Many groups that supported Donald Trump during his return to the presidency are expressing dissatisfaction with his performance, according to a new AP-NORC poll. The survey indicates that approval ratings have notably declined among key demographics such as Hispanic adults, younger voters, and men, revealing growing discontent as Trump approaches the one-year mark of his administration. The poll shows Trump's economic approval has slipped as the war in Iran impacts oil prices, with Hispanic adults reporting a 16 percentage point drop in approval since 2025.Among younger voters, there has been a notable decrease in Trump's support, particularly among women under 45, where only 20% approve of his economic handling. Meanwhile, disapproval is also rising within Trump's male voter base, falling from 47% to 38%. Despite these trends, Trump's core MAGA supporters remain largely loyal, with around 90% approving of his performance.The poll reflects a critical period for Trump’s presidency, as dissatisfaction seems to be building across multiple voter groups. Key issues, particularly surrounding the economy and immigration, are cited as contributing factors to this sentiment. As Trump continues to navigate his second term, it remains to be seen how he will address the concerns of a dissatisfied public.
