We have some big news this afternoon. The White House is facing a major issue right now. Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to the lowest point in his second term and it's reaching Bush era numbers when it comes to the war in Iran. And when you look at the cross tabs even more closely, the number of group, the groups that are really leaving him where he is bleeding support the most to Hmong young men. Young men were one of the reasons why he won the White House in 2024. Now a lot of people will say, well, Trump isn't running for reelection. That is true. Trump isn't running for reelection. But he is still on the ballot heading into the midterm election cycle. And with poll numbers like this heading into a midterm where Democrats are favored to win, it is expected to potentially be a landslide for Democrats. Now, polls don't vote, people do. So there is still a long time between now and November. But between what's happening in Congress today and, and what's happening overseas in the Middle east, the White House is growing concerned.

A new Reuters poll that came out in the past hour shows Donald Trump's approval rating sitting at just 36% in comparison week over week. Just last week it was at 40%. It is now down 4% in just one week. The President's numbers, and simply put, are weak. But it's not just among the American electorate. It's specifically among young men.

Donald Trump and Republicans won in 2024 because of support from male voters. The only way they can win, given the gender gap in this country, is support from male voters. And male voters are, are abandoning Donald Trump. Take a look here. This gives the game away, okay? Trump standing with men In November of 2024, he beat Kamala Harris among them by 13 points. By 13 points. Look at where he is now on his net approval rating. Down he goes. It's a 20 point shift away from Donald Trump. He is now seven points underwater at this particular point among men. I think it is very difficult for Republicans to do well in this midterm cycle if Donald Trump is underwater, water with men. As my uncle once wrote, where the boys are, where the men are, they are underwater when it comes to Donald Trump. So that's overall men. But what about young men who were really influential? Yes, young men of course, there was a massive shift to Donald Trump from 2020 to 2024among young men. And look right here. Whoa. Yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes. Men under the age of 25 on Trump. He won him in 2024 by five points. Look where he is now. The net approval rating, way down there. Down we go to negative 19 points. That's a.

By the way, these numbers, if they held up today, if the midterm elections were today, you'd have Democrats winning the House and the Senate. Keep listening.
Congressman Chip Roy
Nearly.
Political Analyst
What is that? Nearly a 25 point switcheroo against the President of the United States. When it comes to men under the age of 45, those men that had switched their allegiances over to the Republican Party are seeing what the President is doing. They don't like what the President is doing, and they are very much soured on the President of the United States. Men under the age of. What is it specifically that they don't like? What issues have caused them to sour on President Trump? I think there are a lot of issues that have caused them to sour on President Trump, but one in particular, we've spoken about it over and over and over again. It's the cost of living. It's inflation. Look at this. Okay, men on Trump and the cost of living and October of 2024. Look at this. Trump was trusted more than Kamala Harris by 10 points on this issue.
Political Commentator
Now, by the way, the cost of living is set to go up quickly due to the war in Iran. Gas prices have already gone up. But we're now learning from Financial Times reporting and elsewhere that the price of groceries are set to rise as well. Because the Strait of Hormuz closing the Strait of our moves actually impacts fertilizer, which impacts the number of crops you can grow, which ultimately impacts grocery prices here in the United States of America. Keep listening.
Political Analyst
Got a 40 point switcheroo in the other direct direction. Look at this. His net approval rating on the cost of living among men is underwater by 30 percentage points. You see this. There is no way in God's green earth that the Republican Party can hold on to the House of Representatives. If this number holds, when you're 30 points underwater with the gender, that of course puts you over the top in the election on the cost of living. The number one issue. That means. See you later, that Republican House majority and maybe that Senate majority as well. Wow.
Political Commentator
See you later to the Republican House majority and maybe the Senate majority. And it's why, I mean, instead of focusing on cost of living, they're focusing on the SAVE act and they're focusing on these election reform efforts. But even their own people. Here's Congressman Chip Roy admitting that the SAVE act will cause problems for married women across the country.
Congressman Chip Roy
Is it critically important? The problem we have is we've got some folks out there that are trying to stir the pot on this, you know, allegation that it somehow is a barrier for married women to be able to vote because they, you know, got to deal with getting IDs with name changes and all those things. Although, frankly, I'm trying not to elevate the issue too much. My chief of staff had to go get a new ID in Virginia. Virginia's adopted the Real ID system, so she had to go through a bunch of hoops. She's going to have to go back to the DMV twice because they want the paperwork for it. That's just part of the, the, the issue with how we try to set up the ability to identify people, but there's no barriers at all to married women being able to vote.
Political Commentator
He acknowledged that his own chief of staff will have issues if this SAVE act passes. But it's not just that. It's also the war in Iran. And Republicans right now, like Senator Rick Scott, are just saying, let's hope for the best.
Political Analyst
Intimated that he thinks that whomever that the administration is, is negotiating with right now, he considers. Considers it to be de facto regime change. Do you know who it is? Is it the leader of the Iranian parliament? And looked at some of his history. It's not, it's not good. This gentleman.
Political Commentator
No.
Political Analyst
Is he someone that, that we could work with?
Congressman Chip Roy
Allah.
Political Analyst
What we saw, I can't imagine. Venezuela. No.
Political Expert
Well, first off, Delta Rodriguez is not the elected president of Venezuela. She's, she's the, she was part of Maduro. She's a friend of Maduro. The only reason we have control over Venezuela is we control the oil money. And so we've got to have a transition to democracy there. With regard to Iran, we don't have somebody yet. Am I hopeful? Absolutely. But you know what, what's important to me is destroy all their ability to kill us. I mean, you can hope, you know, for a regime change, but in the meantime, let's destroy their ability to kill more Americans and then hope for the best and we'll see what happens.
Political Commentator
Hope for the best and we'll see what happens. That's the narrative coming out of Republicans on Capitol Hill right now. So the approval rating of the presidents continues to fall because in a lot of ways. They're just hoping for the best. And while the best is yet to come, as Kimberly Guilfoyle once said at the rnc so we'll see what happens next.

Number one, how the general American electorate feels about the current state of our nation. But number two, and more importantly, polls don't vote. People do. And so if you're watching this, never tell you who to vote for. I would just tell you. Go out, make sure to vote and make sure that your voice is heard this November at the polls.

Episode: Breaking: White House in Crisis over Trump’s Terrible Approval Ratings as America turns on Trump
Host: Aaron Parnas
Date: March 24, 2026
This episode focuses on a dramatic downturn in President Donald Trump’s approval ratings during his second term, highlighting the intensifying challenges the White House faces ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Host Aaron Parnas and several commentators explore why Trump is losing support—especially among young and male voters—delve into the role of growing economic pressure tied to the war in Iran, and critique Republican priorities in Congress. The discussion draws from the latest polling data and expert analysis to forecast significant political changes on the horizon.
The discussion is urgent, data-driven, and direct—at times, critical and frustrated with Republican leadership. The hosts and guests repeatedly stress the historic nature of the political shift underway, blending rapid-fire data interpretation with a conversational breakdown of implications for 2026.
If you missed the episode, this is the big picture: President Trump’s approval ratings are hitting record lows, driven by a dramatic erosion of support among young men and male voters at large—demographics that previously powered his surprise 2024 win. Fueled largely by economic anxieties exacerbated by the conflict in Iran, these shifts have Democrats poised for a possible sweep in November unless trends are reversed. Meanwhile, the Republican response on the Hill seems out of step, more focused on controversial election reform than addressing cost-of-living worries, while their approach to foreign crises is described as "hoping for the best." The hosts emphasize that while polling is dire, actual turnout will determine the ultimate outcome in the 2026 midterms.
