Overview

  • Recent surveys from major pollsters, including ABC News/Washington Post and CNN, show Trump's approval rating between 39% and 44%, the lowest for a president at this stage in modern history.
  • Trump has labeled critical polls as 'fake' and accused pollsters of election fraud, demanding investigations into organizations like The New York Times and Fox News.
  • Economic dissatisfaction, driven by controversial tariffs and inflation concerns, has been a major factor in declining public support for Trump's administration.
  • While Republican voters largely continue to back Trump, independent and swing voters have expressed growing disapproval of his policies and leadership style.
  • Political strategists, including Karl Rove, warn that Trump's low approval ratings and chaotic governance could have long-term consequences for the Republican Party's electoral prospects.
