Immigration, another central focus of Trump’s second term, has seen falling support as well. Following a year marked by controversial ICE raids and widely circulated images, only 36 percent of respondents believe he is handling immigration effectively. Disapproval is growing more pronounced overall. A Quinnipiac University survey found that 54 percent of voters believe Trump has overstepped his presidential authority since returning to office.
Signs of political vulnerability are already emerging. Democrats have flipped 25 state legislative seats this year and secured several high-profile victories, signaling potential momentum. If current trends continue, Democrats may be well positioned to make significant gains in the upcoming midterm elections.
