Trump Voters Turn Away From President as Approval Rating Hits New Low
A new UMass poll found that 1 in 6 voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2024 wouldn't vote for him again.
President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a record low, with a new University of Massachusetts Amherst poll indicating that 64 percent of Americans disapprove of his job performance. This decline in support is concerning for the Republican Party, as it faces challenges in key races to control the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Historically, low approval ratings have led to losses for the president's party in midterms, a trend that may repeat itself this year. The poll found that only 22 percent of Americans believe Trump has handled inflation well, while 75 percent said he has not handled the issue well. Similarly, on jobs, 31 percent said he has performed at least somewhat well, but 63 percent said he has not handled it well.
Despite the president's attempts to dismiss the polling, many Americans remain skeptical of his handling of the economy and disapprove of his performance.
