AJC poll: Trump's support sinks in Georgia as economic fears rise

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Georgia voters are sharply divided over President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda, with many opposing key pieces of his economic and policy platform as he marks his 100th day back in power, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll found.

Trump’s approval rating sits at just 43%, with one-third of supporters saying they “strongly” support his record so far. Of the 55% who disapprove of his performance, almost two-thirds are independents and about 12% are Republicans.

Though Trump’s standing is low for a president this early in a term, it echoes some of his ratings in previous AJC polls — a polarizing perception that didn’t stop him from carrying Georgia in 2016 and 2024 or sweeping battleground states last year.

Still, the poll spotlights deep anxieties about Trump’s leadership and agenda in a battleground state that helped the Republican sweep to a comeback victory, particularly involving his pledge to fight inflation and boost the economy — the top concern for many Georgians.
