What is President Trump's approval rating a year after assassination attempt in PA
After surviving an attempted assassination a year ago on July 13 and a chaotic start to his first six months in office, here's how Americans feel about President Donald Trump in the latest approval rating polls. The president's second term has been mired in controversial politics and policies, taking Americans on a roller coaster of economic and social ups and downs that include his ongoing tariff and trade negotiations, mass government firings and DOGE cuts, nationwide ICE raids, the bombing of Iran, and most recent passage of the One, Big Beautiful Bill. Trump's job approval rating in his first term averaged a 41.1% approval rating with a 56.1% disapproval rate, however he has come into his second term with stronger favorable numbers, according to the polls. Here's how Americans are feeling about Trump's presidential job performance now. According to today's Rasmussen Reports polling, Trump's approval has slipped to 48% approval rating versus 50% that disapprove. This is down from his highest rating this term in January, when it was at 56% approval and 40% disapproval. In this week's Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's job approval dropped to 42% with a 53% disapproval. Within the same poll, 67% of respondents described the state of the economy as fair or better with 28% describing it as poor. The weekend's Morning Consult poll saw Trump's favorability dipping to 45% and a rising disapproval rating of 52%. In a Quantus Insights poll ending July 2, 47% approved of Trump's job as president, while 49% disapproved and 4% reported not sure. Ahead of Fourth of July, the pollsters asked about American pride, with 77% responding they are proud to be American and 23% said not proud. Along the same vein, Americans were asked which American values they hold most dear, the response was freedom of speech, equality under the law, democracy/voting rights, the right to bear arms, and religious liberty, in that order. RealClear Polling which encompasses the average of different 15 different pollsters, including all those mentioned above, shows Trump's overall favorability declining this week to 46.3% that approve and 50.3% that disapprove. These numbers are still on improvement since his lows at the end of April, when it reached a 52.4% disapproval rating and 45.1% favorable approval rating. Note: Polls are constantly changing and different pollsters ask different varieties of the population. These numbers were reflected as of Friday, July 11, 2025 at 11 a.m. According to Civiqs polls, last updated July 9, Trump sits at a -9% net approval rating in Pennsylvania. About 52% of Pennsylvanians polled currently disapprove of the president's performance. About 44% of respondents approve of Trump's job performance and another 4% didn't feel one way or the other. These polling numbers were also broken down by age, education, gender, race and party.

Gen Z singles giving up on dating as ‘loneliness epidemic' spirals: poll
Burned out by ghosting, mixed signals and endless 'situationships,' young singles are calling it quits on dating — no longer holding out for a fairytale ending that never texts back. 'We're single because we're out here looking for '90s love in this generation,' one fed-up TikToker declared. 'We want slow jams, handwritten notes and phone calls on landlines . . . not 'what are you doing' texts followed by eight hours of silence.' A new Rasmussen Reports poll of more than 1,200 American adults shows 37% of singles under 30 say they're not interested in dating, with half of all singles saying they're not even looking. 3 Gen Z is increasingly reluctant to date, with 37% of singles under 30 saying they're not interested in a relationship. Home-stock – Even the apps can't keep love alive: only 33% of singles have ever used one, and nearly a third of those say they've logged off for good. Democrats were the most likely to be single and not looking, with 49% opting out, while Republicans were more likely to be married and off the apps entirely, with 59% reporting they were hitched, the poll found. That trend shifts by age and gender: among singles under 40, men were more likely than women to say they're not interested in dating, at 39% compared to 30% — a reversal of older age groups, where women were more likely to opt out. The findings mirror a broader hesitation around dating itself, as more young adults question whether it's worth the time, energy or emotional cost. 'Gen Z is pulling back from romantic relationships overall, not just marriage,' said Dr. Jean Twenge, author of 'Generations: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents — and What They Mean for America's Future.' 'They are more interested in safety than previous generations . . . and they may see dating as unsafe given its potential for hurt.' In 2000, 80% of U.S. high school seniors had dated in the past year. By 2023, that number had dropped to 45%, according to nationally representative data cited by Twenge. This generational pullback is now part of what researchers call a growing 'loneliness epidemic.' A 2024 study by market research company GlobalWebIndex found 80% of Gen Z respondents said they'd felt lonely in the past year, more than any other generation surveyed. 3 Gen Z doesn't think dating is worth the time or stress and while many may crave intimacy, they don't want endless scrolling or awkward conversations with strangers. oatawa – The 'why' is complex: rising depression rates, a decline in in-person friendships and even easy access to pornography may all be playing a role, Twenge said. But other experts say the shift isn't about giving up on love, just reordering priorities. 'Finding a romantic partner isn't a primary goal — instead, they're prioritizing their mental well-being and dreams for their career,' said Amanda Gesselman, director of sex and relationship science at Many young people may crave intimacy, just not the kind that starts with endless scrolling or awkward conversations with strangers, said Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. 'They are not comfortable talking to people they don't already know from some natural connection,' Tannen told The Post. 'If their experience of dating is associated with apps, it's easy to understand why many might decide to swear off: too alienating, too much disappointment, too intimidating to put oneself on the line that way.' That discomfort shows up in daily habits, too. 3 In 2000, 80% of U.S. high school seniors had dated in the past year. By 2023, that number had dropped to 45%, according to nationally representative data. Davide Angelini – Some Gen Zers even avoid calling restaurants and prefer to order online, a small example of how communication itself feels riskier to them, Tannen said. On TikTok, the frustration plays out in real time. One post with nearly 300,000 likes read, 'Single because this generation is full of lust, liars and cheaters.' Another viral video, which pulled in more than 800,000 likes, put it more personally: 'Me trying to explain to my friends how I'm literally going to be single forever because dating in this generation is stupid and I'm tired of mfs playing with my time.' Others kept it blunt. 'I'm staying single for the rest of my life,' one user wrote. 'Single because no guy will ever understand me,' another added.

Trump's Approval Rating Hits Lowest Level in Weeks With Republican Pollster
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The proportion of Americans who approve of President Donald Trump's performance in office has fallen to its lowest level since May 22, according to a new poll conducted by conservative-leaning pollster Rasmussen Reports. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email on Saturday outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters Trump's approval rating is a key metric in recording how the American public views his presidency and is likely to have a significant impact on the November 2026 midterm elections where Democrats are hoping to overturn the Republican Party's narrow control over the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. What To Know Rasmussen Reports is conducting daily opinion approval surveys for Trump, with 300 likely voters polled each day on what they think of the president's actions. These results are reported over a five-day rolling average basis, with the full 1,500 likely voter survey having a plus or minus 2.5 percent margin of error. No poll was conducted on Friday due to the Fourth of July holiday, with the most recent survey result being published on Thursday, July 3. In that poll, 49 percent of those surveyed approved of Trump's performance in office against 48 percent who disapproved. This gave Trump a net approval rating of +1, though the pollster noted that only 36 percent "strongly" approved while 41 percent "strongly" disapproved of Trump's performance. Trump's Thursday score of 49 percent was his lowest "total approval" figure from Rasmussen Reports' daily polling since May 22, when it also sat at 49 percent. The last time Trump's approval fell under this figure was on April 30, when it was 48 percent. Overall Trump's performance was worse on May 22 when 49 percent of voters also disapproved of his actions, giving him a net approval rating of zero. On April 30, 50 percent of voters disapproved of Trump's performance, giving him a net rating of -2. By contrast, Rasmussen Reports' polls found 52 percent of likely American voters approved of Trump's conduct on June 25 and 53 percent did on June 13. Rasmussen Reports has a track record of working for conservative politicians and causes and was described as "right-wing" and "more favorable for Republican candidates and issues" by The Washington Post, though the pollster insists its surveys are free and impartial. A recent survey by Civiqs, a rival pollster, found that out of 50 states sampled, Trump had a net positive approval rating in 21 and a net negative in 29. Civiqs received 35,929 responses for its survey. Nationally, a poll of 1,590 U.S. adults conducted by YouGov for The Economist between June 20 and 23 found Trump had a net approval rating of -14. A separate YouGov/Yahoo poll of 1,597 adults conducted over June 26 to 30 found Trump's net approval with Gen Z voters had fallen to -41 percentage points, a deterioration from -23 percentage points in May.

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/GETTY What People Are Saying Dafydd Townley, a U.S.-focused political scientist at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, told Newsweek: "The Big Beautiful Bill could prove costly to the Republican Party if the promised tax cut benefits are not felt universally. Concerns over Medicaid and the closure of rural hospitals are also unlikely to be welcomed but Republicans in close-fought districts." He added: "While there is likely to be some pushback against the incumbent party, the Republicans have a tiny majority in the House and will be determined to minimize this. If the House does flip to the Democrats in 2026, there will undoubtedly be two years of political stalemate as it's unlikely there will be any bipartisan collaboration, much like the last two years of the first Trump administration." What Happens Next? On Friday, Trump signed his "Big Beautiful Bill," a major taxation and spending package, into law. This includes tax cuts, increased funding for the military and border security and reduced spending on Medicare. It remains to be seen how this will impact the president's popularity.

He then headed out to Canada for the G7 Summit, before he made an early exit to deal with the Iran-Israel conflict that started on Friday. Trump said he was still considering a U.S. military strike on Iran's nuclear sites, 'I may do it. I may not do it," Trump told reporters at the White House on June 18. "Nobody knows what I'm going to do." "The next week is going to be very big," he said. "Maybe less than a week.'' 'Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate,' Trump added. 'And I said, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you negotiate?' I said to people, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.'' In an InsiderAdvantage poll taken this week, June 15-16, Trump racked up a 54.4% approval over a 44.1% disapproval of his job performance.
