Overview

• A Pew Research Center survey conducted Aug. 4–10 finds Trump’s national job approval at 38 percent, the lowest since his inauguration, with 60 percent disapproval.
• An Economist/YouGov poll from Aug. 9–11 records Trump’s honesty rating at 31 percent and support among Republicans at 83 percent, down from roughly 92 percent in January.
• The DOJ and FBI publicly released a memo and video concluding Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and denying any secret client list, intensifying questions about Trump’s transparency.
• June’s 2.7 percent inflation reading, a July jobs gain of just 73,000, and an aggressive tariff program have heightened economic anxieties and eroded support for administration policies.
• State-level tracking by Morning Consult shows Trump retains positive approval in 27 states, reflecting localized pockets of resilience despite nationwide declines.
