MAGA voter says Trump abandoned her

May 19, 2026

Trump's poll numbers are collapsing, with even loyal Republican voters turning on him over the Iran war and high cost of living.

  • A 68-year-old lifelong Trump supporter called a radio show saying she feels abandoned and betrayed, mostly over the Iran war and gas prices.
  • Trump's approval hit 37%, his lowest ever, with deep underwater numbers on the economy, cost of living, and the Iran war.
  • 64% of Americans say going to war with Iran was wrong, and even 22% of Republicans disagree with the decision.
  • Democrats lead the generic congressional ballot by 11 to 14 points, levels not seen since the 2008 wave.
  • 79% disapprove of Trump on gas prices, the worst number for any president on that issue, and most people say bills have gotten harder to pay in the last six months.
  • American sympathy has flipped: more people now side with Palestinians than Israel, though older Republicans remain strongly pro-Israel.

Outlook: Without a sharp drop in gas prices or a quick exit from the Iran war, Republicans look headed for a brutal midterm.
