What to Know​

According to Rasmussen's daily poll tracker, as of April 4, Trump's approval rating sits at 49 percent, while 50 percent disapprove of his job performance.

MAGA Faithful Turn on Trump​


Well, this is awkward... Donald Trump is fueling a schism in the GOP, with many prominent Republicans speaking out again the president's wildly unpopular package of new reciprocal tariffs. Several of the former reality star's biggest supporters have publicly pointed out that his tariffs are likely to hurt the average American. (In fact, U.S. markets suffered their steepest declines since 2020 after the president celebrated "Liberation Day" on April 2, according to the Wall Street Journal.)
