before the war with Iran. Trump planned to suspend the 18-cent federal gas tax temporarily until prices fall, but public opinion did not shift. Disapproval of Trump on gas prices reached 79%, the highest level recorded for any president on this issue in the 21st century. Other presidents’ disapproval levels were in the 70s, but none matched this peak. Partisan results show 97% disapproval among Democrats, 85% among independents, and 52% among Republicans, creating a rare broad-based backlash.
