Some 59% of respondents, including 30% of Republicans, opposed Trump's moves to end federal efforts to promote the hiring of women and members of racial minority groups.

…

Some 50% of poll respondents said the country was on the wrong track when it came to the cost of living, compared to 25% who said it was moving in the right direction. The rest said they weren't sure or didn't answer the question.

1. Oxen are standing in line, awaiting their turn for goring

Even if they haven’t felt the effects yet, you know all of MAGAtry must be wondering when they’ll start suffering just like those whom they intended to harm through policy. The anticipation must be horrible for them, but IDGAF.

2. From 47% to 45% approval doesn't seem like the "plummet" I was expecting from this article ;(.

3. But the last paragraph is a plunge. Remember Trump's hard core base

is 37%.

Some 50% of poll respondents said the country was on the wrong track when it came to the cost of living, compared to 25% who said it was moving in the right direction. The rest said they weren't sure or didn't answer the question.

6. Yup, Trump has burned through all of his political capital

In a week, without even having all of his cabinet picks confirmed yet.

Republicans are going to suddenly start growing some spines. I'd bet RFKj and Tulsi suddenly need to spend more time with their families.

7. This poll was taken

Before the freeze. Just wait until that shows up in the polls.
