A new poll found that a plurality of U.S. voters see President Donald Trump as "corrupt," "racist," and "cruel."
The Economist/YouGov poll asked more than 1,600 registered voters about Trump's job performance. About 56% of respondents said they "strongly or somewhat" disapprove of the president, Axios reported. Another 47% said they would describe the president as "racist," while 49% said the president is "corrupt" and 46% said he is "cruel."
The poll was published at a time when Republicans appear to be growing more concerned about the prospects of losing their majority on The Hill during the 2026 midterms. Democrats recently picked up a slate of election victories, primarily by running on a message of reducing the cost of living.
Meanwhile, Trump's polling on important issues like the economy and immigration appears to be tanking, according to reports.
"Trump may be encountering the same dynamic that helped him surpass Biden in early 2024 polling — the economy may be stable, but many Americans do not feel that in their own finances," Axios reported.
