Some hopeful polling 3/1/25

According to February Gallup polling, 42 percent of Americans are giving a thumbs-up to Trump’s economic stewardship while 54 percent are giving him a thumbs-down.

Approval of Trump’s handling of the economy also fell to 39 percent from 43 percent in polling released last week by Reuters/Ipsos.

This is notably a lower mark compared to the start of Trump’s first term in 2017, when his economic approval rating stood at 53 percent. While this could reflect less enthusiasm about the economy more generally, it is also a notable thing to watch for the president’s team.

People, especially young people, are taking note of the disastrous economy. Their approval of the economy is down 12%, according to Gallup, and down to 39% (from 43%) from Reuters.

The MSNBC guest said he thinks that right now people are willing to give him a little time to see if he can reverse the trend (although everything he is doing is designed to exacerbate the trend.)

I'm humming a happy tune: "I saw the light, I saw the light, no more darkness..." A gospel song heralding in the gospel of awareness.
