Expert Insights: Why Trump’s Poll Numbers Are Dropping and What It Means for 2024

Trump’s presidency is marked by a bold drive to reshape the government and global trade. While he believes he has a mandate for disruptive change, his sagging poll numbers suggest otherwise.

Many fear he may be misreading their expectations, focusing on tariffs and government downsizing instead of alleviating inflation. Historical precedents show that misaligned priorities can lead to electoral setbacks.

Will he steer the GOP’s future in a meaningful way, or misjudge voter sentiment? The stakes are high.
