Trump approval holds at 40%, lowest of his term, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
WASHINGTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's approval rating held at 40% in recent weeks, matching the lowest level of his current term, amid weak ratings from Hispanic voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Monday. The six-day poll was conducted as economic data showed signs the U.S. labor market is weakening and as Trump oversees a sweeping immigration crackdown, while at the same time the Republican has been engaged in intense diplomacy to end a war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump's approval rating was unchanged from a late July Reuters/Ipsos poll, but has dropped seven percentage points since his first days back in the White House in January, when 47% of Americans gave him a thumbs-up. The latest poll showed Hispanics, a group that swung toward Trump in last year's election, have also soured on the president. Some 32% approved of his performance in the White House, matching their lowest level of approval for Trump this year. More: Trump approval rating round-up: Where does president stand in recent polls? More than half of respondents -- 54%, including one in five Republicans -- said they thought Trump was too closely aligned with Russia, even as he ramped up a push to broker peace between Moscow and Kyiv. Trump has appeared to embrace Russia's claim that Ukraine must cede territory to Russia in order for the war to stop. Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, and the poll closed just ahead of the president's meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Just 42% of respondents approved of Trump's performance on crime and 43% thought he was doing a good job on immigration policy. On all policies, Trump's support came overwhelmingly from Republicans. After returning to the White House in January, Trump ordered a sweeping crackdown on people living in the country illegally, deploying masked agents to arrest and deport migrants across the country. The policy has triggered mass protests in cities including Los Angeles, where about half the population identifies as Latino and many people have family members who are recent immigrants.

See states where he is most, least popular More recently, Trump ordered federal agents and National Guard troops to aid in law enforcement in Washington, D.C., arguing that crime was rampant there. Statistics show that violent crime shot up in 2023 but has been rapidly declining since. The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 4,446 U.S. adults nationwide and online and had a margin of error of about 2 percentage points. (Reporting by Jason Lange; editing by Scott Malone and Deepa Babington)

What to Know About Mail Categories on Your iPhone and How to Turn Them Off
Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June that it will release iOS 26 this fall. That update will bring a new Liquid Glass design, call screening and more to your iPhone. But when Apple released iOS 18.2 in December, it introduced a new feature in your Mail app that sorts your incoming emails into different categories for you that's called Categories. "The Mail app automatically sorts your email messages into categories to help you find and manage messages quicker," Apple wrote online. But if you don't like how Categories work in Mail, no worries. Apple gives you a few options to either ignore Categories or revert your app to look like it did before the iOS 18.2 update. Here's what you need to know about Mail Categories and how to turn the feature off so your app looks like it did before the update. What are Mail Categories? Mail Categories are similar to categories you would find in Gmail. The app filters your emails into one of four categories: Primary, Transactions, Updates and Promotions. Emails with receipts, as well as order and delivery information, fill the Transactions category, and news, social and other subscription emails go to Updates. Emails with special offers and deals go to Promotions, as you might imagine. I ignore most of the deals I get emailed, but that coffee subscription is tempting. Apple/Screenshot by CNET The Primary category is more difficult to pin down. Apple says in the app that Primary is for "Messages that matter most." I've used the redesigned app since it launched in beta, and during that time my Primary category was filled with emails from my wife, customer service and even refund information. It's a little bit of a catch-all category. Can I change an email's category? You can for most messages but not all. Here's how. 1. Tap Mail. 2. Tap the Transactions, Updates or Promotions tab then tap a message. 3. Tap the three dots (...) in the top right corner. 4. Tap Categorize Sender. Promotions feels right for this email. Apple/Screenshot by CNET Then you can manually categorize messages from a given sender to another category. You can also recategorize an email from Promotions to Deals and then back to Promotions. The only emails that can't be recategorized are those in Primary -- which can be irksome. Once, I ordered tickets for a show at a local theater, and the email was filtered to Promotions. I moved the email with those tickets to Primary, but now all emails from this theater -- including deals and sales -- go to my Primary category. Not being able to change that categorization back is annoying. How do I turn off Mail Categories? If you don't like Mail Categories, you have a few options to see all your mail at once. The easiest way is to swipe the categories bar near the top of Mail to the left to reveal the All Mail. Tap this and all your mail will be displayed from top to bottom as each message comes in, but you will still see the Categories tabs across the top of the app. I prefer this view of my mailbox to be honest. Apple/Screenshot by CNET You can also remove Categories altogether so the app looks like it did before the update. Here's how. 1. Tap Mail. 2. Tap the three dots (...) in the top right corner of the app. 3. Tap List View. Apple/Screenshot by CNET Now your emails will populate in Mail from top to bottom as they arrive in your inbox. For more iOS news, here are my first impressions of the beta version of iOS 26, how to enable call screening in the beta and all the new features Apple said it will bring to your device later this year.

The AIDS Crisis Offers a Warning About Trump's Research Cuts
During a sweaty night in Houston 33 years ago, on Aug. 19, 1992, I spoke to the Republican National Convention and, via television, to millions of others. My speech, 'A Whisper of AIDS,' took 13 minutes of the four or five years I was told I had left. I had AIDS. Everyone said it would kill me. However, I did not die. Thanks to incredible medical research, AIDS was converted from certain death to possible life for those with access to new drugs. Today about 1.2 million Americans live with HIV/AIDS and 50,000 or so are added to this total each year. Thanks to drugs many people can't afford, an AIDs diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. Medicaid is redemptive. Federal resources save lives. And I am alive to bear witness to the danger that still lurks in our communities, to the enormous cost already paid in money and lives, and to the tremendous advancements we are making against this disease. If we're willing to learn, our experience with AIDS offers some lessons. For example: Science, if persistently supported, can generate miracles. Science has kept me alive all these years. Science has virtually eradicated vertical (mother-to-child) HIV transmission for a few pennies per person. The miracles are within reach. But if scientific funding is stopped, so are the miracles. The Trump Administration has gutted America's AIDS eradication program and HIV research initiatives. Republicans have simultaneously provided a historic tax cut for wealthy Americans. The unpleasant truth is that these policies are a reflection of a broader belief that some lives are more valuable than others. As the philosophy goes: Infants in, say, Sudan can be allowed to die because their lives aren't as important as American's. And funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which feeds hungry families and school kids, can be cut because their lives don't matter as much as wealthy Americans need a tax break. Burdening the poor with greater poverty while lightening the tax load of the most wealthy, to paraphrase Bill Gates, smacks of the richest people in the world killing the poorest children in the world. The dilemma we faced with the AIDS crisis, and we face again today with President Donald Trump's reckless dismantling of domestic and international programs, is that those setting the rules believe they themselves will not be impacted. What it will take to change minds, as we learned in the AIDS epidemic, is a personal encounter with the truth—and with the repercussions of their actions. When a Republican Congressman who voted for Trump's budget learns that his mother's rural nursing home has been closed, and there's no other one within a hundred miles, then he may care. When his eight-year-old daughter is given a terminal diagnosis, and his prayers for a miracle are not answered because research has been starved of needed funds, then he may care. When the consequences are close enough, personal enough, painful enough, we begin to care. When we care enough about hunger, we can and will solve it—just like when we cared enough about AIDS, we were able to make huge strides. But right now, we simply do not care enough. The AIDS epidemic taught us that until we are personally touched by the truth, we're not likely to care; and until we care, we'll stand by, hands in pockets, looking the other way. Cuts in USAID programs alone will result in the deaths of 14 million people, maybe more, who might have otherwise lived. But if their deaths are in another place, somewhere we won't be bothered by seeing them, we just don't care. If we wait until we care enough, we'll learn the lesson of Pastor Niemoeller who said of Nazi Germany: 'They came after the Jews and I was not a Jew, so I did not protest. They came after the trade unionists and I was not a trade unionist, so I did not protest. They came after the Roman Catholics and I was not a Roman Catholic, so I did not protest. Then they came after me, and there was no one left to protest.' It's an old warning, one I cited in a speech to Republicans 33 years ago. If we wait too long, and if we refuse to care about the lives of others, we will all eventually feel the consequences. Then we will care.
