President Donald Trump welcomed the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles NFL football team to the South Lawn of the White House, but even his biggest supporters in the UK are starting to turn against him. According to a new poll by the More in Common think-tank, Trump’s favorability has declined among British voters since his inauguration in January. This includes a significant drop in support from Reform UK voters, who were previously his strongest supporters in the UK.
When Trump re-entered the White House at the beginning of this year, his net favorability rating among all British voters was at a low of minus 36. Among Labour voters, it was even lower at minus 42, and among Tories, it was at minus 27. However, among Reform UK voters, Trump had a net favorability rating of plus 31. This was a significant difference from the overall British population and showed that Trump had a strong base of support within the Reform party.
However, just three months later, Trump’s favorability among Reform UK voters has plummeted by 30 points to just plus 1. This is a significant drop and shows that even his most loyal supporters are starting to lose faith in him. Among British voters as a whole, his favorability has fallen by 8 points to minus 44. This is a clear indication that Trump’s popularity is declining in the UK.
These findings may explain why Reform leader Nigel Farage, a close ally of Trump, has become increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks. Farage has publicly criticized Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine, stating that it “rewards Putin too much.” He has also spoken out against the tariffs that Trump has imposed on imports to America, including those from the UK.
The decline in Trump’s favorability among Reform UK voters is a significant blow to the president. It shows that even his strongest supporters are starting to question his actions and policies. This is a clear indication that Trump’s presidency is not as popular in the UK as it once was.
The poll also asked British voters about their opinions on Trump’s return to the White House. The results were not favorable, with 67% of Brits believing that Trump’s return has been bad for the world. 61% think it has been bad for the UK, and 57% say he has been bad for America. These numbers are a stark contrast to the 16% who believe he has been good for the world, 17% who think he has been good for the UK, and 27% who believe he has been good for America.
This is a clear indication that Trump’s presidency has not been well-received by the majority of British voters. His actions and policies have been met with disapproval, and many believe that he has had a negative impact on the world, the UK, and America.
As Trump’s second term reaches its 100-day mark, it is clear that his approval among Brits has fallen even further since his inauguration. This is a significant decline and shows that his presidency is not gaining popularity in the UK. It is also a reflection of the growing dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership and policies.
In conclusion, the poll by the More in Common think-tank has revealed that even Reform UK voters, who were previously Trump’s biggest supporters in the UK, are starting to lose faith in him. His favorability has declined among British voters as a whole, and the majority believe that his return to the White House has been bad for the world, the UK, and America. This is a clear indication that Trump’s presidency is not as popular in the UK as it once was, and his actions and policies are being met with disapproval.
