Poll Finds Only 19% of Republicans Enthusiastic About Trump’s Term
The survey found 58% of Republicans were optimistic, but only 19% were enthusiastic, as concerns over Iran and the economy weighed on Trump.
- A CNN/SSRS poll conducted July 23-27 found President Donald Trump's job approval at 34%, matching his career low, with only 19% of Republicans enthusiastic about the remainder of his second term.
- Mounting economic strain and an unpopular war in Iran have bogged down Trump's second term, as voters increasingly link the conflict and stubborn 3.5% inflation to worsening financial conditions.
- Public dissatisfaction extends across key policy areas, with only 28% approving of Trump's handling of the Iran conflict and even lower ratings—25% on inflation and 21% on gas prices.
- Republican strategists warn the base's lack of enthusiasm could depress midterm turnout, while Democrats show higher motivation, with 57% stating they are more energized than in past elections.
- Consistent findings across multiple high-quality surveys—AP-NORC , Quinnipiac , and The Economist/YouGov —corroborate this downward trend, reinforcing the CNN results as a broad, verifiable slump.
