In a concerning turn of events for Donald Trump, recent polls indicate a significant decline in his approval ratings, particularly in key policy areas such as the economy and immigration. Trump, who previously relied on his perceived strength in managing the economy and immigration issues, is now facing a notable erosion of support in these areas as he adopts more extreme policies.

Polling data shows Trump receiving his lowest approval ratings ever for his handling of the economy, with just 37% approval in a recent Reuters poll. Similarly, his immigration policies have led to a loss of support, erasing his previous advantage in this area. Overall, Trump’s unfavorable numbers have been steadily climbing since returning to office, reaching 52% in a recent New York Times analysis, with comparisons to past presidents showing him in a less favorable light.

The decline in Trump’s popularity cuts across various demographic groups, with negative views prevailing among men, women, persons of color, and both college-educated and non-college-educated individuals. Furthermore, Trump’s administration is facing criticism for its handling of the economy, trade, public health, and other critical issues.

The shift in public opinion can be attributed to various factors, including Trump’s trade policies, mass deportations, and overall governance approach. The President’s diminishing support is seen as a potential advantage for Democrats, especially with independent voters showing a significant swing away from Trump. As Republicans assess their prospects for the future, these polling trends suggest a challenging road ahead for Trump and his party in upcoming elections.
