Trump's Approval Slips Among Most-Conservative Voters

President Donald Trump's approval rating among very conservative Americans fell from 84 percent in July to 76 percent in September, according to a new Marquette Law School Poll, raising questions about midterm turnout among his most loyal supporters. The 8-point drop in net approval among this subgroup, from plus 68 to plus 52, may signal frustration over economic issues and the Iran war, though political scientists caution the small sample size of about 110 respondents limits reliability. The RNC dismissed the findings as cherry-picked data, citing rising voting likelihood among conservatives Trump's overall approval stood at 37 percent in September, his weakest second-term result, with inflation approval at just 19 percent. Experts say reduced enthusiasm could lower campaign participation in close races, though very conservative voters are unlikely to defect to Democrats
