2025 Elections Reveal Growing Anti-Trump Wave in Key States

The 2025 elections in Virginia and New Jersey have delivered a clear message: voters are turning away from President Donald Trump. A significant majority, 41%, cast their ballots to oppose him, while only 21% did so in support.

In New Jersey, the shift was stark. The gap between voters supporting Trump's opponent, Mikie Sherrill, and those backing Donald Trump widened from 17 points in 2017 to a staggering 28 points in 2025. This was seen as a direct protest against Trump's policies and authoritarian style.

In Virginia, the trend was similar. The anti-Trump vote surged, increasing the gap from 17 points in 2017 to 22 points in 2025. Large 'No Kings' rallies reflected the strength and motivation of the anti-Trump vote.

CNN polling data reveals a worrying trend for Trump and the Republican Party. Only 1 in 5 registered voters supported Trump, indicating a lack of enthusiasm among his base. This is the largest gap in nearly 20 years, last seen in 2006 against George W. Bush.

The 2025 elections have exposed a potential electoral problem for Trump and the Republican Party. With a majority of voters opposing Trump and only a fifth supporting him, the party may need to reassess its strategies and policies moving forward.
