How Trump's approval rating stands after US 250th birthday: 6 polls

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating remains underwater in a cluster of national surveys conducted around the July Fourth holiday, with support largely stuck in the high 30s to low 40s and disapproval consistently above 50 percent.

Across six major polls taken in late June and early July, Trump’s approval ranges from 35 percent to 43 percent, while disapproval stretches from roughly 53 percent to 61 percent—offering a consistent snapshot of a presidency facing stubborn headwinds.

The White House has dismissed the polling as only a partial reflection of the president’s performance.

“No other president in history has accomplished more for the American people than President Trump, who is working tirelessly to create jobs, cool inflation, increase housing affordability, and more,” spokesman Davis Ingle told Newsweek in an emailed statement.

Is evil so normalized now that 1/3 still approve of it?

Or does this show the efficiency of the US propaganda machine?

Either or both: horrifying.

...was that on the chart discussing approval by issue, NONE of the Approve/Somewhat Approve sums add up to the 43% the best of his polls show.
Seems weird that fewer people approve of anything he's doing but still adds up to under 43.
Border security is the only one close with a sum of 41%. There are two issues where the "approve" SUM is in the low 20s.
I wonder how we get from that fact to 35 to 43% approval.
