Within the new polling from the Washington Post and ABC, 48% of respondents said they are financially worse off than when Trump returned to office in 2025.
According to the Post, that represents the highest percentage saying this about any president in this series of polls since 1986.
A majority of those surveyed – 67%– also said that Trump is not committed to protecting freedom of the press. This comes after a protracted battle to ban CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House grounds. A federal judge has subsequently issued a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from enforcing the ban.
Meanwhile, 61 % people also said that Trump is not committed to free and fair elections, according to the poll.
I don’t think he’s using the presidency to enrich himself.
I know he is.
It’s not whether people believe he is; the real question is whether they understand that he is.
That’s an IQ test, really.
