Overview

• President Trump is the only U.S. leader to have a negative net approval rating two months into a term, a distinction he now holds twice, with disapproval rates ranging from 49% to 58%.
• Economic dissatisfaction, especially regarding inflation and tariffs, is a key factor in his declining approval, with 56% to 58% disapproving of his handling of the economy in recent polls.
• While his overall ratings are underwater, Trump receives higher approval on specific issues like immigration (55%) and national security (52%).
• His approval ratings are slightly better than at the same point in his first term but remain historically low compared to other presidents.
• Upcoming events, including economic developments and foreign policy negotiations, are expected to influence his ratings further.
