A recent poll reveals that many of Donald Trump's key supporter groups are increasingly dissatisfied with his presidency, highlighting a significant drop in approval from Hispanic and younger voters.

According to a new AP-NORC poll, dissatisfaction among key demographics—including Hispanic adults, young adults, and men—has surged since Trump resumed office, indicating troubling trends for his administration. Approval ratings for his handling of the economy, immigration, and cost of living have plummeted. Most notably, only about one-quarter of Hispanic adults now approve of his presidency, down significantly from previous months. As frustrations rise, while Trump's core MAGA supporters remain loyal, signs of cracking support within the Republican base are emerging.

Many groups that helped elect Donald Trump are increasingly unhappy with how he has performed in office, according to a recent AP-NORC poll conducted with over 2,500 U.S. adults. Key demographics, including Hispanic adults and younger voters, have shown significant discontent as Trump crosses a year in his presidency.

Approval among Hispanic adults has dropped by 16 percentage points since March 2025, highlighting a growing unease with Trump's approaches to critical issues like immigration and the economy. Younger adults remain particularly skeptical, with overall approval from this group falling from 39% to just 28% as economic concerns mount.

While Trump still retains support from most Republicans, recent data indicates that even within his base, enthusiasm may be waning, notably among younger party members dissatisfied with his handling of the cost of living and economic issues. A majority of MAGA Republicans remain loyal, but downturns in approval signify challenges ahead for Trump as he navigates a turbulent political landscape.
