Trump is not winning anything. The majority in this poll say he's messing up the federal government.

New poll shows what Americans really think of Trump's leadership – and personality

A recent Pew Research Center poll – which nationally surveyed 3,554 US adults between August 4 to 10 – found that a majority of Americans hold negative views on Trump's controversial tariffs and "Big, Beautiful Bill," and 53% say he is making the federal government function less effectively.

The poll also found that approval of Trump's job performance as president has slipped, even among MAGA supporters, along with how Americans perceive aspects of his personality.

While most agreed that Trump "stands up for what he believes in" (68%), the majority also believes he is not mentally sharp (51%), doesn't keep his promises (56%), doesn't care about the needs of ordinary people (63%), is not honest (63%), and is not a good role model (70%).

The poll was taken after Trump reached the sixth month mark of his second term. Despite being inundated with countless controversies and scandals and steadily falling poll numbers, Trump has insisted that the period has established him as the greatest leader of all time, and claimed he is overwhelmingly loved by the American people.

Yes, he's starting to hurt the more moderate magats, those who were warned and should have known better.

The tariffs have worked their way through supply chains and newly-ordered inventories are in.

No predictions here, but I don't know how this doesn't hit over the next month or two. The numbers coming in look anywhere from bad to very bad. Either American companies take a massive hit to earnings or they pass at least some of it on.

There are only so many moving parts here.

Ruh-roh......Mr. "I can't add 15 and 15" is looking at numbers again.
