Overview

  • A YouGov/Economist survey conducted June 6–9 finds Trump’s overall approval at 43 percent and disapproval at 52 percent, marking a two-point swing in one week.
  • Approval among millennials plunged to 40 percent while 53 percent of that demographic now disapprove of his job performance.
  • A Quinnipiac University poll over the same period shows Trump under water on every major issue, including the economy (40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove), immigration (43/54) and the Russia-Ukraine war (34/57).
  • Alternative polls such as ActiVote and the Trafalgar Group report modest upticks in his approval, underscoring variation in methodologies and margins of error.
  • Political analysts point to buyer’s remorse over unmet promises on jobs and prices and growing unease with federal law-and-order actions as drivers of declining support.
