TRUMP IN FREEFALL as SHOCK POLL Shows 80% Want Him GONE.000

A political “earthquake” has struck Washington following the release of the latest public opinion polls. No longer mere speculation, data from CNN, AP, and Pew Research are painting a catastrophic picture for Donald Trump’s second term: A President increasingly isolated within his own country, facing a disapproval rating that has reached historic levels.

1. The 40% Threshold: On the Precipice of Failure

As of January 2026, Donald Trump’s approval rating is “stuck” at 40%. To put this into perspective, this is a record low for any U.S. President at this stage of their term.

Lower than his predecessors: Compared to Joe Biden (42%) or George W. Bush (mid-40s), Trump stands on more precarious ground than anyone in modern history.
No “Honeymoon” Period: Presidents typically enjoy a surge of support immediately after taking office, but Trump began his second term under intense opposition, and the numbers have only continued to deteriorate.

2. Fierce Opposition: When the Public Loses Patience

The most alarming metric for the Trump team is not just the low approval, but the intensity of “Strong Disapproval”.

Entrenched Resentment: According to an NPR/Marist poll, a staggering 48% of Americans state they “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s performance. This voter bloc is unlikely to change its mind; they are ready to support any effort to remove him, from impeachment to calls for resignation.
A Consolidated Front: When combining those who “strongly” and “somewhat” disapprove, approximately 60% of the population is dissatisfied. When adding those personally affected by specific policies, the figure nears the 80% mark of Americans who want Trump gone, one way or another.

3. Policies that Backfired

The primary reason for the public turning against Trump lies in the very policies he considered his “strategic weapons”.

Tariffs: 59% of the public opposes Trump’s tariff policies. Citizens are directly feeling the impact of skyrocketing prices and a rising cost of living.
Government Cuts: 55% of Americans are unhappy with federal spending cuts. Instead of seeing a more efficient government, the public perceives essential public services becoming stagnant and gutted.
Economic Weakness: A majority of voters believe Trump’s policies are damaging the economy rather than helping it. For them, macro-statistics matter less than their daily grocery bills.

4. Isolation Within His Own Party

While he maintains roughly 75% support within the Republican Party, this figure is deceptive.

A Minority of a Minority: Registered Republicans account for only about 30% of the population. Trump’s reliance on this base means he has completely lost the support of Independents—the group that decides the outcome of every election.
The Independent Disaster: Trump’s approval rating among Independent voters is a meager 24%. This level of political toxicity is causing Republican lawmakers to fear for their own seats in the 2026 midterm elections.

Conclusion: A Presidency Lacking Legitimacy?

Donald Trump is caught in a spiral of despair. The lack of support from the majority renders his legislative agenda largely toothless before Congress and the courts. When a President must govern a nation where 80% of the people want them to leave, it is no longer leadership—it is a democratic crisis.

Will Trump choose a path of even more aggressive confrontation, or will this massive pressure force him to relinquish power? The answer likely lies in the judgment of the voters in 2026—or perhaps even sooner, if the American political system initiates a course correction.
