The latest poll shows that a majority of Michiganders — 56 percent — give President Donald Trump negative marks, according to the Detroit Free Press.
A breakdown of the poll by EPIC-MRA of Lansing shows that 45 percent rated his performance as poor, while another 11 percent said it was fair. That compares to 41 percent who gave him positive marks, which broke down to 17 percent as "pretty good" and 24 percent as "excellent." Three percent were undecided.
The Freep reports:
Potentially more worrisome for Trump and Republican members of Congress who will face voters in the midterm elections next year, however, is the depths to which that disenchantment with the administration's handling of the White House runs. Clear majorities gave the president negative marks for his handling of the economy and inflation, as well as for ending Russia's war with Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas as he promised on the campaign trail.
"The only thing that he's close (to positive marks) on is immigration (for which 48% of respondents gave him a positive rating and 48% gave him negative ones, with 4% undecided)," said Bernie Porn, EPIC-MRA's pollster. "He's even starting to suffer among his own base. Unless something changes, those numbers are probably only going to get worse."
