Majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's second term — what new PA poll shows
A majority of Americans said they disapprove of President Donald Trump's second term — with even some Republicans hitting the president — as immigration remains his strongest policy issue. A new NBC News Decision Desk Poll, conducted along with SurveyMonkey, found that 45% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 55% disapprove. Those figures remain unchanged from an NBC News survey in April. Trump's rating differs along party lines. Large turnout at Bucks No Kings protest: 'No Kings' protest outside Bucks County congressman's office draws 1,800 protesters Among Republicans, 89% approve of the president's second term in office, compared to 8% of Democrats and 35% of independents. Approximately 12% of Republicans said they disapprove of the president's job, compared to 92% of Democrats and 65% of independents. Republicans were five percentage points less likely to report that they strongly support the president's administration compared to the survey results from April. Much of that shift came from respondents who said they identify as part of the president's "Make America Great Again," aka MAGA, movement. The latest survey was conducted among 19,410 adults nationwide between May 30 and June 10. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points. Know your rights with ICE: ICE officers are working in Bucks County. Here are your rights if questioned According to Rasmussen Reports national polling, Trump has dropped 1 percentage point to 52% approval rating as of June 16 compared to the previous week. His approval ratings this month have hovered between 50% and 53%. The latest Quantus Insights poll shows Trump's job approval at 48%, roughly the same as earlier this month, versus a 49% disapproval rate which is up 1 percentage point among 1,000 registered voters surveyed. The president is underwater on economic topics, with 42% of voters believing the country is moving in the right direction and Trump is handling the economy well, while 53% disagree on those points. RealClear Polling, which encompasses the average of 15 different pollsters, including all of those mentioned above, shows that Trump's overall favorability is 46.5% with 50.5% who disapprove. These numbers have improved since his lows at the end of April, when it reached a 52.4% disapproval rating and 45.1% favorable approval rating. According to the most recent Civiqs polls, updated as of June 13, Trump's approval ratings remained below water in the Keystone State with 52% disapproving of the president compared with 45% who approve. An additional 4% were "unsure." The ratings are roughly the same as they were as of May 15 when the spread was 52% disapproving and 44% approving of the president. Trump has focused much of his presidency on advancing his immigration agenda, including deporting thousands of migrants to countries such as Colombia, Mexico and El Salvador. During his 2024 campaign, the sweeping deportations became his signature promise to voters. Now, Trump is leading on the issue. According to the survey, 51% of Americans approve Trump's handling of border security and immigration, while 49% disapprove. The latest Quantus Insights survey showed that 52% of 1,000 voters surveyed approve of Trumps immigration actions including deportations, while 46% disapprove. The survey was conducted as Trump sent National Guard troops to quell protests against immigration enforcement in the Los Angeles area against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat. Additional protests against the Trump administration's immigration actions have broken out across the country. On the economy, approximately 45% of Americans reported that "their personal financial situation" is about the same as it was last year, and 34% said it has gotten worse. Approximately 21% said their finances have improved over the last year, results that didn't see a major shift from NBC's survey in April.

Trump approval rating: New poll released after US strikes on Iran
President Donald Trump's approval rating has largely held steady in recent weeks, though a pair of polls released following his decision to bomb multiple nuclear sites in Iran offer initial glimpses into how the conflict could be affecting Americans' opinions of his job performance. Two polls released this week showed the president at a 41% approval rating, a few points below June averages that have hovered around 45%. The poll numbers come amid a CNN/SSRS survey also released this week showing a majority of Americans disapprove of the president's strikes in Iran. In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, June 26, the Republican leader had a 41% approval rating among respondents, with 54% disapproving. This compares to Quinnipiac's poll released June 11, when 38% approved and 54% disapproved. New poll: Majority of Americans disapprove of US strikes on Iran Respondents gave Trump less-than-majority marks across his handling of seven key issues: The military: 45% approve, 49% disapprove Foreign policy: 40% approve, 54% disapprove The Israel-Iran war: 39% approve, 53% disapprove Immigration: 41% approve, 57% disapprove Deportations: 39% approve, 59% disapprove The economy: 39% approve, 56% disapprove Trade: 38% approve, 55% disapprove The survey of registered voters was conducted June 22-24 among 979 respondents with a ±3.1% margin of error. The poll was conducted after the U.S. strikes on Iran, which occurred June 21 (in EST). A Reuters/Ipsos poll released earlier this week gave Trump a similar 41% approval number, the lowest that the poll has found in his second term and down one point from earlier in the month. The poll opened after U.S. airstrikes on Iran June 21 and ended early June 23 before Iran said it attacked a U.S. air base in Qatar. The Reuters/Ipsos survey gave him a 57% disapproval rating, with opinions of his stance on the economy and foreign policy both slipping four points to 35% approval. An average of recent polling from the New York Times shows Trump's approval rating at 44%, as of Thursday, June 26, with 53% disapproving of his job performance. Pollster Nate Silver's "Silver Bulletin" newsletter calculated the president has a 45% approval and 52% disapproval Thursday, and RealClearPolitics' average was slightly higher, giving the president a 46% approval and 51% disapproval rating.

EXCLUSIVE Trump's approval rating revealed after Iran strikes divide the nation
For all the twists and turns of the '12 Day War' between Israel and Iran - including President Donald Trump 's decision to drop bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites - the president's approval rating remained extraordinarily stable. A new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll found that Trump's approval rating stood at 47 percent. It was also 47 percent on June 6, before Israel made the decision to start bombing Iran on June 12, with the goal of obliterating the Islamic regime's nuclear program. And it was 47 percent on June 18, three days before the U.S. got involved. The president's disapproval rating stayed at 53 percent throughout. That doesn't mean that Trump's actions during the Israeli-Iranian conflict didn't have some consequences. Around a third of voters said their view of the president has gotten more negative in recent weeks. Thirty-six percent shared this opinion, while another 30 percent said they view Trump more positively. When respondents were asked why their view of Trump became more negative, 30 percent said it was because they feared war and conflict with Iran. Twenty percent answered it was Trump's 'dictatorial behavior' and the fact that he bombed Iran without Congressional approval beforehand. Another 16 percent they were worried about the president being too self-interested and ego-driven. On the flip side, among the 30 percent who responded that they viewed Trump more favorably, Iran was also cited - with 30 percent saying so. On Monday night, the president announced that a ceasefire deal had been agreed to between Israel and Iran after Iran responded to the U.S. attack by firing missiles - that were intercepted - toward the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The poll was conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday - and on Tuesday morning Trump used the F-bomb to school Israel and Iran, as he encouraged them to keep the ceasefire in place. So far it has held. Another 24 percent who said they had a more positive view of Trump did so because of his 'strong leader' and 'strength.' The biggest group, 36 percent, said they viewed Trump more positively because he was fulfilling his campaign promises and getting things done. On the campaign trail during the 2024 cycle, the president had pledged to keep the United States out of World War III and also out of prolonged military entanglements - like the War on Terror-era wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The poll of 1,025 registered voters was conducted June 24-25. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.

The poll also found a plurality, 45%, of U.S. adults surveyed do not support the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, while 36% support them and 19% said they were unsure. June 17 -13: An Economist/YouGov poll found 54% of voters disapprove of Trump's job performance, while 41% approve (the survey of 1,512 U.S. adults was conducted June 13-16 and has a 3.3-point margin of error). The survey also found Trump's approval rating is underwater when it comes to his handling of Iran, with 37% approving and 41% disapproving, while 60% of respondents, including 53% of 2024 Trump voters, say the U.S. should not get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran, as Trump has repeatedly threatened U.S. military intervention. June 17 -17: Trump's net approval rating improved two points in the latest Pew Research survey taken June 2-8, compared to the group's last poll in April, with the latest survey showing 41% approve and 58% disapprove (the survey of 5,044 U.S. adults has a 1.6-point margin of error). June 16 -6: Trump's net approval rating dipped two points in Morning Consult's latest weekly survey of 2,207 registered U.S. voters (margin of error 2), with 46% approving and 52% disapproving of his job performance, numbers the pollster notes are on par with his ratings in April and early May, during a downward spiral that coincided with his shock tariffs. June 16 -12: Trump's approval rating remained stagnant at 42% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken June 11-16, compared to the groups' May poll, but his disapproval rating increased two points, to 54%, in the latest survey of 4,258 U.S. adults (margin of error 2). June 16 -4: Trump's approval rating declined one point, from 47% to 46%, in the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris survey, compared to the groups' poll taken last month, while 50% of respondents said they disapprove of his job performance (the online survey of 2,097 registered voters was conducted June 11-12 and has a 2.2-point margin of error). Trump's approval rating in the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll has dropped every month since February, when he had a 52% approval rating. Trump's approval rating for nine separate issues also declined from May to June, with less than half of voters saying they approve of each of them, with tariffs and trade policy receiving the lowest marks (41%) and immigration receiving the highest (49%). June 15 -10 net approval rating: More than half, 55%, of voters said they disapprove of Trump's job performance and 45% said they approve in an NBC survey of 19,410 U.S. adults conducted May 30-June 10 (margin of error 2.1). June 11 -16: Trump's approval rating dipped three points, to 38%, in Quinnipiac University's latest poll conducted June 5-9 among 1,265 registered voters (margin of error 2.8), compared to its previous poll in April, when he had a 41% approval rating, while his disapproval rating dropped one point, to 54%. The survey also found more voters, 57%, have an unfavorable opinion of Musk, while 53% have an unfavorable opinion of Trump, though more than half, 53%, oppose Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' that was the source of Musk's rant against Trump last week. June 9 -10: A CBS/YouGov poll conducted June 4-6 found 45% approve of Trump's job performance, while 55% disapprove (the poll of 2,428 U.S. adults has a, 2.4-point margin of error). In a separate, one-day YouGov survey conducted June 5, amid Trump's feud with Musk, the majority of 3,812 U.S. adults (52%) said they side with neither Musk nor Trump, while 28% said they side with Trump, 8% said they side with Musk and 11% said they aren't sure. June 9 -4 net approval rating: Trump's approval rating improved one point, to 47%, in Morning Consult's weekly poll, while 51% disapprove of his job performance for the third week in a row (the survey of 1,867 registered U.S. voters has a 2-point margin of error). Trump's feud with Musk doesn't appear to have dented his approval ratings in the first two polls that overlapped with their public spat—though it's unclear how Americans perceive his response to protests in Los Angeles over his aggressive deportation push, as no reliable polling has been released since the protests began over the weekend. June 4 -4: For the first time in two months, less than half (49%) of U.S. adults surveyed by the Economist/YouGov disapprove of Trump's job performance, compared to 45% who strongly or somewhat approve, representing a significant improvement from the groups' April 19-22 poll, when Trump had a net -13 approval rating (the latest poll of 1,610 U.S. adults conducted May 30-June 2 has a 3-point margin of error). June 2 -5: Trump's approval rating dropped from 48% to 46% in this week's Morning Consult poll compared to its previous survey, while his disapproval rating was stagnant at 51% (the May 30-June 2 poll of 2,205 registered voters has a 2-point margin of error). May 27 -3: Trump's approval rating stayed stagnant, at 48%, in Morning Consult's weekly poll released Tuesday, while his disapproval rating increased one point, to 51%, compared to last week's survey (the May 23-25 survey of 2,208 registered voters has a two-point margin of error). Trump had a 41% average approval rating during his first term, the lowest of any post-World War II president, though Biden was a close second with a 42% average approval rating, according to Gallup. -8: Trump's score improved one point, from 43% to 44%, in an Economist/YouGov survey of 1,660 U.S. adults conducted May 23-26 (margin of error 3.2) that found his disapproval rating stayed stagnant, at 52%, compared to the groups' survey last week. May 19 -10: Trump's approval rating dipped to 42% in the latest Ipsos/Reuters survey of 1,024 U.S. adults taken May 16-18 (margin of error 3), a two-point decline from the groups' May 12-13 poll, while his disapproval rating held at 52%. The 42% approval rating matches Trump's lowest approval rating recorded by Reuters/Ipsos during his second term. May 19 -8: Trump's approval rating, 43%, was unchanged in the Economist/YouGov poll of 1,710 U.S. adults conducted May 16-19 (margin of error 3.2) compared to the groups' previous poll earlier this month, while his disapproval rating (51%) ticked down one point. May 19 -2: Trump's approval rating has improved two points, from 46% to 48%, and his disapproval rating has decreased two points, from 52% to 50%, in Morning Consult's most recent poll, compared to its previous weekly survey (the most recent poll of 2,208 registered voters taken May 16-19 has a 2-point margin of error). May 19 -1: Trump's approval rating stands at 47% and his disapproval rating at 48% in a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll that also found widespread approval of his trip to the Middle East last week, with 59% of voters supporting his efforts to have strong relations with Saudi Arabia and 59% approving of his removal of sanctions against the Syrian government (the May 14-15 survey of 1,903 registered voters has a 2.2-point margin of error). The poll found a three-point decrease in Trump's net approval rating compared to the groups' April survey. May 13 -9: Trump's disapproval rating remained steady at 52%, while his approval rating ticked up one point, to 43%, in the Economist/YouGov's weekly survey of 1,786 adult citizens taken May 9-12 (margin of error 3), compared to their poll last week. May 12 -6: Trump's standing with voters in Morning Consult's weekly poll was unchanged from last week, with 46% approving and 52% disapproving in the May 9-11 survey of 2,221 registered voters (margin of error 2). May 9 -16: Trump's approval rating ticked up two points, to 41%, while his disapproval rating decreased by two points, to 57%, in an Associated Press/NORC survey of 1,175 adults taken May 1-5 compared to the groups' previous survey last month that found Trump with a net -20 disapproval rating (the latest poll has a margin of error of 4). May 6 -6: Slightly more than half, 52%, disapprove of Trump, a rating unchanged from last week's Morning Consult poll, while 46% approve, a one-point increase, according to the survey of 2,263 registered voters conducted May 2-4 (margin of error 2), as voters' sentiment about his handling of the economy improved from a net -6 to net -2. May 6 -10: An Economist/YouGov survey taken May 2-5 among 1,850 U.S. adults also found Trump has a 52% disapproval rating, and a 42% approval rating, marking the second week in a row Trump's approval rating did not fall after several weeks of decline (the poll has a margin of error of 3.5). The share of registered voters who say they identify with Trump's Make America Great Again movement has increased sharply during Trump's second term, according to NBC polling. A total of 36% of 1,000 registered voters polled March 7-11 said they consider themselves part of the MAGA coalition, compared to a 23% average in NBC's March polling and 27% in the network's 2024 polls (the most recent poll has a 3.1-point margin of error). 45%. That's Trump's average approval rating so far during his second term, higher than his 41% average approval rating throughout the duration of his first term, according to Gallup. In the fifth month of his term, Trump is dealing with Israel's attacks on Iran and weighing whether to join the Israeli military campaign and strike Iran's nuclear facilities. At the same time, Congress is negotiating the terms of Trump's signature policy legislation that would enact some of his most significant campaign promises, including an extension of his 2017 tax cuts and tighter border controls, while his mass deportation push has prompted protests and numerous lawsuits. Trump's approval rating has declined since the start of his term, coinciding with his wide-ranging 'Liberation Day' tariffs he announced on April 2 against nearly all U.S. trading partners, though he has largely backed off most of the levies. Other big moments in Trump's presidency include the leak of U.S. military attack plans to Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and his efforts to slash the federal workforce with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency. He's hosted several world leaders for explosive Oval Office sit downs, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who Trump argued with over false claims that white farmers in the country were victims of a genocide, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February. Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president in front of the media.
