New Poll Reveals The One Group That Is Turning Against Donald Trump In Huge Numbers
A new poll suggests President Donald Trump is losing support among mothers across the United States, with many saying the rising cost of living and the economy are their biggest concerns ahead of this November’s midterm elections.
The survey, carried out by Echelon Insights between July 9 and July 13, questioned 1,004 likely voters across the country. It found that 61% of those surveyed either strongly or somewhat disapprove of Trump’s performance as president.
The findings show that many mothers are unhappy with the direction the country is taking. Around 67% said they believe the United States is on the “wrong track” under Trump’s leadership. For many of them, the biggest concern is the increasing cost of everyday life, with 30% saying the cost of living is the country’s most important issue.
The poll also found that 13% of mothers believe political corruption is the biggest issue facing America today, while another 19% ranked it as the second biggest problem. Overall, nearly half of the mothers surveyed said the cost of living is one of the two biggest issues affecting their families.
Support for Trump among mothers also appears to have weakened. According to the survey, 59% said they have either a very unfavorable or somewhat unfavorable opinion of the president.
Many families continue to struggle with higher prices for food, fuel and other everyday essentials. Some analysts have linked rising costs to global events, including tensions in the Middle East that have disrupted oil supplies, while others point to domestic economic policies and inflation as major factors affecting household budgets.
The poll also comes as concerns continue over changes to government spending and social support programmes. Critics argue that legislation passed during Trump’s presidency could reduce access to Medicaid for millions of Americans and introduce tougher rules for federal food assistance programmes, affecting many low-income families. Supporters of the changes argue they are intended to reduce government spending and tighten eligibility requirements.
Although the survey did not ask mothers specifically about student loans, financial pressures remain a concern for many households. An Associated Press analysis reported that more than 4.2 million borrowers defaulted on their student loan payments between April 2025 and March 2026 after repayment requirements resumed.
When mothers were asked about the current state of the economy, 62% said they believe the situation is getting either “a lot worse” or “a little worse.” Only a smaller number felt that economic conditions were improving or staying the same.
With the midterm elections approaching, the survey highlights that economic issues, especially the cost of living, remain one of the biggest concerns for many American mothers and could play an important role in how they decide to vote.
