Trump’s Approval Rating Dips Further in New National Poll
Trump’s approval rating dropped during his second term, according to Quinnipiac University. A poll released this week suggests voters are losing interest in some crucial issues. More individuals are unhappy with Trump’s leadership as the country talks about him.
Only 37% of registered voters say Trump is doing well, down three points from July. Over half of respondents disliked his leadership. Trump is struggling to gain non-party support in autumn.
Republican support for Trump is declining, but his popularity is high. This is intriguing: 84% of Republican voters approve of his actions, yet 9% disagree. Democratic and independent voters, crucial to national campaigns, are fewer. Trump’s actions are unpopular with 58% of independents and 98% of Democrats.
President Trump lost support on crime, economy, and foreign policy. The study found 42% support for his criminal, 40% for his foreign, and 39% for his economic policies. These numbers reveal people no longer trust Trump to solve America’s major issues.
The Quinnipiac study examined Trump’s decision to strengthen the D.C. National Guard. 56% of voters oppose sending the Guard to the capital, while 41% do. 86% of Republicans support deployment, 93% of Democrats and 61% of independents oppose it. Analysts said independent voters were against the measure, making it less likely to win votes from non-Trump supporters.
Recent national polling on Trump’s law enforcement and public safety programs supports this. At the same time, Ipsos and Reuters reported that 46% of Americans opposed sending the National Guard to D.C., while 38% supported it. Those numbers imply Trump’s crime and safety strategy hasn’t won over supporters.
Quinnipiac University sampled 1,220 voters from August 21–25. Mistakes are 3.4% likely. As people discuss crime, the economy, and Washington, Trump’s support is declining in polls.
As the political landscape shifts, Trump is having problems reaching non-Republicans, according to the latest survey. Democrats and independents dislike Trump. His capacity to persuade could define his leadership in the coming months.
