President Donald Trump has little time to reverse course after shocking new polling results have revealed his base was slipping away from him ahead of midterms, according to an Axios report on Thursday.

Three new polls have revealed that Americans think the president is "so politically toxic" that they preferred former President Joe Biden's leadership more, putting Republicans further on edge.

"One year in, Trump has squandered virtually every advantage that won him the presidency. The White House has nine months to turn the ship around before a potential midterm wipeout for Republicans," Axios reported.

Trump has been vocal critic of Biden throughout his campaign and throughout his first year in office. Despite his view, voters have different thoughts.

"Three national surveys point to the same alarming trend for a president who's done everything in his power to erase his predecessor's legacy," according to Axios.

The new polls include Harvard CAPS/Harris, Rasmussen Reports and YouGov/Economist.

The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll was conducted from Jan. 28 to 29 and "found that 51% of registered voters say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 49% who say he's doing better."

Trump-friendly pollster Rasmussen cited criticism from MAGA and discovered that 48% of potential voters believe Biden did a better job while in office compared to the 40% who said Trump has performed better during their polling from Feb. 2 to 4. And another 8% said they think both presidents have done "about the same."

And a YouGov/Economist poll conducted from Feb. 6 to 9 revealed that 46% of American adults say Trump is doing worse than Biden, while 40% believe Trump is doing better than Biden, and 7% who think it's "about the same."

CNN polling analyst Harry Enten has pointed to Trump's net approval rating on the economy (-18), which is 26 points lower than where he was at this time during his first term. It's now 53 points lower among independents.

"If you know anything about Donald Trump, you know that he built his two presidential victories on winning voters [who are] without a college degree," Enten said. "Well, Donald Trump's base with non-college voters is absolutely collapsing."

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
