Trump Tanking GOP In Wisconsin

Donald Trump is now getting his worst poll ratings ever as president in this battleground state, and that doesn’t bode well for Wisconsin Republicans on the 2026 ballot.

In a new survey by Marquette Law School, President Trump’s approval ratings are continuing to slip in Wisconsin, where 42% of registered voters approve of his performance and 56% disapprove.


Marquette asks voters whether they “strongly” approve, “somewhat” approve, “somewhat” disapprove or “strongly” disapprove of the president’s performance. This question captures how deeply voters feel. It’s also one indicator of how likely or unlikely voters are to change their minds. Intensity matters in public opinion.

At the beginning of Trump’s second term, intensity about this president was almost evenly distributed: 38% strongly approved and 45% strongly disapproved. That has gradually changed. In the new poll, 25% strongly approve of Trump’s performance and 48% strongly disapprove.

how can so many people be in a cult?

Hitler in 1936 Germany, present day North Korea.

I know we think Americans should know better, but apparently a lot of our fellow countrymen don't.

8. "Strongly Disapprove" is still a very mild description of my disapproval of this president.
