Trump's support among the working class in the US has fallen to a record 31%
The state of support for US President Donald Trump
According to Главком: The level of support for US President Donald Trump among the working class has dropped to a record low of 31%, according to a YouGov/Economist poll conducted at the end of December 2025. This indicates a significant decline in trust towards his policies among this social group.
Trump's net approval rating among individuals with an annual income of up to $50,000 has fallen to -34 points, pointing to serious problems in his relationship with voters. The majority, specifically 65% of working-class respondents, expressed dissatisfaction with the president's policies. Only 29% of those surveyed believe that the US is heading in the right direction, which may also indicate growing frustration.
Economic challenges and political consequences
Furthermore, the consumer expectations index has remained below the critical threshold for 11 consecutive months, highlighting the economic challenges facing Americans. After returning to power, Donald Trump issued over 140 executive orders, yet this seems to have had no impact on his popularity. Trump's support rating has decreased by 3% since April 2025, reaching 42%. This data may suggest that the president's administration is struggling to fulfill promises to voters, particularly among the working class.
These poll results reflect the growing discontent and economic difficulties affecting voters, especially within the working class context. The high level of dissatisfaction with Trump's policies could become a significant factor in upcoming elections as economic conditions continue to remain under pressure.
Monitoring changes in presidential support among various social groups will become an important indicator of the political situation in the country in the coming months.
