In the recent 2024 election, Donald Trump fell short in gaining the support of Independent voters, with Vice President Kamala Harris edging him out 46% to 43%. Initially, Trump began his presidency with a net approval rating of +1 among this critical demographic, but the landscape has shifted dramatically in just a few months.
Currently, Trump’s approval rating among Independents has plummeted to a staggering net of -22. This marks the lowest approval rating for any president at this juncture in their term, as recorded in polling history.
CNN’s Harry Enten provided insight into this rapid decline:
Examining the economic sentiment and Trump’s net approval rating reveals a concerning trend. Back in January, he was slightly above water with Independents, boasting a +1 approval. Fast forward to now, and he’s suffered a jaw-dropping -29 point drop in less than three months.
The message that Donald Trump is conveying is resonating poorly with Independents, leading to a historic abandonment of his support. In stark contrast to his previous presidency, where his economic approval was around zero, he now finds himself at an alarming -29 points.
