Republican Party support has decreased under President Donald Trump
US: According to a recent survey of voters’ intentions to vote in Congress, support for the Republican Party has decreased under President Donald Trump.
Early warning signs of shifting public sentiment against Trump and his plans include negative surveys. He may be convinced to alter his path or risk losing the support of the public if there is a persistent pushback to his early presidential activities, which included enacting tariffs and issuing a number of executive orders.
Sustaining public support is also vital to Republicans in Congress, who control a slender majority in the House of Representatives. They may lose control of the lower house if they lose seven seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
According to a poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted on April 16 for Napolitan News Service by RMG Research, a public opinion research firm founded by conservative pollster Scott Rasmussen, 48 percent of respondents would vote for the Democrat on their ballot and 44 percent would vote for the Republican.
When considering those who would lean Democratic or Republican, the Democratic advantage climbed to 50 percent, while Republican support increased to 45 percent.
The pollsters say this is the seventh swing point since February. Republicans led the Democrats by seven points, at 51 percent to 44 percent, before toump’s inauguration on January 20. The poll’s margin of error was within 3.1 percentage points.
According to a Napolitan News Service survey conducted in April, 42% of respondents said they trusted Democrats more than Republicans on inflation, while 38% said they trusted Republicans more than Democrats on the same topic.
According to a survey conducted on April 13, the GOP was seen as less reliable than Democrats with the country’s finances for the first time since May 2021.
According to a CNBC poll of 1,000 Americans, 43 percent approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 55 percent disapproved—marking the first time a CNBC study showed the president with a net negative on the economy.
“It is my opinion, increasingly, in view of the extremely negative ratings experienced by a ReRepublican-d Administration, it does appear that, barring some highly unlikely unforeseen circumstances, the midterm elections will bring about a major shift in the makeup of the House of Representatives, with an overwhelming victory for Democratic House candidates,” William F. Hall, an adjunct professor of political science and business at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, previously told the media report.
This opinion is in line with the unfavorable assessments of a Republican-led administration in almost every important area pertaining to political performance, such as the status of the economy, employment, inflation, and, most importantly, the general lack of hope among Americans. It is anticipated that political sentiment will continue to shift in the run-up to the November 2026 midterm elections.
