New Approval Ratings Reveal Americans’
Trump Faces Falling Approval Nine Months Into Second Term
New polls reveal growing dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump.
Nine months into his term, the 79-year-old leader is struggling to maintain broad support.
Active Presidency, Mixed Reactions
Trump has reshaped government through executive orders, policy shifts, and speeches.
He has tackled trade deals, immigration, and challenged media,
universities, and the legal system. Yet many Americans remain unimpressed.
Declining Numbers
Approval ratings, usually high at the start of a presidency, have dropped.
Support is weakening even on core issues like immigration and crime.
YouGov data show optimism about the economy and inflation has faded,
while trade and immigration policies hurt scores, even in previously supportive states.
Support Base & Trump’s Response
Trump’s strongest backing comes from white and male voters, while younger and minority Americans remain critical.
Defiant, he told Fox News: “Well, when the factories start opening… Fox polling…
it’s the worst polling I’ve ever had,” and predicted a narrow 2024 election win despite the numbers.
