Donald Trump, one of the leading contenders for the 2024 presidential election, is facing a sharp decline in his approval ratings after his unsuccessful debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. According to various polls, only about 44-46% of voters are ready to vote for him now, which is significantly lower than expected.

The reason for such a decline in support was the mistakes and shortcomings made by Trump during the debates. According to sources in the US Republican Party itself, his performance is assessed as catastrophic. Some influential members of the party have already admitted that Trump made serious miscalculations and this has seriously damaged his chances of winning the upcoming elections.

Critics say the former president has appeared unsure and has failed to provide clear answers to questions on key topics such as the economy, foreign policy and social issues. His statements on foreign policy have been particularly controversial, with many believing he has not demonstrated sufficient readiness to address current international challenges.
