That's not a Presidential approval poll. In normal times, "wrong direction" means "needs new leadership". But now the President is so much more polarizing than anyone in history, "wrong direction" could also mean "not supporting the president" to some respondents.

NEW: New York will soon send its 'first-ever Trumpflation refund' checks to taxpayers. The NY Department of Taxation will send refund checks to over 8 million New Yorkers starting at the end of September. The exact amount paid will depend on the taxpayer's filing status and their adjusted gross income for the 2023 tax year. New York Governor Kathy Hochul first announced the program in May. The one-time payments aim to provide financial relief from higher sales taxes due to Trumpflation.
Where is she getting that money from? NY can't print money. Is she shrinking the state to let people make their own better decisions about how to spend money? Or is she mortgaging NY's future?
