Team Trump

They still like him:

“Despite several unpopular domestic and foreign policies, President Trump still holds an entrenched base of voters who, if given the chance, say they would vote for him again,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. Trump’s job approval rating stands at 45%, with an equal 45% disapproving and 10% remaining neutral. The data suggests a sharply divided electorate, with few signs of voter movement since the 2024 election. Economic issues remain a point of concern. A plurality of respondents—49%—say Trump’s economic policies are making things worse, while 29% say they are improving conditions. Only 37% approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, with 49% disapproval. The public is also split on the overall performance of Trump’s second term. Fifty-two percent characterize it as “more of a failure,” while 48% say it is a success. Party identification continues to shape those views: 86% of Republicans describe the term as a success, compared to 88% of Democrats who call it a failure. Independents break slightly negative, 55% to 45%. Despite the criticism, the poll reveals minimal regret among Trump’s 2024 supporters—only 7% expressed any.
