Trump's Immigration Policy Approval Hits New Low Amid Declining Male Support

President Trump's approval rating has dropped to net -22 points nationally, with independent voter support falling 27 points below water, raising concerns for the 2026 midterm elections.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump saw his approval rating fall to new second‑term lows, according to pollster Nate Silver's aggregation of national polling aggregations.
  • Analysts say the drop stems from independents shifting away, compounded by weakening support among non‑college voters and young male voters aged 18 to 29.
  • AP‑NORC's results show 36 percent approval and 62 percent disapproval, and Harry Enten, CNN's chief data analyst, warned, `When you lose the center of the electorate, you lose the American people`.
  • With slim GOP majorities, Republican pollster Whit Ayres warned that presidents below 50 percent approval often face major midterm seat losses, raising stakes for the 2026 midterm elections.
  • The White House responded that the president was "overwhelmingly elected by nearly 80 million Americans," while analysts noted Trump performs worse than Joe Biden and his own first term.
