President Donald Trump’s favorability on one key issue has reportedly fallen so sharply that one pollster was forced to amend his organization’s chart format just to accommodate the president’s historically low performance.

That key issue is how favorable Americans are with the president’s handling of gas prices, which, according to Democratic-aligned political data and polling firm Blue Rose Research, fell by around 20 percentage points from more than 50% in March to 33% this month.

David Shor, head of data science at Blue Rose Research, revealed Tuesday evening that his firm had been forced to alter the format it typically uses to chart approval ratings in order to accommodate the steep decline in support.

“Just to emphasize how bad of a hole the Trump Administration is in right now, [Trump's favorability on handling] gas prices this morning literally plummeted so far we had to fix the Y axis of this chart,” Shor wrote in a social media post on X.

Josh Schwerin, a prominent Democratic political communications strategist, called the results of the polling “stunning,” political scientist Joel Montfort noted that Trump was now “underwater on every single indicator,” and former Politico reporter Lauren French called the data “stunningly bad for Trump.”

And California-based attorney Dilan Esper mused on how Trump’s historically low approval on such a key issue was largely self-inflicted.

“And remember we could have just not attacked Iran (which accomplished nothing) without a plan to secure the straits and this wouldn't have happened,” Esper wrote in a social media post on X.

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Trump’s favorability was sitting at 34%, with 64% disapproving, the lowest of his second term. On cost of living issues, Trump sat at 22% approval, another dire indicator of the unpopularity of his war against Iran.
