Gallup, Inc.

A new poll from the American Research Group conducted September 16th through the 20th put Trump's approval rating at 29%, below 30 for the first time in either of his terms.

And to put that into perspective, according to Gallup's own presidential tracker, the last time any president's approval sat in the 20s was George W. Bush at the tail end of 2008 in the middle of a global financial collapse.

That's the company Trump is now keeping.

And look, yes, in fairness, other trackers this week have him in the mid-30s, But even setting aside whether 29% or 33% or 35% is the real number, the trend across literally every single pollster, Gallup, Reuters, Ipsos, YouGov, NBC, Marquette, all of them points to the exact same thing, that Donald Trump's approval rating is going down and down hard, specifically on the economy.

The same ARG poll found only 26% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy and 72% of respondents said they think the economy is getting worse, which is especially devastating since Trump himself conceded that the issue of affordability was why he was elected to the presidency in the first place.

I won on two things, the border And more than immigration, you know, they like to say immigration.

And you only notice it's missing when weight is applied.

The scale of the problem, Gallup, around one in five employees globally report experiencing loneliness a lot of the previous day.

Fully remote employees report the highest level at 25% compared with 16% of fully on-site workers and hybrid workers between the two at 21%.

Gallup also found that engaged employees are 64% less likely to be lonely than those who are not engaged.

Employees who feel their opinions count are 39% less likely to be lonely.

And a best friend at work was actually one of the weaker protective factors at 21%.

Access is necessary.

It's nowhere near sufficient.

Okay,

right now, right here, according to the latest Gallup polling, and I want to make sure I get the date on this correct.

Yes, within the last two weeks here.

Right now, the most important problems for voters are indeed economic problems like the high cost of living and inflation, the economy in general, fuel and oil prices, the federal budget, deficit kind of federal debt, unemployment and jobs, wage issues and taxes.

I know you can't really see this on the screen.

I'm just being a little dramatic here, but it is very much the truth.

The Gallup's latest poll, zero people said the war in the Middle East is their biggest concern.

Healthcare, four people.

Why? Because they know socialism is here to stay.

When mainstream polling from Gallup all across the country says Democrats like socialism, they have to reckon with this.

It said a lot that AOC did not renew her membership in the DSA, and then all of a sudden, she actively renewed her membership this year.

She knows they're a player in the 2028 presidential landscape.

What about the idea that

Putin's really unpopular? They have internal Gallup polls and others.

The CIA's own, they don't even lie to Congress.

Putin's like 85, 90% popular.

70% saying it's doing a poor job protecting human rights and upholding international law.

The Gallup survey also had negative numbers for the U.N. and its support of sustainable development.

The U.N.'s high rank, and it's still upside down, 45% of those polled said the U.N. does a good job in delivering humanitarian assistance.

No major incidents are reported after demonstrators gathered outside Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia during Ed Sheeran's concert Saturday night.

And definitely we had pretty high life satisfaction levels.

And when they started to look at these things across different countries, which Gallup started to do in like around 2010 or so, we were right up there in the top 10.

So a skip ahead then to the early 2020s.

And we've definitely fallen down quite a few spots in those rankings.

No, I think what you're saying there makes sense, right? I remember, and I should have this like plastered on the wall so I can remember exactly where it comes from.

But I remember, this was probably two or three years ago, seeing a Gallup survey where they talk about like, employee and associate satisfaction.

And everybody assumes that more pay is like at the top of the list.

It was like number 12 or something way lower than I ever expected it to be.
