Trump Approval Hits Second-Term Low as Disapproval Tops 54%

Economic pressures have pushed public dissatisfaction to a new peak in his second term.

Overview

  • Zogby finds 43% approval versus 54% disapproval (net -11) and ActiVote records 44.5% approval with 52.1% disapproval, its highest disapproval rating of the year.
  • Reuters/Ipsos and YouGov/Economist place his approval at 40% with disapproval at 56% and 55%, respectively.
  • Polls of registered or likely voters average a 47.4% approval, more than six points above the 41% average in all-adult samples, a gap largely driven by noncitizen responses.
  • Support among parents plummeted from 64% in May to 50% in July as federal budget proposals slashed funding for Head Start and other child-care services.
  • A Justice Department memo confirming Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 suicide and absence of a "client list" has intensified bipartisan demands for transparency without bolstering presidential support.
