A new Fox News poll reveals crushing findings for former President Donald Trump, signaling deepening voter dissatisfaction with his economic policies and leadership ahead of the midterm elections.
According to the poll, Trump’s approval rating on the economy stands at just 34%, with 66% of respondents disapproving. On inflation, the numbers are even more dire: only 28% approve, while 72% disapprove. The survey also marks a significant shift in public perception, as Democrats now hold the advantage on economic issues for the first time in years—a critical milestone in the political landscape.
Amid these troubling poll numbers, Trump’s advisers are reportedly scrambling to develop a new midterm strategy, desperate to reverse the tide before November. The pressure is mounting as top GOP senators warn of impending internal purges within Trump’s inner circle.
One Republican senator, speaking to Politico on condition of anonymity, revealed the growing tension within Trump’s camp, stating:
“He’s in a bad mood, so he’s letting a lot of them go.”
To dissect the implications of these findings, we spoke with G. Elliott Morris, author of the influential Strength in Numbers Substack and creator of his own polling analysis. Morris provided expert insight into what the numbers truly signify, why Trump’s political standing has long been weaker than mainstream pundits acknowledge, and the critical steps Democrats must take to secure control of the House and Senate in the upcoming elections.
