Late Night Highlights: Trump’s Approval Rating Hits New Low

The latest poll from Economist/YouGov indicates President Trump’s approval rating has dropped to an unprecedented 34 percent. This marks his lowest point yet.

On Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where most other late-night hosts were on a break, Jimmy Kimmel remarked on the situation. He noted, “He is now down to 34 percent. He has the same approval rating as ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop.’ The Blart of the Deal.”

Kimmel continued with his critique: “Trump’s approval numbers, like his testicles, have sunk to an all-time low. They are lower than they’ve ever been. Not only is Trump at his lowest point, he’s also two points behind JD Vance. I don’t have a joke for that. I just want to make sure he knows, he’s two points behind JD Vance.”

Responding to the numbers, a White House spokesperson highlighted that “The ultimate poll was Nov. 5, 2024, when nearly 80 million Americans overwhelmingly elected President Trump to deliver on his popular and common-sense agenda.” Nevertheless, Kimmel pointed out, “But now it’s May of 2026, and everybody hates him, so.”

The Punchiest Punchlines

In other news, the Treasury Department proposed creating a $250 bill featuring President Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation.

Jimmy Kimmel joked about this proposal, “There he is, the least-popular bill since Cosby. And, really, what better way to pay for a single tank of gas than with a bill featuring the head of the man who made it cost that much?”

The Bits Worth Watching

The Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt made an appearance on Thursday’s “Gutfeld.” This provided some interesting insights into the local political scene.

Additionally, a moment to reflect on past performances as Paul McCartney’s 2024 London performance comes to mind, illustrating the enduring appeal of classic rock.
