Overview

• An Economist/YouGov poll conducted July 25–28 reports 40% approval and 55% disapproval, yielding a net rating of minus 15 percent—the lowest of Trump’s second term.
• Approval on major issues is underwater with an 11-point drop on jobs and the economy, a 25-point slide on inflation and prices, and a six-point decline on immigration.
• Separate Gallup polling shows a 37% job approval rating six months into his second term, matching his lowest mark in that cycle and nearing his all-time low.
• President Trump asserts record support of 90–95% among Republicans and the MAGA base, highlighting a stark partisan divide in his approval figures.
• Political analysts caution that sustained disapproval may erode Trump’s legislative influence and challenge GOP prospects in the 2026 midterm elections.
