Reuters poll is bad for Trump:

https://www.politicususa.com/p/a-key-group-just-abandoned-trump?utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&r=3aksq


Reuters reported on their new poll:

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows support for Trump’s handling of immigration has fallen significantly among men in recent weeks compared to late last year.

Male voters played an outsized role in Trump’s 2024 election victory, and throughout 2025 his immigration approval rating among men stayed close to 50%. But the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll survey showed 41% of men give him a thumbs up on the issue. Among women, Trump’s support on immigration has fallen from around 40% throughout most of 2025 to 35% in the latest survey.


This is bad news for Republicans if they want to have any hope of winning the midterm election...

I can't access the rest. I'd love to see what else is in there, but the drop in mens' approval of immigration is really significant.

There is and will always be the 30+ per cent that will always vote repuke. Doesn't matter how bad things are they never waver.

Granted fewer men voting Republican is by default good for us, I'd prefer they be actively coming to our side to get away from the red pill clowns

At his worse days, he manages to hold onto that 30-40% of loyalists.

I rarely see a Trump poll I truly am inspired by. 41% means one "good thing" and he's back up to 50%, even though the federal government has murdered innocent Americans in the street. The poll should be in the fucking teens unless I am to believe 4 in 10 American men approve of Nazism.

I don’t believe his approval rating. It’s been in the upper 30s to low 40s since last summer.

It’s got to be much lower than that, especially since all that’s transpired since then.

Nothing is changing with his Republican support.
