Trump’s Plummeting Poll Numbers Spark “Fraud” Claims
President Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to a dismal 39%, significantly underwater on all issues, including his perceived strengths like immigration and the economy. Despite strong Republican support, this low approval poses a threat to Republican officials, particularly those in swing districts and purple states, potentially leading to significant midterm losses. Democrats are employing various strategies to highlight the Trump administration’s unpopular policies, including focusing on cuts to Social Security and medical research—a particularly potent issue given widespread public opposition to reduced funding. The combination of these factors presents a formidable challenge for the Trump administration and the Republican party.
