US President Donald Trump's approval rating among independent voters has fallen to a historic low of 21 percent, while his disapproval has risen to 71 percent, resulting in a net score of -50. This is the lowest figure ever recorded by YouGov/The Economist among this crucial voter demographic. Allen Houston of YouGov compares this decline to the initial rejection of Trump by Democrats during his first term. Experts like Robert Y. Shapiro warn that this trend could weaken Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections and potentially in the next presidential election. The White House dismissed the significance of current poll numbers, emphasizing instead the 2024 election outcome and the administration's achievements.
