The latest New York Times Siena poll finds nearly 60% of people surveyed do not approve of how Trump is handling his job as president. Nearly 65% disapprove of his managing of the economy. More than half don't like how he's handling immigration. As for the ongoing Iran conflict, 65% of people say Trump made the wrong decision to go to war. And majorities of voters say the war is not worth the cost. There's also a majority that doesn't approve of Trump's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

And while the poll may show warning signs for Republicans, the poll also shows a broad majority of voters are unsatisfied with Republicans and Democrats.
