President Donald Trump has slipped underwater with one of the most important blocs in his political coalition, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, which found his net approval among white working-class voters turned negative for the first time in his second term.
The survey, conducted March 26 to March 30 among 1,201 adults, showed Trump at 49% approval and 50% disapproval with white non-college voters, a narrow but politically notable reversal for a group that helped drive his return to the White House.
The shift matters because white working-class voters have long been central to Trump's electoral strength. As recently as February, CNN's polling still showed him above water with that group. According to the CNN/SSRS trendline, Trump was at 54% approval and 46% disapproval among white working-class voters in February, after posting similarly positive numbers in January and late 2025. By early April, that cushion had disappeared.
The erosion comes at a moment when Trump is facing broad public frustration on the economy, historically one of his strongest issues. A separate CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that his approval rating on the economy fell to a new career low of 31%. Roughly two-thirds of Americans said Trump's policies had worsened economic conditions in the United States, and only 27% said they approved of his handling of inflation, down sharply from 44% a year earlier.
The same polling period also captured growing skepticism about Trump's handling of the war with Iran.
Just one-third of Americans believe Trump has a clear plan for the conflict, while only 34% said they approved at least somewhat of the U.S. decision to take military action in Iran. That was down seven points from a CNN poll taken just after the war began

Rage bait
We’re believing Comedy News Nutwork’s “polls” now? That’s weird.
“The survey, conducted March 26 to March 30 among 1,201 adults”
I have very little use for polling data regardless of what it says.
Having been a data analyst for quite a while I can assure you polling data can be molded to say anything you want.
The easiest way is to polling in an area you know will get the results your looking for.
And OBTW, 1201 is a pretty small data set.
100% You Betcha.
Trump
U.S.A. #!
Huh? Did I miss the memo? Do I agree with all he says and does? Nope. But he is doing what I hired him to do.
Remember when the “polls” showed HilLIARy had a 95% chance of winning?
That was funny
(actually, I think some her voters stayed home because of those polls )
=)
Rasmussen is the most GOP/MAGA-friendly of the major pollsters and it has President Trump down 12 (55-/43+).
Latin Times.... LOL. Could not be that we are deporting all the illegal lettuce pickers, roofers, and parasites from 3rd world shitholes like Guatemala and Mexico. Nahhhhhhhh
Trump isn’t going to be able to run for reelection.
The wimpy Congressional Republicans were doomed to lose both the House and Senate before the first bomb was dropped.
Like the Jews of 1944 Warsaw, they have nothing to lose by fighting.
Alicia Civita,
Close your eyes and click your heels three times and say, “There’s no place like home.”
What is the purpose of posting this crap on FR?? Again, this site is turning into a dumpster.
And if that many people disagreed with the POTUS, CNN wouldn’t have to cook its polls, would it.
And the enemedia wouldn’t have to run with cooked polls, would they.
We never had and won’t miss ya.
Peace Out. LOL!
See my post 4
Leftist propaganda machine(s) at work.
No sale.
Trump don’t need no stinkin’ polls.
He ain’t running for anything despite his trolling to the contrary.
The MAGA movement is up for grabs for anyone with the balls to take it.
And I think Tulsi Gabbard may indeed have the balls to take it.
Little Marco and the bearded one don’t have an ounce of MAGA DNA in their bloodstream.
Neither can mount a campaign for the nomination without selling their souls to the GOP money men who flushed millions down the stool backing the likes of Jeb 1.0 and Jeb 2.0 against the MAGA movement.
heres the problem. if were loaded with gas and oil why are we at $4 gas. and dont tell US its international.
Congress is allowing anti-American worker importers to collect many billions in tariff refunds that could have been subjected to a special income tax which could have been used to provide gas help tax refunds.
If you follow America First/Antiwar MAGA (i.e., Tucker, Candace, Megyn, Massie, Rand Paul, MTG, and similar voices), they say they hired Trump to keep us out of wars. And Trump isn't doing what they hired him to do.
You can dismiss them as "haters." But they -- and their many followers -- are part of the MAGA coalition that elected Trump. It's not unexpected that Trump is losing this segment's support.
