Bombshell Poll Reveals Trump's MAGA Base Crumbling as Midterms Loom

Even his own supporters are cooling on him ahead of November. President Donald Trump's approval rating is plummeting, even among his most loyal bloc. A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll spells trouble for the party ahead of the midterms, showing Trump is stuck at 37 percent. Even more damning, though, is that a growing share of his own Republican base is losing enthusiasm for him. The erosion runs deepest among his most committed backers. A new low of just 15 percent of Americans say they 'approve strongly' of Trump, down from 19 percent in February, while 22 percent 'approve somewhat.' Just 33 percent of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, and only 29 percent approve of his conduct overseeing the war with Iran. Overall, Trump's disapproval rating sits at 61 percent, statistically unchanged from a previous survey, while his approval among registered voters is 40 percent. The Washington Post-Ipsos poll was conducted online July 8-13 among 2,648 U.S. adults nationwide, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points.
