Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump’s approval ratings have been in negative territory for months, despite his claims of “strong and powerful” leadership. His team is now focusing on the economy and affordability, with a slide presentation emphasizing the need to spotlight efforts on easing affordability. The president’s popularity among Republicans remains high, and the GOP sees him as their “secret weapon” to energize their base ahead of the midterms. The president’s State of the Union address comes with just over eight months to go until the elections. Trump’s approval ratings on the economy are slightly lower than his overall approval ratings. The president’s team is deploying every resource necessary to win the midterms and protect their majorities.
