Only 29% of the 546 registered voters surveyed June 8-14 say in poll results made public June 18 that Trump is doing an excellent or good job in his second term. That's a 10-percentage-point shift from March, when the F&M survey found Trump with 39% support.
Some 13% of respondents rated his performance as fair and 58% ranked it as poor, which is a new low for Trump in the 19 times the poll has asked Keystone State voters to rate his job performance going back to his first term in 2017.

More voters than in March said they felt worse off financially than they were a year ago (47%, compared to 36% in March), and expect to be worse off next year (32%, compared to 19%).
"The voters' mood is pretty negative," said Berwood A. Yost, director of both the Center for Opinion Research and the Floyd Institute for Public Policy at Franklin & Marshall in Lancaster. "There's been a sizeable movement in people's personal financial circumstances. The Trump administration has really been taking a beating because of that."
The shifts are notable because they reflect voter sentiment before and now after the U.S. invasion of Iran, which began Feb. 28.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, continues to hold a solid lead over Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity in the race for governor. Shapiro leads Garrity 50% to 28%, the poll found.

It's the economy, stupid!
