This is the highest figure recorded in the nearly 30-year history of NBC News polling. Forty percent of voters said their vote would be against Trump, while 30% said it would be in support of him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning signs in the economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an interview on NBC News&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Meet the Press<\/em>\u00a0last December, Trump attributed his 2024 victory to two key factors, saying, &#8220;I won on the border, and I won on groceries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the new poll results contain some warning signs for the president on these issues, as well as on areas voters consider most important, such as protecting democracy and constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>On economic issues, a large majority of registered voters believe Trump and his administration have failed to meet expectations regarding the cost of living (66%), protecting the middle class (65%), and the economy (63%).<\/p>\n<p>Some Republicans also share this view, with this sentiment being concentrated among those who do not identify as &#8220;MAGA Republicans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The parties&#8217; report cards on different issues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The poll also showed that voters are divided on which party would better manage the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-eight percent of participants prefer Republicans, while 37% favor Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the smallest margin Republicans have held on this issue in NBC News polls.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats last held an advantage in this area in December 2017. In September 2023, Republicans had a 21-point lead.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans maintain a significant advantage on three key issues: border security (+31 points over Democrats), fighting crime (+22 points), and immigration (+18 points).<\/p>\n<p>Democrats hold an 8-point lead on protecting constitutional rights and an 11-point lead on protecting democracy.<\/p>\n<p>This marks a shift from 2023, when Republicans were ahead by 8 points on constitutional rights and 1 point on protecting democracy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immigration policies and constitutional rights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s agenda of pursuing broad executive actions on immigration and other major policy areas is causing some public debate.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-four percent of participants stated that the Trump administration&#8217;s deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to various cities nationwide to &#8220;combat crime and immigration&#8221; was largely unjustified, while 44% found the move justified.<\/p>\n<p>The protection of constitutional rights and democracy also ranks among voters&#8217; top concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly a quarter of voters said they consider protecting democracy or constitutional rights to be the single most important issue when casting their vote in next year&#8217;s congressional elections.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-two percent of voters said Trump has done more to weaken the US Constitution than to protect it compared to previous presidents, while 31% believe he has taken more steps to protect it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Negative views of both parties<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although Trump&#8217;s challenges in the polls create opportunities for Democrats, the party&#8217;s overall image remains at a record low.<\/p>\n<p>Only 28% of registered voters have a positive view of the Democratic Party, while 53% hold a negative opinion.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican Party is in a relatively better position, with 37% positive and 46% negative ratings.<\/p>\n<p>While 78% of Republicans view their own party favorably, only 59% of Democrats have a positive view of their party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peace efforts in Gaza<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The poll also measured opinions on one of Trump&#8217;s major foreign policy initiatives: efforts to secure peace in Gaza, where a two-year war between Israel and Palestinian groups has been ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Voters are divided on Trump&#8217;s overall handling of the war: 47% approve, while 48% disapprove.<\/p>\n<p>However, US voters are skeptical that Palestinians and Israelis can achieve a lasting peace agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Only 21% believe a permanent peace can be achieved, while 69% think it is not possible.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the participation of US troops in a peacekeeping operation in Gaza, 41% of participants support the idea, while 54% are opposed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 21f67230-3411-4f35-8f2b-2d3954d81d39 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new national poll published by NBC News shows that a large portion of voters believe President Donald Trump has failed to deliver on his promises, giving Democrats an early advantage in the race for next year&#8217;s congressional elections.
