Donald Trump’s approval ratings are sinking just nine months into his second term, with polls showing voters turning against him nationwide.
New Polls Reveal Trouble for Trump
Fresh approval ratings show that President Donald Trump is losing support across the United States, only nine months into his second term.
Despite pushing bold executive orders, fiery speeches, and major policy shifts, the latest polls suggest that many Americans are not convinced his leadership is working.
Approval Numbers Fall Fast
Most presidents start their terms with strong approval ratings. For Trump, things have been different. Just like in his first term, his numbers began split—and they’ve dropped quickly.
At first, some voters praised his handling of the economy and inflation. But confidence faded after his trade war rhetoric unsettled investors. Now, new polling shows approval falling sharply, even on issues like immigration and crime, which were once his strongest platforms.
Poll Breakdown Across States
Data from YouGov shows cracks appearing even in states that supported him strongly during the last election. This is a troubling sign for Republicans looking ahead to the midterms.
Support remains high among white and male voters.
Young Americans and minority groups remain his toughest critics.
Overall sentiment: The nation feels more divided than ever.
Trump Pushes Back Against Polls
The president is not backing down. Recently, he clashed with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum over the negative polling results.
Trump dismissed the data, calling Fox’s surveys “the worst polling I’ve ever had.” He insisted the economy would soon rebound, saying factories were opening and growth was on the way.
He even told Rupert Murdoch to “get a new pollster because he stinks.”
What It Means for His Presidency
The polls make it clear that Trump faces an uphill battle to win back public trust. Whether the ratings reflect reality or just temporary frustrations, the numbers highlight growing discontent in his base and beyond.
For Republicans, the big question is whether these slipping approval numbers will hurt them in upcoming elections.
