New Polling Data Reveals Public Opinion on Trump Administration at Five-Month Mark

Donald Trump’s political standing is slipping faster than many expected. Just five months into his second term, his approval ratings have fallen sharply, even in regions that once formed the backbone of his support.

Issues that previously fueled his popularity, particularly immigration and the economy, are now becoming sources of frustration for voters. This shift challenges the core message his administration has relied on.

People close to Trump are reportedly alarmed by how quickly the decline has unfolded. What initially appeared to be normal political turbulence has intensified, driven by protests, unrest, and growing national fatigue with constant conflict.

Polling suggests the problem goes beyond individual policies. Dropping below the 40 percent approval mark often signals vulnerability, emboldening opponents while making allies more cautious. Each controversy now carries greater political cost.

Surveys, including recent Quinnipiac polling, point to a public mood defined less by outrage and more by exhaustion. Many voters feel worn down by what they see as endless crisis rather than the stability they were promised.

Immigration enforcement, once a galvanizing issue, is now linked to images of military-style presence in U.S. cities and expanding demonstrations. These scenes are reshaping perceptions, even among former supporters.

At the same time, ongoing economic pressures and rising living costs are weakening Trump’s reputation as a strong economic steward. As confidence erodes, each new clash deepens the sense of decline, leaving his presidency increasingly defined by loss of trust rather than control.
