Pew\u2019s data reveals confidence in his leadership, ethics, and basic competence has dropped across all six key measures, with the steepest declines among Republicans themselves. Fewer supporters now believe he has the mental or physical fitness for the job, and many say his presidency turned out worse than they expected.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\"><\/div>\n<p>Other polls echo the same pattern. Majorities disapprove of his handling of immigration and nearly half of respondents say the country is worse off under his second term. Trump\u2019s response has been to attack the polls as \u201cfake\u201d and \u201cfraudulent,\u201d insisting he actually won in a landslide and that the media is conspiring against him. But beyond the rhetoric, one fact remains: the most damaging verdict is now coming from inside his own camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After years of near-automatic loyalty, the numbers show something Trump\u2019s base rarely admitted out loud: doubt.
