An AP-NORC poll shows a decline in support for President Trump, particularly among Hispanic Americans, younger voters, and men, amidst rising concerns over the economy.

A recent AP-NORC poll indicates that many key groups that supported Donald Trump in the past are increasingly dissatisfied with his leadership. With approval ratings dropping among Hispanic adults, younger voters, and men, Trump faces growing challenges just over a year into his presidency. This dissatisfaction is tied to economic concerns and his immigration policies. While his core MAGA supporters remain loyal, there are signs of frustration even within the Republican party.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An AP-NORC poll indicates that many groups pivotal to Donald Trump's election are unhappy with his presidency, highlighting declines in support among critical demographics, including Hispanic adults and younger voters.

In the survey of over 2,500 U.S. adults conducted between April 16 and April 20, a noticeable shift has occurred in how Trump is perceived concerning his performance in office, particularly regarding economic management and immigration.

Since March 2025, Trump's approval rating among Hispanic adults has plummeted by 16 percentage points, while his support among men has decreased by 9 percentage points. Reporting shows that only about one-quarter of Hispanic adults approve of his handling of the presidency, down from about 40% just over a year ago.

A Decline in Young Adult Support

Among young voters, particularly women, approval ratings are similarly dire, with only 20% of women under 45 expressing approval of Trump's handling of the economy.

Waning Support Among Men

Trump has historically supported traditional male voter interests, but his approval rating among men has also dipped significantly. From 47% at the start of his term, it has now fallen to 38%.

MAGA Base Loyalty Remains Strong

Despite these declines, Trump's MAGA supporters continue to support him robustly, with 90% expressing approval for his job performance. However, discontent among non-MAGA Republicans indicates a shift in party dynamics.

The data highlights critical challenges for Trump as he navigates his second term amidst rising economic and political concerns. As he approaches the next election cycle, this feedback from key constituencies may shape his strategies moving forward.
