“The president’s approval rating stands at 39 percent positive and 60 percent negative, including 47 percent who say they strongly disapprove. The last time Trump’s disapproval touched 60 percent was shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.”

It's encouraging to me that the last time it was this low was right after January 6. Let's hope it keeps going downhill, and that more MAGA wake up and smell the coffee. We have some midterms to win!
