President Donald Trump has sunk to the worst net approval rating among independent voters ever recorded for a president at this stage of a second term, falling nine points below Richard Nixon's standing at the height of the Watergate scandal, according to a CNN data analysis.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten posted the findings on X, writing that Trump's net approval among independent voters had reached -45 points, surpassing the historic lows set by both Nixon (-36 points) and George W. Bush (-37 points) at comparable points in their second terms.
The analysis landed alongside a wave of concurrent polling that collectively painted one of the bleakest pictures of any second-term president in the modern era, with Trump's overall job approval sinking to 33%
Meanwhile, the tourism 'Trump slump' continues to cost the US tens of billions in lost revenue as Canadians and other countries, chose not to travel to Trumps USA as a tourist destination.
Can't say as I blame them.
The world is a far more dangerous place, with Trump running amok.
