- The way Trump is performing

He's going to become a Lame Duck President next November when he loses the Mid-Terms.

He's so far under water now, you can't see the bubbles.

"Democrats hold a 5-point advantage over Republicans in who registered voters say they would vote for in their district if elections for Congress were being held today (44% vs. 39%)

40% of U.S. adult citizens strongly or somewhat approve of Donald Trump's job performance and 56% disapprove
The 56% who disapprove of Trump's job performance is the highest share to do so in Trump's second term
Trump's net approval rating (the share who approve minus the share who disapprove) is -16, also the worst of his second term
The -16 net approval rating is worse than Trump's net approval in all but five of the 208 weeks in his first term

;;

Twice as many Americans strongly disapprove of Trump's job performance as strongly approve (47%, a new high level for his second term, vs. 23%)

Trump has hit a new second-term low in net approval among Americans who lean toward neither party: 68% of this group disapproves of Trump's job performance and 20% approve, a net approval of -49

;;

Far more Americans disapprove than approve of how Trump is handling jobs and the economy (53% vs. 39%)
This is a net approval on the issue of -14, the lowest net approval on the economy in Trump's second term
The -14 net approval on Trump's handling of jobs and the economy is also far worse than Trump received at any time during his first term
