How would you sum up your feelings about Trump's second term so far, in one word?

Excellent.

Horrible.

Embarrassing.

Terrifying.

Today, in a major new poll, The New York Times asked voters what they thought of the first eight months of President Trump's second term.

The economy, for the prices, they're starting to come down.

I wish they'd come down more.

It's a period that's seen sweeping policy changes that have left little of the country untouched.

Maybe generally I wish I hadn't voted for him.

My colleague Nate Cohn explains what the survey found and what it may tell us about where the country is heading next.

It's Tuesday, September 30th.

Nate, I've been really looking forward to talking to you because so much has happened over the past several months since you were last on the show.

We've had record tariffs, immigration raids, the National Guard in American cities, this massive domestic policy bill passed.

There's been an ongoing retribution campaign against Trump's enemies and a wave of political violence.

It has honestly been a lot.

And here we are, flying blind, no pull to sort it all out.

Top line, what did you find?

Okay, that is not what I was expecting.
