It isn't uncommon to run across Democrats and others (Marjorie Taylor Greene, etc.) who claim that Trump supporters are regretting their vote and abandoning ship in droves. That kind gaslighting ramped up during ICE's surge in operations in Minneapolis and elsewhere. In other words, we were expected to believe that Trump voters were getting regretful after seeing the kind of policies they voted for being put into motion.
The reality of the situation is that Trump supporters aren't jumping ship. CNN's Harry Enten had some bad news for the "Trump's supporters are bailing out" people:
There's no break in MAGA. Trump's approval with MAGA GOP is literally 100%.

90% of MAGA GOP approve of US military action in Iran.
Those who disapprove of Trump are not MAGA at this point.
Importantly: MAGA makes up the same share of voters as it did when Trump won in 2024. pic.twitter.com/LqMRHm8t1B
Karoline Leavitt shared that story as a little swipe at the "Trump's base is running away" crowd:
CNN:

“MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove… he’s the 1972 Miami Dolphins.” pic.twitter.com/ELYv9d5OPM
So, no, Trump supporters aren't running away and once again social media buzz doesn't always line up with real life. Kudos to CNN for getting something right after a rather rough month.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress, and the Democrats will stop at nothing to try and prevent that from happening.
