Nine or 10 months ago, voters “thought the GOP and President Trump were the better ones to handle those two issues,” said Scott Tranter, DDHQ’s director of data science, referring to economy and immigration.
“Now, at best, the voters are mixed, if not negative, on the president [and] the GOP handling those top two issues,” he added.
Still, recent polling has painted an alarming picture for Trump. A Fox News poll released last week found that 38 percent of respondents approved of the way Trump handled the economy, including only a quarter of independent respondents. The poll also found 35 percent of respondents approved of his handling of tariffs, and 34 percent approved of his handling of health care.
The numbers could rebound, of course, and the recent shooting of two National Guard soldiers has put renewed scrutiny on the country’s immigration policies after authorities said the suspect was an Afghan national who had come to the U.S. under a Biden-era resettlement program.
