THIS IS alarm bell ringing about the Trump sidewalk act…..
- Trump’s support among Republicans, while still very high, has slowly trended downwards since the start of his second term
- The January 26 – 28, 2025 poll found that 92% of Republicans and Independents who leaned Republican approved of Trump and 5% disapproved, a net approval of +87
- By mid-May, Trump’s approval among Republican-leaning Americans was 88% with 9% disapproving, a net approval of +79
- This week, 83% of Republican-leaning Americans approve of Trump, and 13% disapprove, a net approval of +70
- The 9-point drop in approval of Trump among Republican-leaning Americans, from 92% to 83%, is equivalent to an overall drop in approval of Trump of around 4% of all U.S. adult citizens
- The slow decline in Trump’s approval among Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents has been partially offset recently by a small increase in his approval among the 20% of Americans who lean toward neither party
- 33% of these non-leaning voters approve of Trump, and 55% disapprove, a -22 net approval
- That’s down from -3 net approval in this group at the start of Trump’s second term
- But this is the highest net approval Trump has received from Americans who lean toward neither party in more than two months: The May 31 – June 2 poll found that 35% of this group approved of Trump and 48% disapproved, a -14 net approval
- The share of Americans who view Trump as honest and trustworthy (31%) is at a new low since the start of his second term in January.
- Net approval of Trump’s handling of the Epstein investigations has changed little in recent weeks, and is currently at -39 (-82 among Democrats and +14 among Republicans)
- A majority of Americans think Trump knew some (27%) or a lot (44%) about the sex crimes committed by Epstein against underage girls before investigations into Epstein began; only 8% say he knew nothing about them…
…
- Most Americans have a dim view of the U.S. economy, but the share of Americans with negative views of the economy isn’t getting much bigger
- 36% of Americans say the U.S. economy is “poor”
- That’s the largest share saying the economy is poor in months — only 28% called the economy poor in early July— but is still smaller than the 41% who said this in mid-April, and below the share who said this for most of 2022, 2023, and 2024
- There also hasn’t been a notable increase in the last five months in the share of Americans who expect their personal finances to be worse a year from now (28%)….
