Pew Research Poll--Confidence in Trump Dips, and Fewer Republicans Support his Policies

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Interesting...quite a rapid drop among Republicans. Is this a difference of policy..or worry about the mid-terms?

Confidence in Trump Dips in 2026, and Fewer Now Say They Support His Policies and Plans

Only 27% of Americans say they support all or most of Trump's policies – down since last year, with the change coming entirely among Republicans.

www.pewresearch.org

A year into his second administration, Americans’ views of President Donald Trump – already more negative than positive – have continued to slip.

• Trump’s approval rating stands at 37%, down from 40% in the fall.
• By more than two-to-one, Americans say the administration’s actions have been worse than they expected (50%) rather than better (21%).
• Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans.

While overall confidence in Trump’s ethics in office was already relatively low last February (29%), it has declined 8 percentage points since. And nearly all of that drop has come among Republicans: At the beginning of Trump’s second term, a 55% majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they were confident that Trump acts ethically in office, but that share now stands at 42%.

There’s a similar pattern across all six qualities we asked about.
For example, 60% of Republicans said last February that they were extremely or very confident Trump respects the country’s democratic values – it’s 52% today. And while 66% of Republicans say he has the mental fitness to do the job, that’s down from three-quarters last year.

Democrats’ confidence in Trump on these measures remains very low.

Even Fox is doing an "oh shit".

Gaslighting is effective and is the Democrat's only hope. They have no ideas other than "protect illegals at ALL COSTS".

He went from America First and negotiating economic deals to something else that few of his voters cared for.

He still has a chance to reclaim his legacy but it must be demands of these foreign companies to keep their word and invest in America. Also, he is going to need to weaken China which is becoming more difficult when you take on so much debt.

If he can push for voter I.D and the removal of computer voting for federal elections (this always shocks me whenever I think about it), he will have something lasting beyond his term.

"Last you heard"....is not really all that cogent--Last I heard..was the very Pew report cited in the OP....and it says Trump's support from Republicans is dropping.
Now, I doubt that that is support for his core policies that is dropping....just support for HIM!

Trump fucked up BIGLY OP, and he knows it....

 

[Rogue AI]

President Harris approves of all these polls. Oh wait, it seems liberals learned nothing about the reliability of polls. Good luck in November, the polls are in your favor!

The most recent polls showed 46 & 48, up from the “average”. And, Rasmussen has actually been ranked third most accurate polling organization.

A reasonable person can say "I understand and I can agree with what you want to accomplish, but I don't like the way you're trying to accomplish it."

Such a position can only be complicated for someone who is hopelessly thick.

Sorry, I was wrong. They ranked #4 in accuracy.

Trump approval continues to fall

By January 2029, I want 20 million illegals to have been deported by this Trump administration.

If that does not happen, Trump was a failure.

Except..dumbshit..that the OP is about the PEW poll....not the RCP average.

BTW..not that it matters...I'm not, nor have I ever been, a registered Democrat.

One can be Left leaning or Right leaning..and not be a partisan at all.

"We're number 4" is not much of a rallying cry, now is it?

 

[Independent thinker]

"We're number 4" is not much of a rallying cry, now is it?

The ones you cited were lower than that. Not much of a rallying cry, now is it? But, being #4 out of 136 is pretty darn good.

In 2024....they were termed 4th...'most valuable'. Most valuable to whom??
I imagine that value is a relative thing. Does it include accuracy? Are we talking predictive polling or demographic polling?

Ahh..predictive..with the metric being the 2024 Presidential election cycle.

I suspect an unintended consequence of the election is that Rasmussan, whom all know to skew to the right, got lucky when Trump won, by the narrowest of margins.

They picked the winner, or, so it appears anyway.
