Recent Survey Shows Public Sentiment Toward Trump
The numbers didn’t just dip. They dropped. And behind them is a country holding its breath.
Confidence in President Donald Trump has slipped into dangerous territory, according to a new national survey. Approval is down sharply, frustration is up, and something deeper is brewing beneath the headlines. This isn’t about one scandal or one speech. It feels like fatigue. And voters are starting to notice.
Trump’s numbers aren’t just slipping. They’re flashing warning signs. A new CNN/SSRS poll puts his approval at 37%, with nearly two thirds of Americans now disapproving. What makes this drop dangerous isn’t the size alone, but the spread. The decline cuts across age, income, and even parts of his own base, suggesting something deeper than a bad news cycle.
The reason shows up everywhere. Nearly 70% of Americans say the country is doing badly. Inflation, groceries, rent, insurance, and basic bills dominate daily conversations, both at kitchen tables and online. Almost half of voters now rank the cost of living as the nation’s top problem. Immigration, once Trump’s defining issue, barely breaks through the noise anymore.
Concerns go further than prices. Majorities believe Trump’s policies have hurt the economy and weakened America’s standing abroad. Six in ten say he is pushing executive power too far. That perception matters, because once voters start questioning limits and stability, confidence tends to collapse fast rather than fade slowly.
The political impact could be decisive. With midterms approaching, far more voters say they plan to vote against Trump than for him. That gap points to an energised opposition, not simple indifference. Trump calls the polls fake, but even loyal supporters quietly admit the mood feels different this time. Less outrage. More fatigue. And fatigue, in politics, is often the hardest problem to reverse.
