Why aren’t Democrats more popular, given the president’s low approval ratings in significant areas such as the economy? And what do Americans really think of Donald Trump?
In this special episode of Americast, recorded live at Maida Vale studios in London for Castfest (celebrating some of the BBC’s best loved news podcasts) we look at recent polling for both Donald Trump, and the Democrats. Why has the president lost support, and how worried should the Republican party be, given the possibility of losing control of Congress in November’s midterm elections?
Justin, Sarah, Anthony and Marianna also hear why former Trump loyalist Tucker Carlson who is now apologising for helping to get Donald Trump elected, and the wider impact this may have on Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) base.
We also take a closer look at polling for the Democrats and why the party is not more popular. What should Democrats be doing ahead of the presidential election in 2028 to increase their support?

We ask the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams about the strategy behind President Donald Trump’s Project Freedom – a plan for US forces to guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
On Tuesday, the US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said the US had established “a powerful red, white and blue dome” of defence over the Strait as a “gift to the world”, and that two American commercial ships had already made the crossing.
There is growing concern that the operation could jeopardise the fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. US Central Command has said that since the start of Project Freedom, the Iranian military has fired at American naval and commercial ships. Iran has also resumed firing missiles at the United Arab Emirates, and is suspected of targeting a South Korean cargo vessel anchored in the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington’s top general, Dan Caine, has said that the latest Iranian attacks have fallen below the threshold of restarting major combat operations, but that American forces were ready to resume such operations.

Getting rid of colonialism is a good step toward Africa as its own continent . You should have your own money backed up with all the gold and minerals that you have. In few decades you would become number one continent in prosperity and thriving. All you have to do is get rid of the shackles from France , Britain , USA .

Fake coup. I see France at work behind the scenes. He is of the Bongo family, wi i believe he is being put there to keep the status quo. Lets see if he will implement anti France policies to stop the flow of weath and natural resources to France.
