The U.S. is going through a turbulent period early in President Trump’s second term, with a shaky stock market, new tariffspushing up prices, federal job cuts and tough immigrationcrackdowns. These developments have fueled discussions about whether Trump’s 2024 voters remain supportive or are reconsidering their choice amid the instability.

According to an April 2025 Reuters/Ipsos poll, Trump’s approval rating dropped to its lowest point since his return to the White House, with 42% of respondents approving of Trump’s performance, a slight decline from 43% in a the same poll three weeks prior, and a more significant drop from 47% in the hours following his Jan. 20 inauguration. However, Trump’s most loyal followers are very much sticking with him.
