According to a new poll by Reuters and research firm Ipsos, backing for US regime leader Donald Trump among white evangelical Protestants has experienced a notable slump. The survey indicates that support among this critical demographic has tumbled to 63 percent, down significantly from 77 percent at the time of his second inauguration in January.

This downward shift coincides with Trump’s overall approval rating plunging to an all-time low of 31 percent. White evangelicals have long served as a bedrock constituency for the Republican Party, and any erosion in their enthusiasm could prove consequential during the upcoming midterm elections on November 3, as the right-wing party fights to defend its legislative majorities.

Democrats remain heavily favoured to capture the US House of Representatives, while their prospects of flipping the Senate are reportedly growing amid widespread public discontent over affordability crises and the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. Political analysts suggest that while Republicans still rely on their base to counter these headwinds, voter fatigue is presenting severe challenges.

During a campaign appearance in South Carolina, Trump sought to rally conservative Christians by focusing heavily on contentious social policies. However, critics argue that the widening disconnect between the American public and the regime's domestic agenda could severely impair Republican turnout, leaving their congressional majorities increasingly vulnerable.
