Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Approval Rating Falls Sharply in New Fox News Poll
Caption: Trump Approval Rating Falls Sharply in New Fox News Poll. A new Fox News poll shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to one of the lowest points of his second term, reflecting growing public frustration over the economy and inflation. The survey, conducted between May 15 and May 18, found that more than half of Republican respondents disapproved of Trump’s handling of the economy, an unusual warning sign within his own party base. The decline appears tied to rising fuel prices and broader economic uncertainty following the administration’s military involvement in Iran, which has disrupted global energy markets. Fox News polling also showed widespread pessimism about the national economy, with many voters saying Trump’s policies are hurting rather than helping economic conditions. Support has reportedly weakened among several traditionally strong Trump constituencies, including rural voters, white working-class men, and non-MAGA Republicans. The slump could create new challenges for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterm elections, where control of Congress is expected to hinge heavily on economic sentiment. Despite the negative polling, Trump continues to maintain strong loyalty among core MAGA supporters. The White House argues that current economic pain is part of a longer-term strategy aimed at stabilizing growth and energy markets.
