Trump's Support Among Independents Declines Sharply Ahead of Midterms

  • Support for Donald Trump among independent voters has dropped significantly, particularly among those without a college degree, as new polling shows a decline in approval ratings.
  • Independents now largely share negative views of Trump, with his approval among Hispanic independents falling from 46% to around 15% since his second term began.
  • Concerns over the economy, particularly inflation, are driving discontent among independents, with about 80% describing the U.S. economy as poor.
