Colbert on Trump's Plunging Approval: Who's Still Backing Him?
About this episode
Stephen Colbert, on his Late Show, expressed bewilderment over Donald Trumps dwindling approval rating, now at 33%. Despite this, 22% strongly approve of his actions. Colbert humorously questioned who these die-hard supporters are, suggesting they might be fueled by high gas prices and global tensions. Meanwhile, Trump, concerned about his ratings and rising gas costs, is considering abandoning the Iran standoff without securing the Strait of Hormuz. He urged nations like the UK to secure their own fuel, but Colbert pointed out the challenges theyll now face.

On April 1st, Stephen Colbert hit the stage on his late show this week, straight baffled by Donald Trump's approval rating plunging to 33 percent in a fresh UMass u-gov poll that's barely one out of every three folks still riding with the former press even at 79 years old. Polls show it gets rougher with 47 percent strongly disapproving of his moves. But here's the head scratcher, 22 percent strongly approve, no questions asked. Colbert leaned into the crowd's cheers, turning right to the camera like, who are these die-hards holding it down? He roasted their vibe, painting them as folks hyped on sky-high gas prices and global beefs messing with everyday life. Meanwhile, word is Trump sweating these numbers plus pumping gas costs, telling A.E.T.'s cool bailing on the Iran standoff without clearing the straight of horn moves, that vital oil route. Trump jumped on true social, pushing nations like the UK to grab their own fuel from the straight since Iran's taken hits, and the tough
works over. Colbert flipped it smooth, calling out how they now face the real grind ahead. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture coverage.
