Support from men has cratered from 48 % in April to 39 % now. Independents dropped too. Even areas where he was once strong, immigration and the economy, are now underwater. Gallup finds his overall approval at a low 37 % with independents falling to just 29 %

Trump’s bedrock image of being strong on the economy and immigration is cracking. Independents and urban voters once reliable are abandoning him. Meanwhile wealthy donors and corporate insiders remain untouched. It’s a widening chasm—his base stays steady at the top while main street bucks under rising costs.
Economic warning flags are flashing everywhere. Caterpillar missed earnings targets severely, signaling a slowdown in construction and heavy industry. Credit scores dropped across the country for the first time in years. These are signs of deepening pressure on middle-class families.
The broader pattern is clear: this is a system collapsing from the bottom up. Working families are squeezed by inflation and stagnating wages while the top continues to build wealth. Trump promised stability and strength but is now flunking on every front that once defined him.
If these numbers hold, the runway ahead looks short and rocky. The male vote evaporated, independents are gone, and economic confidence is sinking. The second term could collapse under the weight of its own failed promises.
