Trump’s Approval Rating With Baby Boomers Completely CRATERS

Donald Trump’s approval rating across the board is going down, but his biggest drop right now is with the most vital demographic for the Republican Party. Baby Boomers have now turned against Trump, and his approval rating with that group is now underwater, just like with the rest of the country. The reasons behind this drop are significant, and it could spell doom for Republicans in 2026. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump's approval ratings keep taking massive hits in poll after poll after poll. And at this point, I don't think there is a single demographic other than Republicans where Donald Trump has a positive approval rating. And I say that because according to a new poll this week, Donald Trump has officially now fallen underwater with the last age group that up until a week ago, he still had a positive approval rating with. And unfortunately for him, not only is he now underwater with them, he is tremendously underwater with them. And it also happens to be the most important age group for the Republican Party. It's the baby boomers. According to a new poll out this week, Donald Trump's approval rating among baby boomers has now fallen 10 points to negative nine 54% disapproved, 45% approve. Now, what's interesting about that is that a week ago, those numbers were different. A week ago, Donald Trump had a net approval rating. In that age group of plus one, he had 49% approve, 48% disapprove. So a week ago, majority of baby boom boomers, even if it's just by 1%, said, yep, I like what he's doing this week.

A 10 point shift in the opposite direction, where he's nine points underwater and they say, we don't like what he's doing on all things. This is overall approval. You break it down to economic issues and it gets so much worse. Last week, his handling of the economy with that age group was at net negative one. You know, 47% approved, 48% disapproved, but it's now negative 1440 2% approved in that age group. 56% disapprove in a week. Those numbers changed on inflation, same thing. A week ago he was negative seven. Today he's negative 15. So a loss of another eight points with baby boomers in a week. Now, the main factor driving this loss of support from the baby boomers is of course the threat of dismantling social security. Now, Trump has said, we're not gonna touch Social Security, but the truth is, they already have. They've shut down field offices across the country, while at the same time making it a new rule for recipients that if you have a problem with your check or your you know, status, you have to go to a field office to get it resolved. Oh, and by the way, we're closing the field offices. So, good luck. Try to figure that one out, folks. So they are cutting it. They've also changed the rules of, you know, you have to like reconfirm your eligibility. We're gonna start doing

Home checks on these people, you know, wasting government money to go knock on an elderly person's door and be like, are you still alive? All right, see you next week. They're literally doing that, like that's part of their new plans. So if you're not home, when they knock on your door, they suspend your benefits because they can't confirm you're there. Yeah, that's also part of it. So you could be left without benefits for months as you try to track down the nearest field office to even go get your social security reinstated. So yes, it's not shocking that the baby boomers are finally saying, you know what? Screw these guys. The only thing I ask of the baby boomers is, of course, you guys are the largest Republican voting block in the country. Just remember which party is doing this to you when you go vote in 2026, because it's sure not the Democrats. Democrats are trying to protect social security. The party you keep voting for are the ones trying to take it away from you. So please, for the love of God, don't ever forget that for the rest of your lives. Take it beyond 2026. Remember it forever.
