Overview

• President Trump’s average net approval rating stands at –12 points across five recent national polls, all showing double-digit deficits.
• This marks the lowest 100-day approval rating for any president in at least eight decades, according to historical comparisons.
• CNN analyst Harry Enten refuted claims from Trump and his allies that polling inaccuracies from 2024 undermine the reliability of current data, calling such arguments baseless.
• Even when accounting for past polling errors from 2024 and 2018, Trump’s adjusted approval ratings would still range from –10 to –13 points, remaining deeply underwater.
• Experts emphasize that Trump’s declining approval could impact his legislative momentum and broader political narratives as his second term progresses.
