Conservative Rasmussen head pollster Mark Mitchell admitted that President Donald Trump has experienced a "significant" drop in approval after the stock market fell dramatically because of his tariff policies.
During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Mitchell reflected on his organization's latest polling on the president.
"The majority have a positive opinion of him up until I'll tell you what, he's taken a couple of licks because of the market movements last week," Mitchell revealed. "And because I think that they're really trying to use this tariff thing as the latest op, this wedge to try and plunge his approval data."
"I don't know. I think it'll be a blip," he continued. "I have him at 47% today, down from in the fifties last week, but I think it'll be back up."

"That's significant!" host David Brody exclaimed. "I mean, that is that significant!"
"Yeah, it is," Mitchell agreed. "First it was Signalgate. That didn't move the numbers."
"And I think this one did mostly because there are a lot of older Republicans that voted for Donald Trump that are seeing 401(k)s take a hit," he added.
