Trump’s Approval Ratings Hit New Low — but He’s Not Backing Down
Poll Numbers Drop
New YouGov data shows Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 41%, with 52% disapproval — his lowest since returning to office.
Support among Republicans remains high at 82%, but independents have largely turned away,
with only 32% approval. Swing-state numbers are also slipping: Ohio 48%, Iowa 46%, Florida below 50%.
“The Polls Are Rigged”
Trump dismissed the results, telling Fox News,
“You’ll see the numbers change… garbage from bad pollsters.”
On Truth Social, he added, “The fake news loves their fake polls…
but the people know the truth — the country is winning again.”
Cracks Within His Base
Analysts warn the decline could cost Republicans in the midterms.
“When approval drops below 45%, lawmakers start to calculate differently,” said historian Elaine Berns.
Suburban voters and moderates are turning away, citing constant conflict and economic uncertainty.
Defiance and Belief
Despite slipping numbers, Trump remains confident:
“Gas is cheaper, crime is down, factories are coming back.”
For his loyalists, he’s still a fighter against “fake news” and elites.
