Update: The White House media tracker—intended to name and shame journalists for bias and errors—incorrectly attributed questions in a press conference to a Fox News reporter. Fox News asked the White House to correct it and now there's a 404 error where the page once was.

Gallup's poll = disaster for Trump. Nixon's the only prez with a worse net approval at this point in a 2nd term than him. Trump must break history for the GOP to keep House control in 2026. No 2nd term pres' net approval rose more than 5 pts from this pt through the midterms.
