Trump’s approval drops to 35% as Republican support weakens
Donald Trump’s presidential approval reached 35% in a survey released on Washington, reflecting a significant drop among his Republican supporters. Levantamento Reuters/Ipsos of four days, ending Monday, showed a decline of one percentage point in relation to the previous survey by the same institute this month. The current index is only above the lowest point of the presidency, 34%, recorded last month, and represents a downward trend since the initial 47% in January 2025.
The erosion of support hits the Republican hard core especially hard. Of the party’s voters, 79% approve of Trump’s performance, a drop from 82% in the previous survey and a drastic reduction compared to 91% at the beginning of the term. Simultaneamente, 21% of Republicans say they disapprove of the president, compared to just 5% shortly after inauguration in January 2025. Crescimento exponential in disagreement reveals significant internal fissure.
Gasolina face and conflict in Irã impact approval
High Preços at gas stations represents a central factor in the drop in support. Após Trump ordered attacks on Irã in February alongside Israel, the conflict disrupted a significant portion of global oil trade. Combustível for Americans has risen about 50% since then, hitting voter pockets and generating unrest among Republican allies defending congressional majorities in November’s midterm elections.
The cost of living, a promising theme of the 2024 campaign, has become a point of vulnerability. Entre Republicans, only 47% approve of Trump’s handling of the issue, while 46% disapprove, an almost perfect split. Among the population as a whole, only one in five approves of the president’s management of the cost of living, an alarming indicator for political strategy.
Republican Divisão on Core Policies
The survey, conducted online with 1,271 adults nationwide, had a margin of error of 3 percentage points for the general population and 5 points for Republicans. Estrategistas Republican politicians warn that falling popularity could signal weakening enthusiasm among party voters before November, when both Congresso chambers will be up for grabs.
Jeanette Hoffman, a Republican consultant, noted: “The biggest concern is that Republicans don’t seem as motivated to show up in midterm elections as Democrats right now.” Ela noted that the actual impact of the falling numbers remains unclear, considering that four in five Republicans continue to support Trump. “80% is still a pretty big number,” he said.
