Quinnipiac Poll: America Booed Trump’s D.C. Troop Stunt, and His Numbers Tanked

Quinnipiac’s latest poll is a masterclass in bad reviews: Trump’s approval sinks to 37%, 56% oppose his D.C. troop stunt, and 67% disapprove of his Epstein cover-up. Turns out, polyester patriotism doesn’t poll well.

Quinnipiac Poll: America Booed Trump’s D.C. Troop Stunt, and His Numbers Tanked
Donald Trump’s approval sinks to 37% in a Quinnipiac poll as voters reject his D.C. troop stunt, slam his Epstein file cover-up, and roll their eyes at his polyester dictator cosplay.

Welcome to Trump’s Basement Numbers

The Quinnipiac poll just dropped, and the reviews are brutal. Trump’s national approval rating sits at 37%—and that’s after weeks of cosplay dictator vibes. Independents? Only 31% still approve. Turns out flag-hugging and death-penalty revival tours don’t play outside the MAGA bubble.

D.C. Deployment = Democracy Theater

When Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C., to fight “local crime” (that’s already declining, by the way), voters weren’t impressed. 56% opposed it, including 61% of independents and 63% of women. Republicans, of course, loved it—proving once again that authoritarian cosplay sells great merch but terrible policy.

Genocide, Gaza, and Gaslighting

Half of voters now believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump’s base cheers as if nuance were outlawed. For the rest of America, it’s another reminder that “America First” actually means “Truth Last.”

Ukraine Confidence: Nope

Poll numbers show 59% of voters aren’t confident in Trump’s ability to negotiate peace in Ukraine. Shocker—people don’t think a man who negotiates like a drunk landlord on Truth Social is cut out for foreign policy.

Epstein Files: The Cover-Up Remix

67% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files, and 73% say the DOJ isn’t being transparent. Imagine being so bad at hiding your skeletons that voters want a redo of Watergate with better lighting.

Smithsonian Censorship Circus

60% oppose Trump’s ordered review of diversity-related exhibits at the Smithsonian. Because nothing screams “limited government” like micromanaging museum labels while the economy and democracy burn.


Bottom Line

The Quinnipiac poll is clear: Trump’s polyester patriotism isn’t fooling anyone outside his fan club. Voters are rejecting his D.C. troop cosplay, side-eyeing his Epstein secrecy, and rolling their eyes at his “I’m not a dictator” routine. Numbers don’t lie—and right now, Trump’s are uglier than his flag-hugging photo ops.
