"New polls show Trump’s approval rating sinking lower, weakening his power"...
...from the attached article...
--------------------
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found Trump’s backing down to just 42%, while just 37% support his handling of the economy.
The latest Pew Research Center poll found Trump’s approval rating down to 40%. It also found him underwater on every major policy area. What’s more, the Pew survey found the president’s support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents down to 75% — noticeably lower than Joe Biden’s 93% support among Democrats and
Democratic-leaning independents at this point four years ago.
The latest poll by The Economist/YouGov found Trump’s approval rating down to 41%. It also showed him underwater on every issue.
The latest Fox News poll showed Trump with a 44% approval rating — down 5 points from March — and he’s underwater on nearly every issue. On the economy, his support is down to 38%, while on tariffs and inflation, the president’s support is down to 33%.

While Trump is a Lame Duck President...GOP members of the House and Senate aren't, and if they want to be re-elected, they'll have to decide whether or not to support his programs and policies very soon, or have a millstone around their necks when the 2026 campaigns get rolling in less than a year.

You seem to forget that Trump loves being unpopular.
A malignant narcissist will take any public acknowledgement that he is important.
It's ATTENTION that he craves.
He was lambasted for decades in NYC tabloids and he glorified in it.
"Trump goes after Fox News for highlighting his cratering economic approval ratings"...
It doesn't look as though DJT is 'Craving' those Poll numbers...at least to me it doesn't.
...here's an excerpt from the attached article...
----------------------
The president took aim at Rupert Murdoch and two of his media holdings on Thursday after Fox News published a poll highlighting Americans’ concerns about inflation and economic uncertainty resulting from Trump’s chaotic tariff rollout.
In a late morning Truth Social post, the president burned Murdoch, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal, saying that the nonagenarian media mogul “has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so.”
“This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years,” the president wrote. “Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”
The president’s tirade appeared to be in response to Fox’s on-air coverage of its Wednesday poll, which looked at American attitudes towards Trump as he approaches 100 days in office. Fox News did not respond to a request for comment.
Shortly before the president posted to his social media platform, Fox News senior national correspondent Rich Edson appeared on the network’s 9 am broadcast, “America’s Newsroom,” telling co-hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer that the poll shows American voters are “skeptical” of Trump’s tariff policy.
During the same hour, Perino and Hemmer sat down with Harold Ford Jr., a co-host of “The Five,” who said that while Trump may believe the tariffs are empowering, the reality has been “angst and anxiety amongst a lot of small business, and we still don’t have trade deals yet.”

See! And he gets coverage for his ranting.. which is ALL he cares about.
When a person's inner self feels empty, he or she seek our any kind of external feedback.
Trump desperately needs public affirmation that he exists.... even if it is negative.
To a degree this is true of all politicians... but Donald is particularly disturbed.
You seem to have missed the last two paragraphs of the article...and my point...
...here are those final paragraphs...
----------------------
If the public really were rallying behind Trump and he really did enjoy 70% support, Republican lawmakers might be that much more inclined to follow his lead, while Democratic lawmakers in competitive districts would be that much less inclined to put up a fight against the White House agenda.
But with Americans expressing their increasingly unambiguous dissatisfaction with Trump, it effectively creates a permission structure for Congress to defy the president’s wishes. In other words, the more voters turn against Trump, the harder it becomes for him to get his way — which helps explain why he and his allies are scrambling to create an alternate reality in which his support is “soaring” and “skyrocketing,” while his approval rating is in “the high 70s.”

Remember that DJT got CONVICTED of a Felony...in New York...for trying to avoid the Stormy Daniels 'Attention'...this polling is not the same as TV ratings.
I always miss everything in any Rachael Maddow link... because I never open them.
I'd be surprised if anyone here does.
When you say "Anyone Here", you're really just talking about the Trump supporters...there are more
than a couple who aren't...and none of them have any loyalty to a Convicted Felon...Serial Fraud...Serial Sexual Assaulter...Serial Business Failure...Constant Liar...and Sociopathic Malignant Narcissist who is owned by our nation's worst enemy, Vladimir Putin.
Just keep that in mind.
But China loves Trump!
