Donald Trump's approval is crashing in Georgia.
as MAGA Republicans are imploding on the hill as well. You take a look at Donald Trump's net approval rating in some key states and you look in Georgia, for example, negative 13% according to one poll, another one has him at negative 4%. And the issues dominating the national headlines are the reasons why Donald Trump's approval is plummeting. It's promises made and total fraud that has been executed on the American people and the people of Georgia. Donald Trump ran on a lot of things, but he claimed he was going to bring down prices. We know that's not the case. The only thing he's bringing is taking away people's health care at this point. Let's just take a look at Georgia, for example, about what's going on with their Affordable Care Act subsidies and the fact that it's not being extended by Donald Trump and these MAGA Republicans and what it means to the people there.
Let's play
Georgians are seeing the new cost of insurance now that those federal subsidies are ending. Georgia's insurance commissioner spoke one-on-one today with Channel 2 consumer investigator Justin Gray about what people can do now to find the best price. Justin is live tonight at the insurance commissioner's office in downtown Atlanta. Yeah, Linda, in 2025, 60% of Georgians on the exchange auto-enrolled instead of shopping for new coverage.
What is the current approval rating of Donald Trump in Georgia?
Now, Commissioner King and his staff here, they say that with the ACA subsidies expiring, it is essential to shop around, to look at different plans. There might be another plan on the exchange that offers you a better price. Her premium was $47.42. But without the expiring Federal Affordable Care Act subsidies, Ursula Fulgham's daughter Amy's coverage will cost seven times more a month. When I saw the new rates, I'm going campy. $398.10 from $47.42. Amy is battling brain cancer, glioblastoma. Her 82-year-old mother, now also her caregiver. It's a must.
How about Georgia farmers? Here's what they're experiencing.
Georgia's number one industry, which is agriculture, is getting a major federal boost. The Trump administration has announced a $12 billion farm aid package. Georgia leaders say it could help stabilize farms, but critics argue the plan leaves too many other farmers behind. Atlanta News First reporter Abby Caceres explains what all this means for families across the state. This is being framed as a lifeline for farm families. Farmers I spoke with wouldn't go on camera. They say they're still unsure how to feel as uncertainty still hangs over the industry. From corn in South Georgia to cotton across the plains, agriculture fuels one in seven Georgia jobs. Now billions in federal dollars are headed to farmers.
Money state leaders say is overdue. Where a lot of our farm families have run out of equity, they've run out of ways to stretch that dollar thin.
How are Georgia voters reacting to Trump's policies?
Georgia's Ag Commissioner Tyler Harper stresses urgency. Input costs keep climbing. Row crop season is ending and farmers are already making decisions for next year. The American Bankers Association reports half of U.S. farms will profit this year.
Then of course, two weeks back, there was that big flip in Georgia's House District 121, going to a Democratic candidate there who had previously lost just the year before by about like 40 points. The Democrat flipped it and won that House District. I want to bring in Georgia's Senator Raphael Warnock. Senator Warnock, it's great to be with you. And I want to talk about all of those things that we just mentioned. But the first thing I want to talk is just about the character in the Oval Office, because I think a lot of people saw Donald Trump's Oval Office address, or it wasn't Oval Office, the address in the White House, wherever it was, and they looked at that and they said, what in the world is, what was that?
The lies, the anger, the venom, you know, and then the Daily Post that people wake up just saying,
