# Trump's Approval Rating Slides as Democrats Gain Momentum

In this episode, we examine President Trump's declining approval ratings, with new Emerson College Polling showing a drop to 41% amid eroding support from key constituencies - including a concerning 12-point drop among Republicans. Democrats now lead the generic congressional ballot 44% to 40% for the 2026 midterms, with significantly higher voter motivation among Democratic voters.

Looking ahead to 2028, Governor Gavin Newsom leads potential Democratic nominees at 24%, while Vice President JD Vance dominates the Republican field at 54%. Meanwhile, the administration has announced sweeping immigration restrictions, including a pause on migration from developing nations and reviews of previously approved green cards and asylum cases.

These developments signal both political vulnerability for the administration and a doubling down on restrictive immigration policies as a central second-term strategy.
