Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 37%, one of the lowest points since he returned to the White House. In contrast, 63% of Americans disapprove of the way he is handling his job.
For comparison, just months earlier, in mid-February, Trump enjoyed a 47% approval rating — a temporary boost following his re-election. The decline since then marks a steep drop in public confidence.
The Economy and Cost of Living Dominate Concerns
The poll found that 47% of respondents named the economy and cost of living as their top concern, more than any other issue. Inflation, high grocery prices, and rent costs continue to weigh heavily on households.
The state of U.S. democracy came second, cited by 26% of respondents — a sharp sign that Americans are increasingly worried about political division and government gridlock.
Surprisingly, despite Trump’s long-standing focus on immigration, only 10% of those surveyed identified it as their primary concern.
When asked about the direction of the country, 68% said things were going “pretty badly” or “very badly,” while just 32% said the U.S. is doing “fairly well.”
Many Say Trump’s Policies Have Made Things Worse
Americans remain divided on Trump’s record, but on the economy, most feel his actions have hurt rather than helped.
- 61% believe his policies have worsened economic conditions.
- Only 27% say his approach has improved things.
In foreign policy, the trend is similar: 56% say Trump has weakened America’s global standing, while 32% think he has strengthened it.
