Exact excerpt

A new Economist/YouGov poll released Sept. 22 found Trump's approval rating fell five points in a single week, from 40% to 35%, wiping out five straight weeks of gains. The drop leaves him just two points above the lowest rating he's ever recorded in the survey. Democrats hold a double-digit lead over Republicans on the generic congressional ballot, while majorities disapprove of Trump's handling of several key issues, including the military, immigration, foreign policy and tariffs.
