60% Disapprove of Trump

As President Donald Trump prepares to address the nation Tuesday evening, Americans remain generally sour about his performance, with majorities disapproving of his handling of priority initiatives while saying he has overreached the authority of his office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The presidents approval rating stands at 39 percent positive and 60 percent negative, including 47 percent who say they strongly disapprove. The last time Trumps disapproval touched 60 percent was shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

I wish people would take this seriously. It's a messaging issue, and solving it is very doable.
