Disapproval rose to 62%, the worst of his two terms in office, amid economic issues since launching his war against Iran

Six months out from November’s midterm US elections, Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 62% – the worst of his two terms in office – according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

The US president received his worst ratings on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Trump achieved majority disapproval on his management of every issue measured, including Americans disapproved of his handling of that war by 66% to 32%, while a staggering 76% disapproved and only 23% approved of his handling of the cost of living. Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Yeah I get that. I just don't understand how gas prices are able to permeate that veil, while disappearing healthcare, people being abducted off the street and shoved into concentration camps, international pedophile rings, intimidation of the media, bribery, and white people being cut down in the street without consequences, etc. etc. remains firmly sequestered.

    All of those examples are things they know about through the press and social media. So either they chose not to believe the lying press, or they get the content moderated in such a way that it all sounds acceptable. The latter of course takes having sick values, but not as sick as you would expect based on the info you get about what is happening in the world.
