Trump's Approval Rating Plummets to Record Low Amid Inflation Concerns
Former US President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to a record low of -18 points, according to a new Economist/YouGov survey. Inflation has emerged as the issue causing his support to erode the fastest.
Trump's handling of the economy, particularly inflation, is now his most significant weakness. A majority of Americans, 22%, cite inflation/prices as their top concern. This worry is most pronounced among women, younger voters, and highly educated individuals, all of whom disapprove of Trump's performance more than their counterparts.
Trump's approval ratings have also taken a hit in states that previously supported him strongly. In Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, his net approval has now dipped below zero, ranging from -14 to -22 points. This shift is particularly notable as it indicates a loss of support even in his former strongholds.
Despite these trends, Trump's base remains largely loyal. White voters and Republican supporters continue to hold more balanced views of his policies. However, Black Americans express the highest disapproval, with younger voters also showing strong discontent.
Trump's approval ratings have reached an all-time low, driven primarily by concerns over inflation and a loss of support in key demographic groups and states. While his base remains relatively steadfast, the broader electorate's disapproval suggests potential challenges ahead for the former president's political future.
