Trump’s approval rating has declined significantly in recent weeks, now ranging from the low 30s to low 40s as of mid-April 2026. CNN’s Poll of Polls from April 12 reports his approval at 37%, with 62% disapproving. RealClearPolitics shows a similar trend, with approval near 41%. These figures are lower than earlier in his second term, when his net approval was about -13 in early 2026, and have since deteriorated.
The decline has not been abrupt, but it has accelerated due to economic and foreign policy challenges. His economic approval is particularly low, with some polls showing only 31% approval. Even former supporters are now less satisfied with his overall performance.
The events you referenced are factual and have contributed to the backlash.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5, 2026. This came after a major controversy involving two high-profile deaths of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis during aggressive ICE operations in January. Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother, was shot by an ICE agent on January 7 during an enforcement action. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was fatally shot by federal agents on January 24 during protests. Videos and witness accounts questioned the use of force and contradicted the administration’s initial claims of “domestic terrorism” or self-defense. Noem defended the operations but faced criticism from both parties, including some Republicans. Trump replaced her with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. These incidents led to nationwide protests and hurt the administration’s reputation on immigration enforcement.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi was dismissed on April 2, 2026. While Trump stated she was moving to the private sector, reports indicate he was dissatisfied with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which raised concerns about transparency and political fallout. He was also frustrated by the slow progress in prosecuting political rivals. Deputy AG Todd Blanche is now serving as Acting Attorney General. These developments have fueled perceptions of internal disorder and a lack of accountability, particularly regarding immigration and DOJ priorities.
Several prominent MAGA supporters are now publicly criticizing Trump.
You are correct. The Iran conflict, which has intensified in recent months, is now the primary source of tension.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Congresswoman, has publicly distanced herself from Trump. She resigned from Congress earlier this year following disagreements. She now describes the Iran actions as “evil and madness,” claims Trump is “not the same man” she once supported, and criticizes what she calls “America Last” policies instead of “America First.” She has referenced the 25th Amendment and predicts significant GOP losses in the 2026 midterms.
- Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, and others, such as Candace Owens, have strongly criticized the Iran war, arguing it contradicts isolationist and non-interventionist values and violates Trump’s campaign promises. Trump responded on Truth Social, calling them “stupid people,” “nut jobs,” and “low IQ losers.” This public dispute has revealed significant divisions within the broader MAGA and media communities.
Why are so many Americans, including former strong supporters, now withdrawing their support for Trump? Polls and news reports indicate that multiple factors are contributing to this shift. While Trump retains a loyal core base, the decline in support is evident, particularly among independents, working-class voters, and some 2024 supporters.4.
- Economic struggle. Economic challenges, particularly high gas prices and the rising cost of living, are the primary concerns cited in polls. Gas prices now exceed $4 per gallon nationwide, partly due to the Iran conflict disrupting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Inflation and daily expenses remain elevated. Trump’s economic approval is at its lowest point of his term, with many voters attributing this to his policies, tariffs, and the war’s impact. Even some Republicans and former supporters are affected. A foreign policy: Wars can sometimes rally support, but this one hasn’t. Many see it as costly, open-ended, and against “America First” isolationism. It’s not boosting ratings and has alienated the more anti-interventionist parts of the right (like Carlson et al.). Public skepticism about Controversies over immigration enforcement, like the ICE-related deaths in Minnesota and similar cases, has caused backlash even among people who want tougher border policies. Critics from both sides have pointed to the violence, the way things looked, and what they see as going too far. Videos have challenged the official story. To moderates and some core supporters, the administration now seems chaotic or extreme. moderates and some ba. Frequent changes in the administration, including the dismissals of Noem and Bondi and earlier issues such as the Epstein files and fallout from tariffs and shutdowns, contribute to perceptions of dysfunction. Some view these actions as holding others accountable, while others interpret them as signs of instability or unfulfilled promises.ng promises.
- Trump’s personal style, including perceived arrogance, frequent self-praise such as calling himself “the one and only,” and attacks on critics and former allies, is as you described. For some strong supporters, this behavior now appears driven by ego rather than substance, leading to a decline in support. Polls indicate that his personal unpopularity compounds dissatisfaction with his policies, especially when he targets respected conservative figures.the drop in support shows that real-world problems are affecting people’s finances and beliefs more than many expected. Economic struggles, war fatigue, problems with key issues like immigration, and ongoing feuds are all adding up. Some MAGA supporters now say Trump isn’t delivering the outsider change they were hoping for. Public opinion can shift quickly, for example, if gas prices decrease or a ceasefire holds. However, current data indicate negative trends. Your change of heart due to Trump’s perceived arrogance is echoed by other former supporters in news reports. It is common for enthusiasm to wane over style when results are mixed.

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral election, marking a historic moment as the first Muslim and youngest mayor in over a century. His victory is seen as a significant win for progressive politics and democratic socialism in the city .
Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, built his campaign around the central issue of affordability in one of the world’s most expensive cities. His platform resonated with voters, particularly those from lower- and middle-income backgrounds, who supported him by a significant margin .
The election was noted for its high voter turnout, with a substantial increase in young voter registration, which likely contributed to Mamdani’s success. This generational shift in voting patterns is seen as a potential indicator of changing political dynamics in the city .
Mamdani’s victory has been celebrated by progressives but has also drawn criticism from conservative figures, including former President Donald Trump and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described his win as “the biggest victory for socialism in the history of the country” .
In his victory speech, Mamdani targeted Trump, saying, “Donald Trump, since I know you are watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up.” He ended his speech with a burst of Bollywood energy, concluding with the iconic anthem “Dhoom Machale,” reflecting his Indian roots and resonating with his diverse supporter base .
The campaign was marked by a groundbreaking digital strategy, with Mamdani producing a constant stream of social media videos and connecting with supporters in multiple languages. This approach helped him reach a broad audience and address the high cost of living, which was a key issue for many voters .
Mamdani’s win also signifies a political shift in New York City, as he defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. This election is seen as a rejection of the political establishment and a call for more progressive leadership .

Kamala Harris, whose full name is Kamala Devi Harris, is an experienced prosecutor from California. She ran as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in 2024 but lost to Donald Trump. Most of her career has been in public prosecution and government roles. She has not worked in the private sector or held management positions outside government.
Background and Rise in Politics
Kamala Harris was born in Oakland in 1964 to Donald Harris, a Jamaican economics professor, and Shyamala Gopalan, an Indian breast cancer researcher. After her parents divorced when she was seven, her mother raised her in the Bay Area before moving to Montreal. Harris earned a degree in Political Science and Economics from Howard University in 1986 and a law degree from UC Hastings in 1989.
Kamala Harris Career In Government and Law Enforcement
Throughout her career, Harris has focused on government and law enforcement. She served as a Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County from 1990 to 1998, then worked as a prosecutor in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office from 1998 to 2003.
- In 2010, Harris made history as California’s first female, first African American, and first South Asian American Attorney General.
- She was re-elected in 2014 and continued in the role.
- After serving as Attorney General for four years, Harris was elected as California’s U.S. Senator in 2016.
- After winning the 2020 elections, Harris became the first African American woman to serve as Vice President, after being chosen as Joe Biden’s running mate and winning the election. leap into politics as a prosecutor in the mid-level Democratic stronghold of California’s San Francisco.
- Because of her law enforcement credentials, she was favored in the elections under the California Democratic political landscape at the time.
Harris has spent her entire career in public prosecution and elected positions, without experience in the private sector as a business professional. She was the California assembly member and the San Francisco mayor, and Kamala Harris was in a romantic relationship for a year.
Because of the relationship and despite the huge age gap, she was appointed to a few commissions, which provided her with her first major public-sector roles in California and later served as her launching pad.
He admits even that small role in her career. She has said no to him for anything and distanced herself during her public roles. She was temporarily dating a grandfather, and this was part of a political marriage to multiply ‘old creepy men’, all of which was before her elections.
Record in Office: Accomplishments and Criticisms
Harris has faced significant scrutiny during her time in office, with critics from various backgrounds sharing their opinions on her work as a prosecutor. Below is an outline of her notable achievements.
- As San Francisco District Attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris created a rehabilitation program for first-time non-violent offenders, established a unit to prosecute environmental hate crimes, and started a program to reduce truancy.
- She also cleared homicide case backlogs and ended the use of the death penalty. Some critics argued that her truancy policies were too strict.
- As California Attorney General from 2011 to 2017, Harris secured a multi-billion-dollar settlement from mortgage lenders to protect homeowners’ rights.
- Her office advanced progressive changes in privacy and technology laws and expanded reentry programs.
- However, she faced criticism for initially opposing marijuana legalization, her stance on prison labor, and her handling of the death penalty in certain cases.
- As a U.S. Senator from 2017 to 2021, Harris was known for supporting the Dream Act, marijuana legalization, tax and healthcare reform, and gun control.
- She also gained attention for her pointed questions during public hearings, including those with Jeff Sessions and Brett Kavanaugh.
Vice President (2021-2025): As Vice President from 2021 to 2025, Harris cast 33 tie-breaking votes in the Senate, helping to pass the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act. She led efforts to address the causes of Central American migration, including regional visits, anti-corruption task forces, and partnerships with the private sector.
Harris also managed foreign policy trips to Ukraine and Israel/Gaza. Her approval ratings were often low, and she faced criticism for high staff turnover.
Single-digit IQ is unfair, as she is a career prosecutor and the Congresswoman, who has done measurable advocacy work and holds great firsts as the first woman to hold the position, the first Black, and the first South Asian American Vice President. Her record, like that of other politicians, is a mixed bag, with some initiatives commendable and others rightly criticized.
2024 Presidential Campaign and Spending
After Joe Biden stepped down on July 21, 2024, Harris became the sole nominee following a virtual roll call. Her campaign and affiliated committees raised and spent about $1.15 billion, with total spending reaching around $2 billion, making it one of the most expensive presidential campaigns in U.S. history.
She raised $1 billion in three months and set a record for single-day fundraising. Over $650 million was spent on advertising during her final campaign.
Harris lost the election to Trump, receiving 226 electoral votes. She won several traditional Democratic strongholds, including California, New York, and Illinois. Contrary to some claims, she did not lose every state; the statement that she “did not win a single state” is incorrect.
Losing an election despite high spending is common in American politics. Both parties often spend hundreds of millions, or even billions, in close races. Fundraising alone does not decide the outcome. In 2024, factors like voter priorities, the economy, inflation, and immigration played important roles.
Current Status and Political Ambitions (as of April 2026)
Harris left office in January 2025. Since then, she has criticized the Trump administration and supported Democratic candidates. She has also earned income through a talent agency and media contracts. As she considers her plans for 2028, she is weighing the political climate and the state of American society.
Harris has focused on building a strong political network, connecting with people who have political ambitions and financial influence.
She is a polarizing figure in American politics, with most of her supporters on the left, who see her as a champion for marginalized groups. Her opponents are mainly on the right and disagree with her positions. Despite losing several elections, Harris remains active and influential in the Democratic Party.
