Analysis: Why Alaska signals a slow defeat for Ukraine

What are President Trump's approval ratings? See what Indiana thinks of his performance
President Donald Trump's approval ratings nationally are in the red, but in about half of the states, including Indiana, more people approve than disapprove of his job performance. While Trump's approval rating nationally remains historically low, a look at state-by-state survey results show a more complicated picture. Here is what we know: Trump's approval rating is above water in 27 states, according to an Aug. 12 update from Morning Consult, which gathers polls over the course of three months to get a look at state-level data among registered voters. The number of states who approve of Trump is unchanged from July's update. Morning Consult found that Trump is most popular in Wyoming, where 66% of voters approve of his job performance, and least popular in Vermont, where 64% disapprove. His approval is net negative in two states with gubernatorial races this fall: New Jersey and Virginia, according to Morning Consult. In Texas, 53% of voters approve of Trump's performance while 44% disapprove. In California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom has threatened to counter changes in Texas' redistricting plan, 41% approve of Trump's job peformance while 56% disapprove. California is Trump's seventh worst rating among the states, according to Morning Consult. According to Morning Consult, 51% of Hoosiers approve of Trump while 45% disapprove. Despite recent "No Kings" and "Good Trouble" protests, Indiana is one of the 27 states where Trump's approval ratings are more positive than not. Story continues after photo gallery. RealClearPolitics Poll Average shows Trump's approval rating dipping throughout the first few weeks of July before rising toward the end of the month. Aggregated polls by the New York Times show a similar trend. As of Jan. 27, Trump had a +6.2 percentage point approval rating, but as of March 13, that flipped to slightly negative, the RealClearPolitics graphics show. His approval rating fell lowest on April 29 around Trump's 100-day mark to 7.2 percentage points. It came close to that low again on July 22 and 23 at -7.1 percentage points, as the controversy over Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile, carried into its third week. As of Aug. 12 Trump's average approval rating margin, according to RealClearPolitics, is -5.4 percentage points. The approval margin according to the New York Times aggregator on Aug. 12 is -8 percentage points. A historical analysis by Gallup shows Trump's approval ratings in July of his first years in office — both as the 45th and 47th presidents — are lower than those of any other modern president at the same time in their administrations. In a Gallup poll conducted from July 7-21, 37% approved of Trump's job performance. Here's how that compares to other presidents in July of their first year of their term, according to Gallup:

Letters to the Editor: Only smart move is for Naperville to extend IMEA contract; Trump's tariffs on India amount to bullying a friend
The Naperville City Council is facing a critical deadline Tuesday when it must decide whether to renew or reject a contract extension with the Illinois Municipal Electricity Agency to be the city's energy supply for another 20 years. IMEA is the nonprofit organization with which Naperville and 31 other communities have partnered for many years. If the amended contract is ratified, Naperville will secure a stable and affordable electric supply for future years. If rejected, it will be necessary for the city to purchase electricity on the open market from companies driven by profit. This will undoubtedly result in significantly higher prices, especially if only zero carbon options are chosen. The rush to zero carbon premium energy is shortsighted because IMEA power plants will continue to operate for the community members that renew the contract. IMEA opponents will not shut down the coal power plants but they will burden Naperville with runaway electric costs. Naperville also will forfeit the accumulated power plant bond payments estimated at $650 million to date and give up the reduced electric rates that will result from the construction bonds paid off by 2035. A provision option tied to the extended contract allows Naperville to utilize the Member Directed Resource (MDR) to purchase 26% of its energy from zero carbon suppliers. In addition, this provision can be 'moved forward' immediately into the current contract. This is an opportunity to supplement the current energy profile with 26% of zero carbon sourcing. The uncertainty of green energy capacity, rising electric demand due to expanding AI centers and higher projected green energy costs create a very volatile market. This can all be avoided by re-signing with the IMEA, an action that will keep costs stable, provide a consistent electric supply and avoid spot market chaos by dealing with power marketers offering profit-motivated electric supply options. I encourage the Naperville City Council to approve the IMEA contract extension so we can maintain a reliable power grid and provide fiscally responsible costs for residents while transitioning toward greener energy options.U.S. President Donald Trump's additional 25% tariff on India for buying Russian oil brings the total tariff amount to 50%. But the fact is the United States also did about $3.5 billion worth of trade with Russia in 2024. How is this not helping Russia fund its war in Ukraine? With Trump's tariffs, the price of generic medicines, clothes and food from India will increase in America. How will small businesses in both countries survive such high tariffs? Trump is not putting additional tariffs on China for buying Russian oil because he does not want to strain relations with China. Then why is Trump doing it with India? India and the U.S. have been allies since President George Washington's time. Trump has said that India is friends with the United States. So then why is he being a bully to India?
