New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.

When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?

GPAHE has to be one of the most under-rated research orgs in the game right now. So many groups have been skittish in the second Trump era, afraid of criticism or partisan attacks, but this team keeps calling balls and strikes without fear of ruffling feathers.

There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran.

None. Zero. Nothing.
