Overview
- A Pew Research Center survey conducted August 4–10 shows Trump has 38 percent job approval with 60 percent disapproval.
- Gallup reports 37 percent approval, Reuters/Ipsos finds roughly 40 percent, and aggregators from The New York Times and RealClearPolitics average in the mid-40s.
- Approval among 2024 Trump voters has fallen from 95 percent at the start of his term to 85 percent this month.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson’s and Rep. Darrell Issa’s claims of ‘skyrocketing’ popularity clash with polling data and analysts’ assessments.
- Morning Consult tracking shows positive net approval in 27 states and a YouGov/Economist poll records a modest Gen Z rebound that still leaves that cohort disapproving overall.
