Donald Trump has hit a historic second-term low with independent voters, as a bombshell YouGov poll reveals his net approval has plummeted to negative 40 percentage points.
The survey, conducted between 23–26 January 2026, shows that a staggering 67% of independents now disapprove of the President's performance, compared to just 27% who approve. This sharp decline from a net negative 31 just one week ago signals a burgeoning crisis for the Republican Party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
