Summary
Pew found Trump’s job approval among his confirmed 2024 voters at 67%, down from 95% in February 2025, with sharper erosion among Hispanic supporters at 57% and under-35 Trump voters at 49%.
Those shifts come as new midterm polling suggests voters are weighing Senate races through different lenses rather than a single national mood.
In Ohio, 40% of likely voters said control of the U.S. Senate matters most in choosing a senator, narrowly ahead of candidates’ positions on issues at 39%; 21% prioritized character and experience.
In Iowa, issue positions led at 47%, while Senate control ranked second at 35%, showing battleground voters are split between policy concerns and chamber control.
The findings add to earlier signs of strain for Republicans, after a separate poll found 1 in 4 Trump voters said GOP candidates should distance themselves from the president.
