Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Nosedives With Women Before Midterms
Two surveys show the president struggling with female voters as affordability concerns sharpen the GOP’s midterm challenge.
President Donald Trump's approval rating among women has significantly declined as the midterms approach, according to recent polling data. His net approval among women dropped by 14 points between June and August, reaching 34 percent approval and 64 percent disapproval in ActiVote's latest survey. This decline matters as women are a key demographic in midterm elections, and dissatisfaction extends beyond Republican-leaning groups.
Pollsters suggest that women are frustrated with rising costs of living and believe Trump has failed to fulfill campaign promises to lower costs. Democrats are showing greater enthusiasm to vote in the midterms, potentially altering the traditional turnout patterns. The data indicates a significant gap in approval ratings between men and women, with women disapproving of Trump's performance at a higher rate.
Despite the administration's defense of economic progress, Republican women are increasingly demanding action on affordability and are looking for candidates who can deliver on these issues.
