Dear john,
A new Yahoo/YouGov poll was published this week on President Trump and the American people are frustrated. According to the poll, Trump’s overall approval rating currently sits at 38% approve, 59% disapprove.
You can read the poll here or read some of its highlights below:
- 80% of respondents say gas prices are too high, including 71% of Republicans.
- 60% say Trump "deserves the most blame for this" compared to Iran (13%) or oil companies (12%). This comes as the El Paso Times reports that gas prices in El Paso are among the highest in the state.
- 66% disapprove of how the president is handling gas prices
- 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, where as only 32% approve. Yahoo and YouGov this is the lowest approval rating for the economy for Trump ever.
- 61% say inflation is getting worse; just 16% say it’s getting better
