University at Buffalo researcher Jacob Neiheisel, associate professor in the Department of Political Science, was featured in Newsweek discussing new polling that shows a decline in support for President Donald Trump among white voters.
Neiheisel explained that it is common for presidents’ approval ratings to decline over time unless major national events temporarily boost public support. He noted that while some voter groups may initially show loyalty, they are still influenced by broader political and economic conditions. He added that Trump’s approval ratings will play a key role in shaping Republican prospects in the 2026 midterm elections.
