Donald Trump faces declining approval ratings among Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections.

Donald Trump is experiencing a significant decline in approval ratings among Republican voters as the administration faces pressure from economic concerns and the ongoing war in Iran. Recent polls from Economist/YouGov and ActiVote show Republican approval of Donald Trump falling to 79 percent, a sharp drop from 86 percent in January 2025. This erosion of support is particularly notable among non-MAGA Republicans, whose approval rating plunged 13 points in a single week. Economic factors, such as rising gas prices and falling consumer sentiment among Republicans, are contributing to the user's party's struggle. The administration announced that the war in Iran, launched without congressional authorization, has remained unpopular with support staying below 40 percent. Democratic strategist James Carville noted that the country is starting to turn away from Donald Trump after a decade of focus. With Democrats showing greater enthusiasm for the turn out, the GOP faces a difficult midterm fight as core Republican voters risk staying home.
