Disapproval rose to 62%, the worst of his two terms in office, amid economic issues since launching his war against Iran

Six months out from November’s midterm US elections, Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 62% – the worst of his two terms in office – according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

The US president received his worst ratings on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Trump achieved majority disapproval on his management of every issue measured, including Americans disapproved of his handling of that war by 66% to 32%, while a staggering 76% disapproved and only 23% approved of his handling of the cost of living. Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

    It’s not really that.

    What I was talking about is I’ve amassed a huge amount of random knowledge. If I said:

    With 15 minutes of training a human can identify party affiliation with 70% accuracy which lines up with 30% non-voters to a 100% success rate

    Someone is gonna chirp up that in election year ____ there was only 28% non-voters so all that literal scientific research that happened is a moot point.

    Shit like that gets tiresome. Especially when everyone assumes the only way someone would know stuff like that, is if they looked it up 2 seconds ago and have a handy source.
