The New York Times conducted a focus group of 12 Trump voters in April 2026, and nine said they regret voting for him—citing his immigration crackdown, the Iran war, and inflation as primary frustrations. The finding aligns with recent polling showing Trump's approval at 37 percent, his worst point in either term, including a Fox News poll showing only 28 percent approve of his inflation handling. The article provides named participants with direct quotes rather than anonymized claims, making the core reporting verifiable, though the causal chain linking specific policies to approval decline relies partly on the focus group's own stated reasoning rather than statistical analysis.
