Overview

  • President Trump's approval rating ranges from 39% to 45%, the lowest for any president at the 100-day point since at least the 1940s.
  • Widespread disapproval stems from economic policies, with 72% of Americans fearing his tariffs and inflation measures could lead to a recession.
  • Among independents, approval has dropped to 31%, reflecting sharp declines in support outside his Republican base.
  • While immigration and border security continue to garner net positive approval, confidence in Trump's handling of other key issues, including foreign policy and government management, has eroded.
  • The 100-day milestone underscores deep partisan divides, with 86% of Republicans approving of Trump compared to 93% of Democrats disapproving.
