Trump Is Melting Down Over His Polling

The president's approval rating at 100 days is the lowest since Eisenhower.

View in Browser  Tuesday, April 29, 2025 We're 100 days into Trump the Sequel, and the poll numbers are not looking good for the president. They are historically bad. Of course, the president has remained stoic with the hope that the results of his sweeping mandates speak for themselves. Wait—no! That's not right at all. In fact, he's attacked the polling institutions, including Fox News, saying "THEY ARE SICK" and suggested they be investigated for "ELECTION FRAUD." Here, in his singular voice, Esquire's political columnist, Charles P. Pierce, shares his reaction to both the numbers and the president's reaction. —Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief.   Plus: The best action movies you've never seen are about to stream. Hell yes.

Trump's Poll Numbers Have Plummeted and He's Not Taking It Well at All Confronted with his own unpopularity, the president is doing the logical thing and lashing out at the pollsters. The president's poll numbers are headed for Middle Earth. It is not possible to ignore that now. From CNN: "Trump's 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower—including Trump's own first term." It appears that the nostalgia comedy act of Mr. Smoot and Mr. Hawley is not what we in showbiz call "boffo."

By Josh Rosenberg, Brady Langmann, and Eric Francisco  I Tried Helight's Red-Light Tool for Better Sleep and It Actually Worked Throughout the years, I've tried just about everything to combat my insomnia. I've taken supplements, upgraded to luxury sheets, a blackout eye mask, dabbled in pre-bed rituals like eliminating screens at night, and even lathering on soothing body oils. Some of these things have helped marginally, but nothing clicked permanently. So when a friend recently recommended I try Helight's red-light sleep gadget, I was intrigued. Not entirely convinced that it could actually turn things around for me, but what did I have to lose?
