'Love him or hate him’ — but most hate him: pool of Trump voters craters in this Trump state
President Donald Trump won the White House in 2024 by bashing down the “blue-state firewall” that frequently falls into Democrats’ corner. And Wisconsin voters were among those swing-state voters who definitely swung to Trump that November.
But the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports voters who helped give Trump a second term have had it with him.
“Love him or hate him. That has been a truism for years about President Donald Trump – that America is roughly divided between a big bloc of Trump lovers and a big bloc of Trump haters. But in one important respect this is becoming less true all the time,” reports the Sentinel, citing a recent state survey.
In a new national poll by the Marquette University Law School, the share of adults who “strongly” approve of Trump’s performance as president has sunk to 17 percent – less than a fifth of the population. Meanwhile, the share of adults nationally who “strongly” disapprove of his performance has risen to 48 perent – roughly half the population.
The bad numbers have “big implications for the November midterms, when turnout will be a critical factor,” reports Sentinel reporter Craig Gilbert.
The remaining third of respondents contain were more mixed in their views, either “somewhat” approving “somewhat” disapproving. But when you add all the numbers together, Trump’s overall rating is 60 percent disapproving in the poll.
“These are the president’s worst numbers among the eight national surveys Marquette has done in Trump’s second term,” Gilbert wrote.
Passion is the name of the midterm game, said Gilbert, but that passion is not currently the president’s friend. By extension, it also is not the friend of his party.
“In other words, the segment of the electorate that Republicans can most reliably count on to turn out for the party in November has been declining in numbers, and the president’s hardcore opposition has been growing,” said Gilbert.
