A Surprising Poll Drop—but What’s Behind the Numbers?
President Trump has been a fighter for American jobs, border security, and economic freedom—but a new CBS/YouGov poll suggests some male voters may be wavering. As he marks six months into his second term, just 47% of men now approve of Trump’s job performance, while 53% disapprove—a notable decline since last fall.
Back in October, 54% of men supported Trump, and a strong 64% believed he would be a bold, effective leader. So what changed?
Trump’s Approval Dips—but His Agenda Still Resonates
According to DecisionDeskHQ averages, President Trump’s overall approval has dropped 12 points since January, sliding from 56% to 44%. But here’s what the mainstream media won’t highlight: a majority of men (54%) still believe Trump is keeping his campaign promises—delivering on the tough issues he ran on.
Deportations: Too Aggressive or Not Aggressive Enough?
When it comes to immigration, Trump remains a lightning rod for opinion. The poll found:
- 47% of men say Trump is focusing too much on deportations
- 33% believe he’s got it just right
- 19% want to see more action
Trump vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, and he’s following through. His administration has cracked down on illegal crossings and stepped up enforcement raids, particularly at workplaces. As a result, border encounters have plummeted—a win for national security and American workers.
Inflation Frustration: Is Trump Doing Enough?
The economy remains a top concern for older voters. The CBS/YouGov poll shows:
- 65% of men think Trump hasn’t done enough to lower prices
- 29% believe he’s taken the right steps
- 6% say he’s done too much
While inflation was turbocharged under Biden, expectations are high for Trump to fix it fast. His tax cuts, energy independence agenda, and pressure on the Fed could still shift public opinion.
Don’t Count Trump Out—Conservative Voters Are Watching Closely
This latest poll may raise eyebrows, but it doesn’t mean the Trump movement is losing steam. Many voters are still aligned with his America First policies on immigration, energy, and law and order. And despite media spin, Trump remains the most influential political figure in America today.
With November approaching and the economy front and center, the question isn’t whether Trump can win men back—it’s how quickly they’ll return when the alternative is more chaos from the left.
