Polls conducted after Trump's new tariffs are just brutal for him:

- Disapproval over 50% for the first time in his second term
- Econ approval at -15
- Tariffs underwater by 30

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(

It's true. ABC News shuttered 538, and I was laid off today. It was an honor to work with a talented, smart and most importantly, kind, group of journalists; and to build off the groundbreaking work of the those who came before me.
