Morris: Yeah, I keep seeing
evidence in these surveys that just gets worse for President Trump every time
we take a new poll. So the trend here, in other words, is deeply negative, and
it has been for a while. It’s one thing to be at minus two on border security,
your previous best issue, for example.
But when that number has declined 12 points
over the last year—and that’s, I mean, to be honest, that’s probably the one
policy area where Trump is delivering on some of his promises. There being no
significant traffic crossing the border, at least that shows up in the
statistics. That’s a real indictment of the presidency overall.
And really it only gets worse from there. On
the things that people tell us are their most important problem—that being
affordability being the big one, and also jobs and the economy—the president is
about 40 points underwater on prices and inflation, and about 23, 24 points
underwater on jobs and the economy. That being the number one issue that he won
the 2024 election on, voters now say in our survey that they trust Democrats
more to handle these issues—six points on inflation and the same six-point margin
on jobs and the economy.
