Summary

Donald Trump’s approval rating has slipped into negative territory for the first time in his second term, with 47% approval and 49% disapproval according to Newsweek’s polling average.

Economic concerns appear to be driving the decline, with 57% of Americans viewing his economic moves as “too erratic” and 61% disapproving of his tariff policies.

Trump’s current approval rating is lower than both Joe Biden’s at the same point in his presidency (53%) and Trump’s own numbers from his first term (50%).

Polling shows particular dissatisfaction with his handling of inflation and government spending.

    Those numbers are complete bullshit. Less than half of the country voted for him. No way his approval was ever over 35%

      It baffles me that these surveys turn up anything over 35%. The ignorant or disengaged voters really are the strength of the regime.
