The Latest Zogby Political Poll: Trump, Economic Concerns & War Trends – 05.22.26

In this episode, John and Jeremy Zogby analyze new political polling data on Trump’s influence, economic worries, and war sentiments shaping the election landscape. Show Notes: John and Jeremy Zogby discuss a new Zogby Strategies poll taken Thursday–Friday amid a week in which Trump showed strong influence over Republicans early (primary defeats of Thomas Massie and Bill Cassidy) but saw Congress reject his requests for a $1.776B “weaponization” fund, $900M for a White House ballroom, and added security funding. Our poll shows Trump at 44% approval and 54% disapproval (minus 10), with weaker ratings on the economy (40/57) and affordability (37/58). Democrats lead the generic congressional ballot 49–42. On the Iran war, 29% support boots on the ground and 61% oppose; impact from gas costs is significant for 48%. Top voting issues are economy/inflation (48), healthcare, immigration (19), and Iran war close behind (18), with discussion of a convergence of war and economic concerns and perceptions of reduced U.S. credibility (41 more credible, 48 less). We also look at Democrats’ handling of a redacted 2024 campaign autopsy and broader party issues.
