Key Points:
- Recent polls reveal a growing number of Trump voters expressing reservations and regret about their 2024 vote, with confidence in their choice dropping from 74% in April 2025 to 62% currently.
- About 16% of Trump voters would change their vote in hindsight, with younger voters under 30 and Hispanic Trump supporters showing higher levels of regret, according to YouGov and Strength in Numbers-Verasight polls.
- Trump’s base shows significant disapproval on key issues, including the Iran war, contradicting the narrative that MAGA supporters uniformly back his policies.
- Approval among working-class White voters, a crucial Trump demographic, has declined sharply from 63% in February 2025 to 49% in recent polling, indicating a softening of his core support.
- The increase in regret and disapproval among Trump voters could have major implications for the 2026 midterm elections, potentially benefiting Democrats if these voters shift away from the GOP.
