A professor and political analyst signaled on Monday that President Donald Trump's slipping political support will not rebound — and that it's over for him.

In an opinion piece for The Hill, John Kenneth White, professor emeritus at The Catholic University of America and author of "Grand Old Unraveling: The Republican Party, Donald Trump, and the Rise of Authoritarianism,” described just why Trump's reign has hit its limit. White outlined how Trump's promises to the American people have completely gone by the wayside as he "started a war of choice with Iran" while the economy plummets and inflation rises, harsh immigration policies that deport people indiscriminately, and his sinking approval ratings.

"But Donald Trump is governing without the consent of the governed," White wrote. "Most polls show Trump’s approval hovering around the 40 percent mark. But behind these numbers is a presidency in distress. On handling inflation and the cost of living and immigration — issues that matter to voters — Trump has dismal scores."...

CNN's Harry Enten was astounded Friday when he revealed how recent polling results show just how much President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted.

Enten pointed out that Trump has maintained a consistent slump for almost a year, putting him and the Republican Party in a tough spot ahead of the midterm elections.

"I think it's so important to note when you look at Trump's net approval rating," Enten said. "It's been negative in the recent polling, but it just hasn't been the recent polling. Look at this, look at how long his approval rating has been negative. It's been nearly a year. We're talking over 345 days in the red. And with independents, it's even been worse. I mean, overall approval rating has been between -10 and -20 points. The past few polls, if you take an average of them, but if you look among independents, he's been floating at about -30 points. Oftentimes, the numbers with independents have been absolutely awful, and I'm just not quite sure how an administration can be politically alive when you have numbers that are that poor."...

Vice President JD Vance had to face a reality check from an unlikely source Wednesday — Fox News.

Vance was talking to anchor Bill Hemmer following President Donald Trump's rambling and record-breaking State of the Union speech, when Hemmer asked him several pointed questions about dismal polling results showing Americans' dissatisfaction with the economy, The Daily Beast reported.

Hemmer pointed to how the topic was an “issue that might clip” Republicans just months away from midterms. He referred to a Fox News poll conducted from Jan. 23–26 that revealed just 40 percent approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 59 percent disapprove, according to The Beast. ...

A Republican lawmaker got some pushback from a CNN anchor Friday over claims that the economy was improving — despite recent polling that voters feel otherwise and President Donald Trump's plummeting approval rating.

Rep. Mark Haridopolos (R-FL) attempted to argue that things were better in the United States today than they were a year ago — and that's when CNN's Jim Sciutto pushed back.

"We think our good policies, which are moving the economy forward, are making results," Haridopolos said. "And people will decide about a year from now, what's the better direction, the current economic direction or going back to Joe Biden 2.0?"...

Online reactions rolled in Friday after news that President Donald Trump's foreign policy approval rating had sunk to its lowest yet.

A new Marist poll found that only 37% of adults in the United States approve of how Trump has handled foreign policy, Newsweek reported. The results were gathered from January 12 to 13 and showed that 56% of those polled disapproved of Trump's international actions, while 7% were unsure.

Users on social media had thoughts about the polling results and Trump's policies abroad. ...

A new poll shows that President Donald Trump's approval rating on his handling of foreign policy has dipped to its lowest since he returned to the White House, according to reports Friday.

A new Marist poll found that only 37% of adults in the United States approve of how Trump has handled foreign policy, Newsweek reported. The results were gathered from January 12 to 13 and showed that 56% of those polled disapproved of Trump's international actions, while 7% were unsure.

The changes in Trump's international policy approval highlighted how Americans have responded to the capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and the military incursion of that country, and Trump's continued threats to seize Greenland — signaling a major challenge for the Trump administration and growing concern among voters. Trump's moves could put the Republican Party in a tough spot ahead of the midterms in November. ...
