You whine about reputable, corroborative surveys, yet have no alternatives to offer.
/——/ Reputable polls of likely voters are expensive and time consuming. No one is going to do them this far out from the midterms. News outlets run cheap, fast polls to generate news headlines.
Maybe because Biden kept Trump's China tariffs in place.....he added a couple.
He didn't have federal district judges blocking his every move did he?

Methodology: This ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll was conducted online via the probability-based Ipsos KnowledgePanel® April 18-22, 2025, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 2,464 adults. Partisan divisions are 30%-30%-29%, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
1. Random adults include tourists, illegal immigrants, those who never vote, and those who can't vote. Completely meaningless.
2. "30%-30%-29%, Democrats-Republicans-independents."
Your poll underrepresented all three parties, making it an inaccurate poll.
The actual breakout of party affiliation is about two-thirds of registered voters identify as a partisan, and they are roughly evenly split between those who say they are Republicans (32% of voters) and those who say they are Democrats (33%). Roughly a third instead say they are independents or something else (35%), with most of these voters leaning toward one of the parties. Partisan leaners often share the same political views and behaviors as those who directly identify with the party they favor.
1. The partisanship and ideology of American voters
Registered voters are evenly split between the two parties: 49% are Democrats or lean Democratic, 48% are Republicans or lean to the GOP.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. At the end of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days, there were a number of polls that came out. Most of them were liberal and most of them were negative.
And as we mentioned and have mentioned in the past, some of them who have a much more reliable history—such as the Rasmussen poll, the Insider Advantage poll, the Trafalgar poll—they all had Donald Trump, at the end of 100 days, with either roughly 50-50 approval ratings or even slightly above that, 48-46, 50-49.
But my point is, in one of the daily Rasmussen polls, they had an astonishing figure, that they broke down Donald Trump’s support by ethnic category.
And there were 39% of black Americans that expressed support for Donald Trump. That’s an astonishing number. Given that 95% of the news coverage, according to the Media Research Center, has been negative. And yet here is a traditional Democratic constituency where 4 out of 10 people like what’s been going on.
But even more astonishing is the ethnic constituency that expressed the highest approval of Donald Trump’s first 100 days was the Hispanic community. In fact, far above the so-called white community.
_____________________
And why would so-called white people poll much more negatively against Trump’s first 100 days than Hispanics? It’s because the white elite had created an agenda under the Biden and Obama administration that was elitist.
By that I mean—let’s face it—Sen. Bernie Sanders had to take out the word “millionaires” from his usual castigation of millionaires and billionaires. And it wasn’t just because he’s a millionaire now. That is the trademark of the professional bicoastal classes. And they’re interested in issues that are not existential—at least not everyday existential. By that I mean global warming, the Green New Deal, transgendered men in women’s sports, international organizations—the U.N.

Most Americans Think the United States Should Pursue Global Free Trade
The economic policies and market turmoil of the first three months of the Trump administration have had a notable effect on American views of trade. A joint Chicago Council on Global Affairs-Ipsos poll fielded April 18–20, 2025, shows most Americans view international trade positively, and a majority now favor global free trade rather than seeking economic self-sufficiency. Large majorities across party lines also say international commerce not only leaves consumers better off but also fosters domestic job creation.

Large majorities across party lines also say international commerce not only leaves consumers better off but also fosters domestic job creation.
The New York Post headline put it this way: “President Trump battered by brutal polls that show his approval sinking — including one revealing the lowest ratings since World War II.” Go down the list — a New York Times poll had Trump’s job approval at 42%; a CBS News poll had the number at 45%; a Rasmussen poll had Trump at 47%; an Economist-YouGov poll had Trump at 44%; and a Fox News poll had Trump at 44%.
That’s not great, but where did they get the “lowest ratings since World War II” thing? That came from a Washington Post poll, which, like some others, found Trump at 42% approval among registered voters. But the Washington Post also released a finding showing Trump at 39% among all adults, including those who don’t care enough to vote even in hotly contested elections.
Thirty-nine percent! That’s the headline! To reach this result, the Washington Post pollsters surveyed 848 people who said they voted for then-Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, and then 842 people who said they voted for Trump, and then 729 people who said they did not vote. Now, it seems odd to survey more people who voted for Harris than Trump, because you might recall that Trump received more votes than Harris. Presumably, the Washington Post then adjusted the totals to reflect the actual 2024 results. But then there is turnout — in 2024, it was 64%, the second-highest of any presidential election ever. People who did not vote, or even register to vote, really did not give a damn about the election. The Washington Post included a lot of them in the 39% mark that has gotten the commentators so excited.
But put aside arguments over specific polls. There’s no doubt that Trump’s job approval number has declined over the first 100 days. Back in January, after a week in office, Trump’s approval stood at 50.5% in the RealClearPolitics average of polls. Now, it’s at 45.3% in the same average, for a decline of about 5 points.
_______________
What does that mean? First of all, remember that a majority of the country almost always says the country is going in the wrong direction. That’s just the way it is. So when even 40% say it is going in the right direction, that’s pretty good. “If that doesn’t seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you’ve got to go back to 2012,” MSNBC analyst Steve Kornacki said in March, when an NBC poll showed 44% saying the country was going in the right direction.
There are a few more results that suggest where things stand with voters. For all its problems, the Washington Post poll did ask some good questions, among them: “Overall, who do you trust to do a better job handling the country’s main problems — Trump or the Democrats in Congress?” Among registered voters, 40% said Trump, while 32% said Democrats in Congress. The Washington Post also asked, “Do you think Trump is in touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today, or is he out of touch?” Again among registered voters, 42% said Trump was in touch. When the Washington Post asked the same question about the Democratic Party, 29% said Democrats were in touch. (The number for the Republican Party was 38%.)
So, where do things stand? Obviously, Trump is less popular now than he was 100 days ago. The biggest factor in that is his still-evolving tariff policy, which has created a lot of — that dread word — uncertainty across the economic spectrum. The stock market has reacted badly, almost hysterically, so the 60-plus percent of Americans who own stocks in some form are not happy with that. Much of the rest of tariff mania is prospective — that is, it is angst over changes that are predicted to come if Trump does A, or does B, or does C. It hasn’t actually happened yet — prices haven’t shot up and the shelves aren’t empty — but all the talk has put people in a bad mood.
How to measure Trump’s 100 days?
Are there any other measures of Trump's performance than job approval numbers? One place to look is what pollsters call the right-track-wrong-track question.

Boo......................for you:
PHILADELPHIA—Elijah Rios won’t graduate from high school until next year, but he already has a job offer—one that pays $68,000 a year.
Rios, 17 years old, is a junior taking welding classes at Father Judge, a Catholic high school in Philadelphia that works closely with companies looking for workers in the skilled trades. Employers are dealing with a shortage of such workers as baby boomers retire. They have increasingly begun courting high-school students like Rios—a hiring strategy they say is likely to become even more crucial in the coming years.
Employers ranging from the local transit system to submarine manufacturers make regular visits to Father Judge’s welding classrooms every year, bringing branded swag and pitching students on their workplaces. When Rios graduates next year, he plans to work as a fabricator at a local equipment maker for nuclear, recycling and other sectors, a job that pays $24 an hour, plus regular overtime and paid vacations.
“Sometimes it’s a little overwhelming—like, this company wants you, that company wants you,” says Rios, who grew up in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Kensington around drug addicts and homelessness, and says he was determined to build a better life for himself. “It honestly feels like I’m an athlete getting all this attention from all these pro teams.”
Increased efforts to recruit high-schoolers into professions such as plumbing, electrical work and welding have helped spur a revitalization of shop classes in many districts. More businesses are teaming up with high schools to enable students to work part-time, earning money as well as academic credit. More employers are showing up at high school career days and turning to creative recruiting strategies, as well.
Employers say that as the skilled trades become more tech-infused, they anticipate doing even more recruitment at an early age, because they need workers who are comfortable programming and running computer diagnostics. “I’m not looking to hire the guy I used to have 20 years ago,” says Bob Walker, founder of Global Affinity, the Bristol, Pa.-based manufacturer who offered Rios a job. The equipment he uses is highly advanced, including a $1.7 million steel laser cutter, and he says he needs tech-savvy workers to operate it.
