February 12, 2026 at 8:30 am EST By Taegan Goddard
G. Elliot Morris: In 2024, the voters who knew the least about politics were some of Donald Trumps strongest supporters. One pre-election poll found Americans who didnt consume any news at all said theyd vote for him over Kamala Harris by a 20-point margin, 60% to 40%.
Today, the presidents support among low-knowledge voters has cratered to just 43%, according to a new analysis of data from our January Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll. The share of 2024 voters who now disapprove of the president is well over 55%.
According to our poll, low-knowledge voters backed Trump by a net margin of 11 points in 2024. Now, however, the same low-knowledge voters say they disapprove of the president by 13 points a 25-point shift away from the president.

When one cannot pay their bills they are quick to notice. Going to the grocery store helps with that, too.
