In just the past few weeks, Trump has earned the new nickname 'TACO' which stands for — Trump Always Chickens Out — referencing the state of his tariff-trade war negotiations; Iran's Ayatollah issued a 'fatwa' against him after he launched airstrikes against their nuclear facilities; And his very controversial 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill' hijacked the news headlines all week, as it threatens to substantially cut into Medicaid and other safety net programs.
In a Quantus Insights poll ending July 2, 47% approved of Trump's overall job as president, while 49% disapproved and 4% reported not sure.
Ahead of Fourth of July, the pollsters asked how people felt about American pride, with 77% responding they are proud to be American and 23% said not proud. Along the same vein, Americans were asked which American values they hold most dear, the response was freedom of speech, equality under the law, democracy/voting rights, the right to bear arms, and religious liberty, in that order.
