Trump Faces Record-Low Approval Ratings Early in Second Term

Polling data shows Donald Trump's approval ratings are historically low for a newly inaugurated president, with dissatisfaction growing over his economic policies and leadership decisions.

Donald Trump's net approval ratings are negative, with Gallup reporting a six-point deficit—making him the least popular president at this stage in office since polling began 72 years ago.
Trump's handling of the economy, once a political strength, is now a major liability, with polls showing disapproval due to rising inflation and controversial tariff policies.
Multiple surveys, including those from CNN, Reuters, and Gallup, reveal a consistent decline in Trump's job approval ratings, with figures ranging between 44% and 47%.
Public dissatisfaction extends beyond the economy, with a majority of respondents expressing concerns over Trump's executive actions, mass layoffs, and perceived overreach of authority.
Despite the negative polling, Trump has publicly claimed fabricated approval ratings as high as 71%, a stark contrast to all publicly available data.
