Trump Faces Historic Low Approval Ratings Amid Political Turmoil
Ten months into his presidency, Donald Trump’s approval ratings have plunged,
with a national survey showing 34% approve and 61% disapprove of his performance.
Support among independents has dropped below 30%, a key concern as analysts warn this deficit is “extremely difficult to recover from” ahead of a re-election bid.
Trump reacted angrily on X, calling the polls “fake numbers from fake pollsters” and insisting, “The REAL numbers are incredible, and the people know it!”
White House aides described him as “fuming” and “storming around the West Wing,” demanding answers and accusing staff of failing to “fix the narrative.”
Despite criticism, Trump doubled down, declaring, “The Silent Majority is bigger than ever. Watch what happens next.”
Analysts note, “He doesn’t just reject bad news — he weaponizes it,” turning setbacks into a rallying cry for supporters.
Still, polls show 72% of Americans believe he has divided the country, and 64% say they do not trust him to tell the truth. Experts warn his path to re-election may hinge on expanding support beyond his base.
