Trump's approval rating has plummeted
A recent poll shows that President Donald Trump is losing the support of the largest unofficial political party in the United States, independent voters.
The latest top survey found that 57% of all Americans now disapprove of Trump's performance, a record low for his second term.
Trump's approval could, in all fairness, be said to be at its lowest point in either of his two terms.
His net approval rating of minus 18 points is the second lowest ever recorded for him, and many pollsters disregard the accuracy of a minus 21 approval rating recorded in November 2017.
I think there's so much going on that it's really hard to even start, but one of the biggest things is he just keeps skirting the line of what's appropriate and every single time that he gets closer to that line, getting towards inappropriate, he's just getting so close.
And everyone knows the game that he's playing, and the game that he's playing is, how much can I get away with?
And nobody likes that.

I didn't approve of him when he came in for the second term.
But certainly his attacks on our freedoms, attacking organizations like this, who are standing up and speaking against him.
And, of course, what he's doing under the guise of undocumented immigration, detaining people without cause and all the rhetoric.

Trump's low approval rating is also being attributed to the recent assassination of an Islamophobic but very popular right-wing commentator, which many are calling a watershed moment in the increasingly violent American politics.
The Assassination has led to increased calls for anti-Trump protesters to be stopped, arrested, investigated, and even deported. That has many accusing the administration of using McCarthy-like tactics to silence freedom of speech.
I think a lot of people are afraid to come out.
You oppose Trump, you get knocked out of office, or you oppose Trump, and you get a pizza sent to your house saying, I know where you and your wife and your kids live.
You know it's just, it's just total dictatorship.

Despite being the richest country in the world, inequality in America is so rampant that a recent study found that 67% of workers live paycheck to paycheck. That's an almost 7% increase since just last year, and the poll only represents people who are employed.
Last week, jobless claims hit a four-year high. Polls show that price inflation and jobs are the two most important issues for voters.
