      41.4% of voters approve of him still

      He’s continuing to deliver the Red Meat. This segment of the population considers the hellish war on Iran a perk, the CSAM a sign of his virility, and the ICE raids a sign that he’s serious about doing a full blown pogrom against brown people.

That advantage narrowed to +26 (58 percent approve, -32 percent disapprove) by September 2025, before slipping further to +10 (55 percent approve, -45 percent disapprove) in February 2026.
