How bad are Trump’s approval numbers and what new polls just dropped?
It gets even worse for Donald Trump. As I previously reported, Donald Trump's net approval is the worst in presidential history. So how does it get worse? Well, he beats his own record. He gets more bad polls, the least popular ever, and there were three new polls that just dropped. One from Washington Post, one from Politico, and one from state regime media, which calls itself Fox. And on Fox, they said, uh... Don't know how else to really say this, but this is really, really bad for Republicans. And the data from Fox shows in a generic matchup for the midterms, Democrats are also surging ahead right now as Donald Trump gets us deeper and deeper into this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Let's go through this polling data right now.
Washington Post, the percentage of Americans who say it's worth fighting, only 28%. Not worth fighting, 68%. How about the share of MAGA voters who think the war is worth the economic cost? These are MAGA voters. Hard core MAGA voters that fell from 50% in May to 37% in July in the latest polling. So the share of MAGA voters who think the war is worth the economic cost fell from 50% in May to 37% in July. While more now say the U.S. should only stay involved if costs don't rise further or end the war altogether. We're talking about some of Donald Trump's most hardcore supporters. Let's take a look at what they just said on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, Brit Yume, Bret Baier. They are panicking right now.
Let's play this clip.
You look at our polls and you look at the condition of the economy, and this is the one for midterms we look at closely, and that is excellent or good, 24%, only fair or poor, 76%. And that has got to have Republicans, Senate and House, concerned. Absolutely, Brad. And the truth is there's not much good news for Republicans in this whole poll we did. Underwater on the economy, as you showed. Underwater on affordability. Those two issues are front and center for sure. Republicans have a little bit of a lead on national security and, I guess, law enforcement. Everywhere you look, Republicans are down. Now, there is a bit of good news. You mentioned the redistricting will help them with seats in the House, and they will probably need every one of them they can get from that.
Now, while they're doing that, Donald Trump was posting photos of himself looking like the deranged lunatic piece of trash, human walking piece of trash that he is. Donald Trump posts, Trump orders CENTCOM to open the gates of hell after US troop killed, launches strikes on Iran, to which the Houthis immediately responded by striking Saudi Arabian tankers. And then in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranians responded by striking a tanker there and having others turn around. And as Decoding Fox News, hat tip to Decoding Fox News, want to give a hat tip to her, support her work. She's got a great sub stack also at Decoding Fox News. The folks at Fox News are openly criticizing Trump's war in Iran. They explain at Decoding Fox News.
They know he watches it all day long. So here's what they're saying. Let's take a look. Let's play it. Nine straight days. They're really hitting Kuwait hard and they're hitting Bahrain.
But Jordan is the biggest surprise.
Yes, yes.
We gotta get missile defense there. Simple as that. But I do expect that we're gonna be there a long time. Operation Northern Southern Watch went on for almost 20 years, I think.
So one of the things that's really alarming right now is that those strikes on Jordan were pretty advanced weapons. And we certainly felt like a lot of the strikes previously had taken out their a lot of their missile capabilities. So that is definitely alarming. We have to do Mark Warner's right. Bombing along may not work. We do not nor have we ever controlled the Straits of Hormuz.
What do Washington Post-Ipsos polls reveal about public support for the Iran war?
Because there aren't too many approaches. There aren't too many choices left available. Unfortunately, once you've started something like this, the way you finish it is with American ground troops. And we're saddened and disgusted to hear about those newly minted gold star families.
