Yikes.

A new Fox News poll found President Donald Trump's disapproval rating surging in the wake of two mass shootings, bungled ICE raids, and petty tweets.

According to the survey, taken from August 11-13, the president's disapproval rating is now at 56%, just one point shy of his all-time high disapproval rating in the same survey in 2017. The current rating is up five points from the same poll from July.


At the same time, his approval rating has dropped 3 points since July to 43%, which represents a net decline of 8% in just a month.

What's more, a record number of white men, 46%, disapprove of the president's performance. White men comprise one of the president's most reliable demographics.

Independents find Trump's performance lacking at a record number as well (64%).

The results come less than a month after Trump took to Twitter to rail against Fox News for its July polling results, leading many to believe he would rather Fox report false results that paint him in a favorable light.

Trump has yet to comment on the August poll.

Some are hopeful that Americans might finally be awakening to the chaos of the Trump era.

On the other hand, many were flummoxed as to how Trump's approval rating was still at 43%.

The results aren't limited to Fox News polling either. Another one of the president's favorite polling firms, Rasmussen, found the president's approval index plummeting as well.

There's a long way to go before the fateful November night next year, but that also means plenty of room for more Trumpian gaffes and—judging by the past two and a half years—little chance for redemption.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
