Trump drops in the polls and takes a big swing at disparate impact.

Plus, do parents get to opt out of transgressive classroom material?

We'll discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors.

I said anything.

So MBD, we have a bunch of new Trump polls, and it's not looking great.

His job approval rating has taken a step down pretty much everywhere.

Fox News poll, which of course Trump was raging against, he's raged against Fox News polls for a very long time,

has his job approval at 44.

I think there's a Reuters that has at 42. Pew, maybe a little bit of an outlier,

has it at 40. But the trend is definitely down. And the biggest driver, it seems, is a standing

on the economy, a traditional strength, obviously. But I think the Fox Bowl maybe has approval on the economy at 40 or so.

And then he's underwater almost two to one on whether people approve of the tariffs and what he's doing on inflation.

What do you make of it?
