Trump Allies Freak Out That His Message Is Doomed [View all]

Some of Donald Trump’s closest allies are raising alarm over his messaging strategy, warning that it could backfire at this year’s midterm elections.

Recent polling shows the 79-year-old president has never been more unpopular. An ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos survey of 2,560 adults in late April found his overall approval at just 37 percent, a new low, while “strong” approval among Republicans has fallen to 45 percent from 53 percent in September, the lowest level across both of his terms.

Support for Trump is also slipping among key 2024 voter groups, including young voters, white non-college voters, and Latinos. And on core issues, his numbers are deeply negative, especially on the economy and his unpopular war on Iran.

With no clear end to that conflict, the administration is struggling to present a positive economic outlook—fueling growing Republican concern ahead of the midterms, especially as voters rank the economy as their top issue.
