A recent poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov has revealed that President Donald Trump has hit his lowest approval rating, falling to an unprecedented 34 percent. Jimmy Kimmel, on his Thursday night show, discussed this as ‘bad news’ for Trump.
He is now down to 34 percent. He has the same approval rating as ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop.’ The Blart of the Deal.

Kimmel’s commentary was sharp, noting that Trump’s approval numbers have dropped lower than ever before, likening them to a physical decline.
Trump’s approval numbers, like his testicles, have sunk to an all-time low. They are lower than they’ve ever been.

Kimmel also pointed out Trump’s position in comparison to other political figures.
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.

In response to the unfavorable polling, a White House spokesperson highlighted the November 5, 2024, election as the ultimate poll where nearly 80 million Americans elected Trump, citing his agenda as popular and common-sense. However, Kimmel stressed the decline Trump now faces two years later.
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. OK, yeah. But now it’s May of 2026, and everybody hates him, so.

The Punchiest Punchlines
In a satirical proposal, the Treasury Department suggested printing a $250 bill featuring Trump’s likeness to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary.
There he is, the least-popular bill since Cosby.

Kimmel humorously connected the cost of fuel to the proposed bill featuring Trump’s image.
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?
