Trump's approval hits historic low as GOP insiders warn of slipping races
A poll shows Donald Trump's approval at 32%, the lowest in its tracking of his terms, while GOP operatives say races in North Carolina and Georgia are becoming vulnerable.
Donald Trump’s overall approval has fallen to 32%, the lowest level recorded for either of his presidencies, and only 73% of Republicans still approve of him. His rating on the cost-of-living issue has dropped to 17%, another historic low. GOP operatives reportedly said the electoral outlook in North Carolina and Georgia is slipping away, with some admitting that Trump’s setbacks have left the party vulnerable in key red districts.
One operative described the situation as “the bottom is beginning to fall out.” Democratic strategist Morgan Jackson explains that Trump’s decline among independents is an under-appreciated factor that could shape long-term political dynamics, yet he predicts the North Carolina race will remain extremely close.
Why it matters
Trump's declining popularity threatens GOP prospects in pivotal Southern states, potentially reshaping upcoming elections.
