Trump’s Core White Voters Show Widening Rift as Polls Signal Slow Decline

CNN and other polls show President Trump losing ground with White voters without a college degree, with disapproval rising across multiple surveys (roughly in the 51–54% range) and voters citing economic concerns, tariffs and the Iran war as factors. While this group has formed the backbone of his base, the slide raises potential risk for Republicans in the 2026 midterms, though the GOP still leads this demographic in recent averages.
