Trump’s Grip Loosens? New Poll Shows Dip in GOP Support
Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump remains the undisputed leader of the Republican Party—but a new poll suggests a subtle shift in the political winds. The survey, released by Real Metrics, shows Trump’s approval among registered Republican voters slipping by 4 points over the past month, marking the steepest monthly decline since 2022.
While Trump still holds a commanding lead over potential primary challengers, analysts say the dip may reflect growing unease among conservatives about recent foreign policy moves, economic headwinds, and internal party clashes. The numbers come at a critical time, with major legislative battles looming and campaign season heating up.
GOP strategists are divided on what the data means. Some insist it’s a temporary blip, driven by media noise. Others warn that even small declines could dampen grassroots turnout—especially if the MAGA base feels alienated by establishment compromises or controversial policy pivots.
Whether it’s a warning sign or just a statistical hiccup, one thing is clear: the Trump machine will need to recalibrate its message if it wants to keep the Republican engine roaring into 2026.
