Trump Approval Falls, Support Erodes Across Coalition

President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped further, with recent polls showing overall approval at 40-42% and net approval between -11 and -14. Disapproval is especially high regarding his handling of the economy, tariffs, and immigration, as concerns mount over stock market volatility and recession risks. Trump's attempts to expand executive authority and punish universities are opposed by most Americans, including some Republicans. Recent data reveal that support is eroding not only among the public but also among previously less enthusiastic 2024 Trump voters and nonvoters. Compared to President Biden at the same point in his presidency, Trump’s ratings on major issues and overall performance are lower. This growing skepticism within his own coalition signals a challenging political landscape for Trump.
