President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a "perilous point", according to CNN’s political director David Chalian, citing a new poll conducted for the broadcaster.

The decline spanned several key groups, including working‑class Americans, where Trump posted a 36 percent approval rating against 54 percent disapproval, yielding a net score of –18.
Just understand that a fitness regimen — doesn’t have to be clanking weights in a gym — will help you get there. Kids don’t play outside anymore. Kids don’t just listen, they observe. Actually, I’m not writing this for those who already think of themselves as athletes so much as those who don’t. So, I’m asking, on behalf of the president: are you ready?

She was sentenced to 26 months in prison and served barely more than half of that time when Trump commuted her sentence in 2021. The president has issued a number of clemencies during the first year of his second term, many for defendants in criminal cases once touted by federal prosecutors.
