Since Trump first ran for president a decade ago, White working class and rural voters have been an important base of support, drawn to his vows to bring back manufacturing and crack down on immigration. In 2024, 2 in 3 White working-class voters backed him, according to research group PRRI's post-election survey. Trump won 69% of the rural vote in 2024, according to Pew Research Center exit polling.


A CBS News-YouGov poll in May found 54% of White, noncollege voters disapproved of Trump's performance, up from 32% in February 2025. That disapproval hit 49% in a June NPR/PBS/Marist poll and 51% in an April Fox News poll. Among rural voters, a June Reuters/Ipsos poll found 48% disapproved of Trump, up from 34% the month after he returned to office.

"The decline is significant given that White working-class voters were a pretty stable support between 2016 and 2020 for Trump after trending Republican since the early 1990s," said Noam Lupu, a Vanderbilt University political science professor.



The main driver of the discontent is higher prices for necessities like gas and food, pushed up by the Iran war and tariffs, experts said.

Although Trump won't be on the November ballot, growing disapproval could bleed into the GOP's midterm fortunes, Lupu said. While "stickiness" of U.S. party affiliation means relatively few such voters are likely to switch allegiances to Democrats, it may hurt Republicans by dampening turnout.

Reed, who no longer supports the MAGA movement for a variety of reasons, said plenty of people in his largely conservative part of Missouri, just west of the Mississippi River, still do. But Reed predicted he won't be the only former Trump voter who is "going to possibly vote for a Democrat for the first time in their lives" in the midterms.

Finally, I thought they would never see it.

Trump's approval with conservatives on JPP is essentially 100 percent, and with much of it verging on worship, adoration, and adulation.
 
The problem for the Democrats is they have nobody on their current roster of players that is worth voting for in lieu of Trump.

No, Democrats give me no choices since they've become a party of the Left and the Left is singularly the most horrific thing that can happen to a country.

Just remember, Leftists in control of nations caused more deaths from war, disease, famine, brutality, enslavement, and general indifference in the 20th Century than any other cause. They singularly killed between 30 and 150 million people collectively in the 20th Century.

So, why the fuck would ANYONE vote for that?

How crazy is that? We have Buttigeig,Kelly, Newsom.Shapiro, Walz,Whitmer and Pritzker to name a few I saw a site that directed 8 different A.Is to tell us who who we should vote for. Five picked Shapiro. There is no Dem at Trump's level. If they were, they would be in jail.

Buttplug is a nobody. He tried to run and couldn't break single digits with his own party.
Kelly is nothing but a "Yes" man. He's boring as hell in terms of personality. He got elected on his wife's coattails.
Newsome is as greasy a politician as they come. Used car salesmen, lawyers, and con men have more charm.
Shapiro? Who?
Walz. He's on his way to prison.
Whitmer. Yea, she's got all the charm of a snake.
Pritzker is a complete hack. Outside of Illinois he's an unknown.

Basically, right now, the Democrats have nobody worth a bucket of spit on the national stage.

So you don’t think he’ll get reelected?

Almost anyone is worth voting for in lieu of the orchestrator of the Iran war, the meddler of the East Wing, the Kennedy Center, the Reflecting Pool and what all, the man using the office to enrich himself like no one before in the history of the republic. Not that voting for or against him is in the cards.
