Trump approval hits second-term low. Gen Z flees Trump over Epstein fallout and inflation

Trump’s approval is slipping hard but the press still calls it stable. The latest Gallup poll pins him at 37 percent approval and 58 percent disapproval. That is not a plateau. That is erosion.

Gallup reports a 10 point slide since January Quinnipiac finds just 17 percent support on Epstein files and 63 percent disapproval Gen Z disapproval hits 72 percent Male approval slips to 47 percent Harvard Harris shows 56 percent say tariffs are hurting the economy Marquette Law says 59 percent oppose his spending bill and 44 percent of Republicans agree

  • Quinnipiac shows only 17 percent support for his Epstein file response. A full 63 percent disapprove.
  • Gen Z turns sharply: 72 percent disapproval.
  • Male support slips to 47 percent, down from near-majority strength last cycle.
  • 56 percent blame tariffs for economic harm, while inflation discontent spreads.
  • His flagship spending bill is underwater: 59 percent oppose it, including 44 percent of his own party.

No breakdown of independents post-Epstein No swing-state data tied to inflation or tariffs No plan from Trump’s team to reverse the drift

“The tariffs really sucked. We looked du*b.” — Timothy Dwyer “I voted Trump three times. Doesn’t change anything in my life.” — Levi Fischer

This is not mood swing polling. It is collapse under friction. Tariffs are burning credibility. Inflation remains unresolved. Epstein fallout is still radioactive. Core GOP is intact but the swing ceiling is gone.
