Congress ended the shutdown, but stocks failed to deliver the typical post-reopening rally. A new Morning Consult poll shows Trump’s approval rebounding to 46% and disapproval dropping to 52%, returning to pre-shutdown levels as voters cite the Epstein files as the top news story. Despite the improvement in approval, overall confidence in the country’s direction has fallen to 37%.
