There has been plenty in President Donald Trump’s second term that’s proven politically unpopular.
But when it comes to what’s most significant for the upcoming midterm elections — and most problematic for Republicans trying to defend their congressional majorities — two charts tell the tale as well as anything.
Both feature a remarkably steady decline for Trump’s fortunes. And both now show him worse off than ever before.
The latest numbers come from new polling from CBS News and YouGov, which have frequently polled views of Trump’s handling of the economy over the last 18 months.
They also come as Trump headed to Michigan, a key battleground state, on Monday to promote his economic agenda.
