A national Emerson College Polling survey found that only 45% of voters approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 46% disapprove. Another 9% are neutral or unsure. That marks a steady slide for Trump, who had a 49% approval rating in January and was tied at 45% approval and disapproval just two months ago.
The poll also found that 53% of voters say the country is on the wrong track, while only 48% believe it’s headed in the right direction — a red flag for Trump and the Republican Party heading into next year’s midterms.
Assuming youre young and from the US, your country was long broken before it got this bad and you might not know how a society that supports people looks like. So it might not be strange you can’t see a way out, but there very likely is an actual path to a happy life. Your fate and that of your country are not glued together. There might be a wonderful life waiting for you behind these dark clouds, and the struggle you’re going through now might also mean you’ll actually enjoy it once you get there. Just take it one day at a time, and try not to lose sight of your personal horizon by staring at the bigger picture. It wont be like this the entire 60+ years ahead.
