Why US President is beginning to lose male support
This drop reflects a broader disapproval of Trump's second term, with his overall approval rating down by approximately 12 points since January.
Key issues driving this decline include men's concerns about Trump's focus on deportations, his perceived inability to curb inflation, and his economic policies, particularly tariffs.
A significant majority of men believe Trump has not done enough to lower prices and that his policies are increasing grocery costs.
Trump is also facing criticism from his voter base and within the Republican party regarding his administration's handling of the alleged 'Epstein client list'.

Trump says he'd like to run again, pushing back at ‘fake polls' in CNBC interview: Live updates
In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump said that while he would like to run again for another term in the White House, he added he probably wouldn't. Trump boasted about his 2024 election victory, claiming his numbers in Texas set a record that won't be surpassed unless he runs again. Asked if he would run for another term, Trump replied: 'No. Probably not. I'd like to. I have the best poll numbers I ever had.' The president pushed back when host Joe Kernen clarified that he has the best poll numbers among Republicans, while other polls show his numbers in the 30s. Trump countered: 'They're fake polls. You also have me in the 70s.' The phone interview with Squawk Box mainly focused on economic issues, including a threat to raise tariffs on India within 24 hours, other threats to the European Union, a 200% import tax on pharmaceuticals, and who he is considering to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump also continued to criticize 'rigged' government jobs numbers, attacked Democratic lawmakers Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in reference to redistricting in Texas, and accused banks of discriminating against conservatives.

Some travelers to the US will have to pay $15,000 bonds for visa - money they could lose if they overstay
The State Department announced Monday that some travelers to the U.S. will have to pay $15,000 bonds for a visa, money they could lose if they overstay their allotted time. The Trump administration claimed to be addressing what it referred to as 'a clear national security threat.' The State Department was planning on testing a similar program towards the end of the first Trump administration, but didn't act on it as foreign travel came to a stop amid the Covid-19 pandemic, The New York Times noted. Those coming from countries with high visa overstay rates looking to enter the U.S on a tourist or business visa would be expected to pay a bond of at least $5,000, the department added. Those who don't leave on time forfeit the funds, while those complying with their visas will get the money back. The public notice, which is set to go into effect on August 20, was issued by the State Department and didn't state which countries would be affected. It did say that it would be based on visa overstay data collected and shared by the Department of Homeland Security. 'The applicant on any canceled bond will be entitled to a full refund. There will be no accrued interest on visa bonds that are issued and canceled as part of this pilot program,' the notice said. This comes as the Trump administration continues its broad crackdown on illegal immigration after President Donald Trump promised mass deportations during the 2024 campaign. As the new rule was announced, a notice in the Federal Register said it was 'a key pillar of the Trump administration's foreign policy to protect the United States from the clear national security threat posed by visa overstays and deficient screening and vetting.' Pointing to data collected by DHS in 2023, the notice stated that more than half a million people coming into the U.S. via air and sea ports of entry most likely overstayed their visas. Visitors required to pay the bonds would have to arrive and depart from the U.S. via airports selected to be a part of the program. The State Department said it would make the revelation 15 days before the bonds were enacted. The notice also said that the year-long pilot program would also apply to foreigners from countries where 'screening and vetting information is deemed deficient.' It would also apply to those granted citizenship based on pledged investments or those without a residency requirement. The consular officers granting the visas will be able to decide the amount of the bond, the notice said. It added that the program is intended to test the State Department's previous belief that bond payments are 'too cumbersome to be practical.' While consular officers already have the power to put in place bond requirements on those applying for visas, the notice stated that the State Department's official Foreign Affairs Manual said that 'such bonds will rarely, if ever, be used.' It said that the practical considerations were 'untested.'

Russia arms race fears grow as country ends self-imposed ban on nuclear missiles
The Russian Foreign Ministry has said this week that it feels the moratorium no longer applies after US actions have created a "direct threat" to the country's security Russia has said that it no longer feels bound by a self-imposed moratorium on the deployment of nuclear -capable intermediate range missiles, sparking fears there could be a fresh arms race, particularly with the US. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that the decision is linked to the efforts by the US and its allies to develop intermediate range weapons and preparations for their deployment in Europe. The declaration could indicate a possible new arms race. The ministry said that actions by the US, such as plans to deploy Typhoon and Dark Eagle missiles in Germany from next year, create "destabilizing missile potentials" near Russia. This, it explained, creates a "direct threat to the security of our country" and carries "significant harmful consequences for regional and global stability, including a dangerous escalation of tensions between nuclear powers." It comes after NATO scrambled warplanes as Russia shoots down West's F-16 fighter jet in Ukraine onslaught. President Putin had previously declared that Moscow was planning to deploy its new Oreshnik missiles on the territory of Belarus later this year. The ministry said: "Decisions on specific parameters of response measures will be made by the leadership of the Russian Federation based on an interdepartmental analysis of the scale of deployment of American and other Western land-based intermediate-range missiles, as well as the development of the overall situation in the area of international security and strategic stability.' At the end of last week, Donald Trump said that he would order the repositioning of two US nuclear submarines based on the 'highly provocative statements" of Dmitry Medvedev about the risk of war between the two countries. Medvedev had responded to Trump's deadline for Russia to accept a peace deal in Ukraine or face sanctions by warning him against "playing the ultimatum game with Russia". He had said that "each new ultimatum is a threat and a step toward war'. The Russian politician later wrote on social media that the statement on the withdrawal of the missile moratorium was a result of 'NATO countries' anti-Russian policy'. He added: 'This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps.' Intermediate-range missiles were banned under the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. In 2019, Washington and Moscow abandoned the pact, but Moscow declared its self-imposed moratorium on their deployment, until the US makes a move. The missiles can fly between 500 to 5,500 kilometers. Russia's missile forces chief claimed that the Oreshnik intermediate range missile has a range to reach all of Europe and can carry nuclear warheads. Putin said the weapon was so powerful that using several of the missiles could be as devastating as a nuclear strike. The president claimed last year that it was capable of destroying bunkers three, four or more floors down,' AP reported.
