Trump’s approval ratings drop with Republicans as he deals with Epstein fallout and tariff concerns
Trump’s support continues to decline
- The president's approval ratings among Republicans have declined, with 13 per cent now disapproving, an increase from 5 per cent in January and 9 per cent in May.
- This drop is primarily linked to concerns over the fallout from the 'Epstein Files' and ongoing economic issues, including rising inflation and slower job growth.
- The president's economic approval rating with Republicans fell from 90 per cent in January to 79 per cent, and his handling of inflation dropped from 84 per cent to 72 per cent.
- Voters' perception of the president's trustworthiness also worsened, with the percentage of Republicans considering him untrustworthy doubling from 7 per cent in January to 14 per cent.
- The 'Epstein Files' controversy, including a Department of Justice memo on Epstein's death and reports of the president's name appearing in the files, has caused significant concern among his base.
