Trump’s approval is cracking among his own Republican base, new poll shows
President Donald Trump is losing some of his strongest support from his own base, a new poll found.The Washington Post/Ipsos poll, released Thursday, showed Trump with a 37% approval rating and a 61% disapproval rating. The Washington Post noted that Trump’s approval rating matches the rating he left office with following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
The Post also found that Trump reached a new low among those who approved of his job in office. Just 15% said they strongly approved of Trump, which is down from the 19% who said the same in February. Another 22% said they “somewhat” approve of Trump.
According to the report, this is the first Post-Ipsos poll where “significantly more than half of Trump approvers support him only ‘somewhat,’ rather than strongly.” The report highlighted that during Trump’s first term, about two-thirds of those who approved of him said they “strongly” did.
Trump’s approval rating among all independents could hurt Republicans in the midterm elections. The poll found that just 26% approved of Trump, with just 6% strongly approving.
The poll also found that Trump’s approval ratings on the economy and the Iran war are even worse than his overall approval rating. Thirty-three percent of Americans approved of Trump on the economy and 29% approved of him overseeing the war with Iran.
Trump's always shitting himself, so I can't just say: "Oh he's got to be shitting himself seeing these numbers". Because the metaphor just has no meaning given the context.
Trump's job approval hits record low, driven down by Gen X, white Americans, and Independents
Americans' approval of Donald Trump's job performance continues to decline, according to the July 25 - 27 Economist / YouGov Poll. 34% of U.S. adult citizens strongly or somewhat approve of Trump's job performance, tied for a record low for either Trump term, while a record 62% disapprove. That's a net job approval of -28, also a record low.At this point in Trump's first term, he had a net job approval of -9.
Trump's popularity is falling among several groups that had been core parts of his base. Among 45- to 64-year-olds, 33% approve and 63% disapprove, for a net disapproval of -29 — a new low for Trump among this group, and down from +15 at the start of Trump's second term.
Among white Americans without college degrees, 43% approve of Trump and 52% disapprove. Over the past three polls, Trump has averaged a net job approval of -6 with this group, the lowest three-week average he's ever received from them. For the first three weeks of Trump's term, he averaged a +27 net approval among whites with no college degree. Trump's three-week average net approval among all whites also is at a new low, of -14.
Trump has also lost support among Republicans who say they're not MAGA supporters. While almost all MAGA Republicans still back Trump (+89 net job approval), non-MAGA Republicans are closely divided, with 55% approving and 43% disapproving for a net approval of +12. That's down sharply from +84 at the start of Trump's second term. Trump's net approval among Independents has fallen during his second term to -53, a new low for him, from -4 at the start of the term.
Only 30% of Americans strongly or somewhat approve of how Trump is handling global trade, while 59% disapprove, a net issue approval of -29. Net approval also is low for Trump tariffs: -29 overall, -24 for recent tariffs specifically imposed on countries Trump's administration accuses of failing to crack down on the use of forced labor, and -20 for tariffs on certain Chinese products.

Who tf was dumb enough to trust the 80 year old on the economy?
They still won't have the votes in the Senate to pass significant legislation, so the number one goal will be to implement checks and balances and gain subpoena power to investigate and shine a light on the absurd level of corruption of this administration, so no president will ever attempt to illegally enrich himself like this in the future. There must be consequences.
Our latest midterm forecast
Updated September 23, 2026
Democrats’ upward trajectory shows no sign of slowing. Their candidates currently lead in the polling averages of the six likeliest Senate tipping-point states: Texas, Iowa, Ohio, Maine, Michigan, and Alaska. Meanwhile, the likely voter adjusted generic congressional ballot is up to D +8.9, Democrats’ largest lead this cycle.One potential cause of this upward trajectory? Gas (and diesel) prices. We have a new post out about how rising fuel costs can explain some of Republicans’ electoral woes. -NS & EMD, 9/23/26

Maybe the economy is not as bad as you are hoping for, dic.
Sounds like you're leaning on the same mistake that Biden made ....telling people that despite what they are experiencing in their own lives, that the economy is actually good. No one is buying it when the main drivers of inflation and higher costs are solely attributable to one man's actions - actions that are the opposite of what he promised. The voters aren't that dumb.
Sounds like you think voters are dumb enough to forget the CPI rose 21% under Biden/dems - not to mention the open borders, dei and other fiascos that came with it.
Do you think what happened four years ago will be the driver for how people vote or will it be what's happening now?
But LOL that you believe DEI is a scare word for most Americans - that's a maga boogeyman Rivet.
48% to 61% of Americans expressing support or viewing workplace DEI initiatives favorably, depending on the specific phrasing of the poll. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...ded-dei-programs-political-correct-rcna196377
I'm convinced. I won't vote for Biden.
Glad I could help you, because otherwise you are dense enough to have written in his name.
Very well could be,.. experiences that bad are hard to forget.
What was, the scary DEI demon that most Americans aren't concerned about or the border?

Biden signs executive action drastically tightening border
He has faced political pressure as migrants have continued to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border.

If you're talking about cumulative CPI, Trump had just a big a hand in it as Biden did but got to step away before suffering the consequences. More important was where inflation was when Trump took over.
Inflation was 2.9% in the last full month of Biden's term. It's 3.4% now
2.9 < 3.4
Gas was $3.12 when Biden left office. It's $4.41 now
3.12 < 4.41
Not the flex you thought it was. Voters know...
I actually don't think voters remember because repubs are doing a lousy job campaigning to remind them so far.What was, the scary DEI demon that most Americans aren't concerned about or the border?

Maybe it's because Biden is no longer in power and has no control over anything?
Weak sauce.
They were dem policies, not Biden's. He didn't understand what was happening.Maybe it's because Biden is no longer in power and has no control over anything?
Weak sauce.
How are they Dem policies?
Are you saying Dems want to reopen the border and let immigrants stream through without vetting? Was that an Obama policy?
And are you telling me Dems will spend more than Trump?
Day-to-day spending in 2025 and 2026 remains higher than nine of the last ten years. Only the emergency relief era of 2021 surpasses current spending levels. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-promised-cuts-spent-200-billion-more/
The $3.8 trillion to $4.0 trillion in national debt added between January 2025 and October 2026 represents one of the fastest two-year debt accumulations in U.S. history and the most ever for two non-crisis years. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/debt-dashboard
The polling is accurate because the voters aren't dumb. They know who's responsible for our current situation
Call
I said they were dem policies during the Biden debacle, and repubs should be reminding voters of those horrible policies - some of which dem candidates and supporters still support.
Ok, then it's also fair to claim that Republicans support Insurrections when they lose elections and pathological lying because they still support Trump.
It didn't stop people from voting for Trump again, only for them to immediately regret it. Americans have very poor memories when it comes to politics.
