Overview

• Election analyst Nate Silver reports Trump’s net approval near negative double digits, with strong disapproval peaking at 44 percent in his tracker before easing slightly.
• An Economist/YouGov poll finds 39 percent approval and 56 percent disapproval, matching the lowest reading of Trump’s second term in that series.
• Major polls from NYT/Siena, Pew, Marist, Marquette, YouGov/Economist, Morning Consult and Quinnipiac all show negative net approval in recent readings.
• Harvard CAPS/Harris finds 52 percent say Trump’s policies are reducing jobs and 58 percent say tariffs are harming the economy, even as the White House highlights broad support for many stated policy priorities.
• Early polling after the federal shutdown shows limited movement in topline approval but more voters assigning blame to Republicans and Trump, raising potential downside risk.
