Overview

• President Trump's net approval rating has risen to -5.8, up nearly four points from a late-April low of -9.7, according to Nate Silver's aggregated polls.
• A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll shows 47% approval and 48% disapproval, marking the first time in Trump's second term that disapproval exceeds approval.
• Public perception of the economy has improved, with 51% of respondents now rating it as strong, the first majority since mid-2021.
• The U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day tariff reduction, which, along with a U.S.-UK trade deal, has contributed to the slight rebound in Trump's approval ratings.
• Despite these gains, 57% of voters view Trump's tariff policies as harmful to the economy, identifying them as his administration's biggest failure.
