Donald Trump’s poll numbers are slipping as he faces increasing legal challenges and public scrutiny. A new survey released Friday shows support for the former president at 40%, a notable drop from previous months. Trump has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the poll,and threatened legal action against The New York Times,alleging unfair coverage.
The declining numbers come amid several ongoing investigations and legal battles. Trump is currently facing multiple indictments, including charges related to his handling of classified documents and his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. He maintains his innocence and claims the investigations are politically motivated.
The threatened lawsuit against The New York Times centers on articles the former president claims are defamatory. Details of the potential suit are still emerging, but Trump has vowed to “fight back against the fake news media.”
Analysts suggest the combination of legal woes and negative press coverage is eroding Trump’s support base, particularly among moderate republicans. However,he continues to hold significant sway over a dedicated segment of the party,and remains a potential contender for the 2028 presidential election.
