Corrupt, Racist and Cruel [View all]

Perfect

Nearly half of Americans would describe President Trump as "corrupt," "racist" and "cruel" in new polling full of midterm warning signs for Republicans.

Why it matters: Trump's approval numbers are falling across the board.
By the numbers: In a new Economist/YouGov poll of 1,682 adults published Monday, about 56% of Americans strongly or somewhat disapprove of Trump's job performance — and they're using harsh words to show their discontent.
