Trump Says Voters Are Angry With Republicans—But Not With Him. Here’s What Polls Show
Despite Trump’s claim, his approval stands at just 33%, far below where it was when he returned to the Oval Office for a second term last January.
In an interview released by Punchbowl News on Friday, former President Donald Trump stated that voters are frustrated with Republicans, but not with him. Trump expressed concerns about the support for his party while asserting that he receives "a tremendous vote." He questioned whether his voters would still support him if he didn't run for office.
According to a New York Times/Siena poll conducted in May, 64% of registered voters are dissatisfied with the Republican Party, including 23% of Republicans. However, Trump's approval rating among Republican voters stands at 73%, with only 27% disapproving. Despite Trump's claim that voters aren't angry with him, his overall approval rating is low, at 33%, according to AP-NORC polling from July, a decrease of 4 percentage points from June.
Recent surveys indicate that Democrats are leading over Republicans in generic ballot polls, with a 5-point gap that has widened to 8 points in recent months.
