CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 13, 2025
IF YOU SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT, HERE IS SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU AND FOR HIM.
THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE REPORTS: “ONCE THE HONEYMOON IS OVER, PRESIDENTS TEND TO LOSE POPULARITY QUICKLY. BUT NO RECENT PRESIDENT HAS FALLEN SO LOW, SO QUICKLY AS DONALD TRUMP.
“AT THE START OF HIS SECOND TERM, PUBLIC OPINION WAS NEARLY DIVIDED BETWEEN THOSE WHO APPROVED OF THE PRESIDENT AND THOSE WHO DID NOT. NOW HIS NET APPROVAL RATING…IS MINUS 18. THAT’S THREE PERCENTAGE POINTS LOWER THAN ANY POINT IN HIS FIRST TERM. TRUMP’S NUMBERS ARE POOR EVEN ON THE ISSUES AT THE CENTRE OF HIS POLITICAL PLATFORM. NET APPROVAL FOR HIS HANDLING OF IMMIGRATION IS MINUS 7. ON INFLATION AND PRICES, IT IS MINUS 33.
“THE BIGGEST SHIFT AWAY FROM MR. TRUMP HAS BEEN AMONG AMERICANS UNDER 30. HIS NET APPROVAL AMONG THAT GROUP WAS POSITIVE 3 WHEN HE RETURNED TO OFFICE. NOW IT IS MINUS 41. HIS RATINGS AMONG HISPANIC AND BLACK AMERICANS, WHICH BEGAN NEGATIVE, HAVE ALSO PLUMMETED. EVEN WHITE AMERICANS, WHO APPROVED OF HIM…BY 16 IN JANUARY, NOW HAVE A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE VIEW OF HIM…EVERY STATE, EXCEPT IDAHO, HAS MOVED AGAINST TRUMP.”
CLEARLY, HE HAS MUCH WORK TO DO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
