Three new polls: Trump's job performance

 Daily Kos - According to Pew, 59% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job performance so far. That is a 7 percentage point drop since February. Conversely, only 40% approve of how Trump is handling the country.

Poll, released on Wednesday and conducted by YouGov for The Economist, finds that 45% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 50% disapprove. That's a massive swing from the previous Economist/YouGov poll on the matter. The older poll, which was fielded April 5-8, found that 50% approved of his handling of immigration policy, and 44% disapproved.

MSNBC -   Since their party's huge loss in November, Democrats in the House and the Senate have been counting down the days till the 2026 midterm elections present them the chance to swing control back in their favor. A new poll from Harvard's Institute of Politics makes it clear, though, that Democrats have a lot of ground to make up with the young Americans whose votes they'd need to flip either chamber.

 The Harvard Youth Poll, released Wednesday, is filled with troubling statistics about how 18- to 29-year-olds feel about the state of the country broadly and politics in particular. Congressional Democrats should be especially worried at how few of those surveyed have positive views of their work. Only 23% of young Americans approve of congressional Democrats' job performance, and almost three times as many — 66% — disapprove.
