Trump approval among independent voters hits new low: Poll

Trump’s net approval among independents hits -40, with 27% approval and 67% disapproval, signaling electoral challenges ahead, according to The Economist/YouGov poll.

  • On Tuesday, The Economist and YouGov weekly poll found President Donald Trump's net approval among independents fell to-40, with 27 approval and 67 disapproval.
  • Amid growing criticism, cost-of-living worries and policy disputes have weighed on Trump as he launched an affordability tour amid federal immigration agents shootings and Greenland proposal tensions.
  • The poll surveyed 1,684 U.S. adults from January 23 to January 26 with a margin of error 3.3 percent, showing last week independents' approval at 29 and disapproval at 61.
  • Independent voters often decide competitive races, so weak independent support is a potential headwind for the White House as the 2026 midterm cycle accelerates, and President Donald Trump called the poll `fake` on Truth Social Thursday.
  • Longer-Term polling indicates intra-party strain as only 75% of Republican voters approved his economic handling in November, down from 82% in July, with a sharp approval drop after the April 2 'Liberation Day' tariffs.
