Donald Trump is witnessing a notable decline in approval ratings among White working-class voters, a demographic that strongly supported him in previous elections. The Washington Post highlights this trend, with economic handling being a major concern, according to a recent CBS News poll.

The poll indicates that disapproval among White voters without college degrees has risen to 54 percent, a significant jump from earlier figures. This development threatens the Republicans' prospects in the forthcoming mid-term elections. While Trump once commanded strong support due to his stance on jobs, immigration, and globalisation, recent surveys reflect dwindling confidence, especially regarding economic management.

Various national polls echo this sentiment, marking Trump's approval ratings at new lows across his two terms. Despite the White House's stance on past electoral victories, the current polling figures pose a critical challenge for Trump's continued political support.
