In recent surveys, Donald Trump's popularity among American voters has seen a sharp decline, with support dropping from 47% to 36% over the past year. This trend is particularly evident among major demographic groups, although there remain a few exceptions such as Republicans and conservative white Americans who still view him positively. Another survey conducted by the Washington Post indicates that 60% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling his presidency, marking the lowest approval ratings since the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Experts attribute this decline largely to voters' concerns over their personal finances and the overall economic situation, which has not shown clear improvement. Jan Hallenberg, an affiliated senior researcher at the Swedish Institute for Foreign Affairs, points out that many who initially supported Trump did so with the expectation that he could enhance the economy and lower prices. However, these expectations have not materialized, leading to growing dissatisfaction among his supporters.

As Trump prepares for upcoming election campaigns, the focus will likely remain on the economy and its impact on his political fortune. With such low approval ratings, the challenges ahead for Trump are substantial, and strategically addressing the economic concerns of voters may be crucial for his potential comeback in the electoral arena.
