President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped notably among independent voters, according to a new Gallup survey. The poll was conducted from July 7th to 21th and shows Trump’s job approval rating has fallen to 37%. The president's approval rating among independent voters has dropped to 29%, matching his lowest level with this group in either term. Key drivers of the decline include dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the federal budget, the economy, and immigration. The survey’s results may raise concerns for Republican leaders ahead of the 2026 midterms. Independent voters—often a swing voting bloc—appear to be distancing themselves from Trump’s policy agenda.
