"President Trump has potentially never been less popular than he is right now, the day that 3rd quarter GDP blew by expectations at 4.3% growth, the strongest quarterly figure in two years. A recent Gallup poll taken from December 1st to the 15th pegged Trump at 36% approval, nearly his lowest Gallup figure ever, second only to a poll taken from January 4th to 15th in 2021 that had him at 34%."
"Between putting the gestapo on American streets and disappearing people to foreign gulags, giving the gilded elite some more historic tax cuts, putting a crank in charge of HHS and destroying the foundation of American science, taking people's healthcare away and enacting debunked 19th century economics, Trump has done most of what he promised to do this year, and it has led to a world where Congressional Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene are fleeing for the exits ahead of their 2026 elections."
Third quarter GDP rose 4.3%, the strongest quarterly growth in two years. A Gallup poll from December 1–15 placed Trump's approval at 36%, near his lowest level. Trump enacted an agenda often at odds with the Constitution beyond Article II powers, including expanded law-enforcement tactics, offshore detentions, large tax cuts for the wealthy, controversial HHS leadership, and actions weakening scientific institutions and healthcare access. These policies produced elite support while alarming much of the populace. Congressional Republicans such as Marjorie Taylor Greene are distancing themselves ahead of 2026 elections. Public economic sentiment is worsening even as measured growth accelerates, creating a diverging political dynamic.
