LEHIGH COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) \u2014 President Donald Trump will visit a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania Tuesday as his approval ratings continue to drop in the swing state, according to a recent poll<\/a> from Franklin & Marshall College.<\/p>\n

The president is set to speak around 2 p.m. at the facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the fifth time during his second term that Trump has visited Pennsylvania\u2014a state that helped deliver his presidential victories in both the 2016 and 2026 elections.<\/p>\n

Around one-third of U.S. adults approve of Trump\u2019s approach to the economy, a June Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found.<\/p>\n

However, an F&M poll also released in June found that Trump\u2019s job approval rating in Pennsylvania sits around 29%, down from 39% in March. The poll attributes the loss in points to angst over cost of living, international affairs, and \u201can AI future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Associated Press reports<\/a> Trump\u2019s visit to Pennsylvania will likely shift attention to the country\u2019s economy in his first public event since he signed an interim agreement to end the war in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cMack Trucks are a symbol of America\u2019s manufacturing strength,\u201d Congressman Dan Meuser wrote in a Facebook post<\/a> about Trump\u2019s visit. \u201cTheir Lehigh Valley operations are a pillar of the local economy, employing Pennsylvania workers and driving the nation\u2019s trucking industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale, on the other hand, said Trump and \u201chis allies\u201d are visiting Pennsylvania to \u201ctry to sell their chaotic, corrupt, and cost-raising agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump has no shame coming back to our Commonwealth as he works alongside Stacy Garrity, Ryan Mackenzie, and Dan Meuser to find new and uniquely corrupt ways to make life harder for Pennsylvanians \u2014 from their costly war of choice that caused gas prices to skyrocket to their cruel healthcare cuts that have already forced more than 160,000 Pennsylvanians to drop their insurance,\u201d DePasquale wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

CBS 21 will livestream Trump\u2019s visit on our Facebook <\/a>and YouTube <\/a>pages.
