Overview

• Newsweek’s tracker places Trump’s net approval at a record low of -11 (43% approve, 54% disapprove), while Quinnipiac records 37% approve and 55% disapprove, a series low net -18.
• Gallup reports its widest-ever satisfaction gap on the country’s direction, with 76% of Republicans satisfied and essentially 0% of Democrats, and pegs Trump’s job approval at 40%.
• YouGov/Economist finds opinion intensity hardening, with 70% holding strong views and 47% strongly disapproving versus 23% strongly approving.
• Multiple polls show the president underwater on most issues; inflation ranks worst at 34% approve and 61% disapprove, tariffs test poorly, and economic readings show 2.7% inflation in June and July with 73,000 jobs added in July.
• Republican leaders and Trump have publicly claimed soaring approval, a narrative at odds with recent findings from Quinnipiac, Gallup, Reuters/Ipsos, and Newsweek’s tracker.
