Story summary

U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval among white voters without a college degree fell to 46 percent in a CNN poll July 23-27, 2026, from 61 percent in February 2025.
Peter Enns, Cornell professor and Verasight chief data scientist, said the drop is “extremely concerning” because many voters may stay home.
