Trump approval is 40% vs 56% disapprove among all adults, with 42% saying they "strongly disapprove" of the job he has done as POTUS. Notable that the strong disapprove response is higher than the cumulative approve response.
Broken down by issue, U.S. adults are upset at... well pretty much everything. Trump is particularly underwater on inflation (31% approve) and the economy (38% approve).
Trump's only net positive issue is border security, at +10. Immigration in general is -2.
In our new Strength In Numbers/Verasight survey, Democrats currently lead on the generic ballot for U.S. House races by 6 percentage points, 47% to 41%.
It's early for this to be predictive of next Nov's elections, but it is useful to track to see how people feel about the job Congress is doing.
Yet despite strong Dem numbers on the generic ballot, and bad Trump marks on the economy, trust in each party to handle the most important issues is very close. Republicans tie Democrats on which party is trusted more to handle inflation and the economy. Worset GOP # in years.
Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.
On the current GOP budget proposal in Congress, 58% of Americans would rather see higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy than cut spending (14%). 10% say they'd rather keep spending high and also cut taxes—which we told them would increase the deficit, and they didn't care.
Finally, our subscriber question for this poll: Who would win the 2024 election if people were allowed to revote?
Including 2024 non-voters, Harris leads 47-42 in a do-over. Limited to 2024 voters, both candidates are tied at 43%.
