Trump's approval rating falls more steeply among men

Donald Trump's approval rating is falling more quickly among men than women, according to recent polls. Overall, 48 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, while 49 percent disapprove. Historically, men have shown stronger support for Republicans, making them a vital group for Trump's campaign. In the 2024 election, 55 percent of men supported Trump, while 45 percent of women did. Recent surveys show that Trump's approval among men has dropped significantly. A recent poll found only 48 percent of men approved of him, down from 54 percent just a few weeks earlier. In contrast, the approval rating for women has remained steady at 47 percent. Other polls highlight a similar trend. For example, a survey by Emerson College reported Trump’s net approval among men dropping from +18 points to +9 points within a week. Among women, the change was much smaller. A Quinnipiac poll also showed a decline in Trump's male support, with disapproval rising from 38 to 43 percent. Trump has faced growing dissatisfaction over his handling of key issues, especially the economy. A recent NBC News poll indicated that 54 percent of Americans disapprove of his economic policies. Among men, 43 percent disapprove, up from 34 percent previously, while women's disapproval has only slightly increased. As Trump plans to impose new tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, concerns about rising inflation continue. Experts warn these tariffs could exacerbate economic issues and provoke retaliation from other countries. Looking ahead, Trump's approval rating may continue to fluctuate based on upcoming events, including negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the economic fallout from his tariff policies.
