"A new Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating falling to its lowest level, apparently because of prices and the Epstein files, Varney began, adding: His approval rating sits at 39% [should be 38%], down nine points from when he took office."
"I'm not too concerned about that right now. I know the president is focused on affordability. We are on Capitol Hill. There's a lot of damage we had to unwind from the Biden administration, where we had double-digit inflation for multiple years. It's created many problems. Our agenda, the president's agenda, which we passed in July, is going to start eking into our economy as well."
"People are going to be able to keep more of their money: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. That's stuff that we passed to get the president's agenda done. Some of the investment dollars, about 100% expensingthat's going to have businesses with more dollars in their pocket to deploy into our economy."
A Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating at about 38–39%, down nine points from inauguration and marking the lowest level this term. Affordability and the Epstein files are cited as apparent drivers of the decline. Republican messaging emphasizes enacted measures — including removal of taxes on tips and overtime, near-100% expensing for business investment, and other July-passed provisions — to allow people and businesses to keep more money and help lower costs. Officials point to prior double-digit inflation as creating damage the current agenda seeks to unwind. Questions remain whether the messaging has yet translated into improved approval, and reactions included surprise that a recent shutdown episode was framed as a Democratic win.
