Donald Trump and Republicans received devastating news on Monday as voters prepare to go to the polls. New CNN polling released just 24 hours before the critical November 4 elections paints a devastating picture for Trump: his disapproval rating has surged to 63%, the highest of his presidency. To put that in perspective, Trump is now less popular than when he left office following the January 6th insurrection.
It’s not just CNN. The numbers are dire across the board. No matter where you look, YouGov, TIPP, The Economist, every major outlet shows Trump underwater with every demographic and every issue. He’s even now at net negative approval among white Americans, per YouGov.
Yes, Trump is indeed a historic president. And by that I mean he is the most historically unpopular president at this time in history.
It probably has something to do with the fact that when you push aside Trump’s propaganda, the reality on the ground for Americans is equally dire. Americans are feeling the pain, and Trump’s nonstop lies that we are in the “Golden Age” just adds insult to industry.
According to private reporting from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, there have been 950,000 layoffs in just the first three quarters of 2025, the worst stretch since the Great Recession. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has gone dark, leaving Americans in the dark about how bad the situation truly is. Trump blames the shutdown he caused for the lack of any data releases.
But even before the shutdown, Trump’s efforts to downsize the U.S. government left holes in the federal statistical system. The result is a White House using chaos as cover for economic failure.
While millions of working Americans face layoffs, the big Trump-GOP bill has gutted Medicaid and shuttered rural hospitals, with the Dallas Morning News reporting bluntly, “Rural hospitals struggle to survive.” The burden, as often is the case, falls heaviest on Black and Hispanic families, while billionaires, including foreign oligarchs, continue to thrive.
One of those billionaires is Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the crypto exchange Binance, who pled guilty to money laundering tied to terrorist financing. Trump pardoned him, then claimed on 60 Minutes that he had no idea who Zhao was.
“I don’t know who that is,” Trump told Norah O’Donnell. “My kids deal with that.”
I’m sure it’s just a total coincidence that Zhao, also known as C.Z., was an essential figure in boosting the Trump family’s crypto venture. Nothing to see here, folks.
When asked about it during his daily humiliation ritual before the press, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he “didn’t see the interview” and had “no idea” what reporters were referring to. That’s been his go-to line for a while now.
This is the rot of Trump’s second term: unaccountable power, deliberate ignorance, and impunity for the connected. And voters are noticing that Republicans aren’t innocent bystanders, but active participants in the destruction of our country.
It’s no wonder both Trump and the GOP’s overall numbers are collapsing. In CNN’s generic congressional ballot, voters prefer Democrats by five points (47%–42%), a stunning reversal from just months ago. Even former MAGA voters are turning on him. We’re hearing it in interviews, and it’s showing up in the data.
Take Bryce Mitchell, a UFC fighter who once declared he’d “take a bullet” for Trump. In a new viral video, he calls Trump “the Antichrist,” citing his corruption, hypocrisy, and failures. “He’s a good actor,” Mitchell said. “He tricked me, I was fooled.”
For years, the MAGA movement relied on blind devotion. But devotion doesn’t pay rent. It doesn’t cover hospital bills. It doesn’t save jobs. And as Americans look around, they’re realizing that Trump’s promises were nothing but performances of cruelty wrapped in lies.
As the country braces for key elections tomorrow, from Virginia to California, the American people are speaking clearly through the data, the headlines, and their votes: they’ve had enough.
We don’t pretend to predict the future. Polls are snapshots in time, and different methodologies can yield different results. But if the data holds, and tomorrow’s elections go as badly for the GOP as they appear poised to, the reckoning for Donald Trump and the Republican Party has only just begun. So don’t sit on the sidelines. Vote. And make sure your friends and family vote too.
