President Donald Trump's net approval rating dipped to its lowest point of his second term in the most recent Economist/YouGov survey, though a second poll this week showed a slight improvement from last week. President Donald Trump speaks to the press before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White ... More House on Friday April 25, 2025. The Washington Post via Getty Images July 15 -14 net approval rating: Trump's net approval rating dipped to its lowest point of his second term in Economist/YouGov polling, with 41% approving and 55% disapproving, according to the survey of 1,506 registered voters (margin of error 3.1)—consistent with his lowest approval rating of his first term, according to Economist/YouGov polling. July 14 -3: Trump's approval rating improved two points, to 47%, while his disapproval rating also improved two points, to 50%, in Morning Consult's weekly survey of 2,201 registered voters with a two-point margin of error. July 2 -16: Trump's approval rating stands at 40% in a Yahoo/YouGov poll of 1,597 U.S. adults conducted June 26-30 (margin of error 3.2), a four-point decrease from the groups' March poll, while 56% disapprove. Trump's -16 net approval rating is three points worse than it was at this point during his first term, according to YouGov data, while former President Barack Obama had a +14 net approval rating and former President Joe Biden had a +7 approval rating halfway through their first years in office. June 30 -3: Trump's disapproval rating improved from 53% to 50% in Morning Consult's weekly poll compared to its survey last week, while his approval rating increased from 45% to 47% (the survey of 2,202 registered voters was conducted June 27-29 and has a two-point margin of error). The rating was Trump's best since May and coincides with an uptick in respondents' approval of his handling of national security issues since last week, following a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Iran. June 23 -16: Trump's approval rating dipped one point, to 41%, in a Reuters/Ipsos survey of 1,139 U.S. adults taken June 21-23 from its June 11-16 survey, with 57% disapproving (the latest poll has a 3-point margin of error). 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). 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). 43%. 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 launched a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, leading to a cease-fire agreement during Iran and Israel. Congress also approves his 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.

Democrats underwater in new poll
The Democratic Party's approval rating is underwater at 40 percent, according to a new poll, the latest troubling sign for a party still grappling with its losses from November. A Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll released on Monday found that only 4 in 10 respondents approved of the job that the Democratic Party is doing, a slight drop from June, when 42 percent of respondents answered similarly. Of the 40 percent of respondents who gave the Democratic Party a thumbs-up, they included 72 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independent or other voters. The latest poll shows that the party's disapproval rating sits at 60 percent, slowly inching up from 58 percent in June. Twenty-eight percent of surveyed Democrats and 71 percent of independent and other voters contributed to the overall 60 percent disapproval rating of the party. By comparison, the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found the GOP with a 48 percent approval rating, which includes 85 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independent and other voters who had that sentiment. Overall, the GOP had a 52 percent disapproval rating. The polling underscores a broader trend for Democrats who have grappled with low approval ratings as the party has attempted to reset after a disappointing November election. While the party has begun to regain some of its footing with its messaging as it rallies against the Medicaid cuts included in Republicans' major policy bill, the party is still searching for national leaders to help guide the party. 'Democrats are doing a good job throwing jabs at the administration but that's not helping them with their own image, which remains in the cellar,' said Mark Penn, chair of the Harris Poll, in an email. However, the Harvard CAPS/Harris polling indicates there may be several openings for Democrats: For one, the latest poll found that only 40 percent of respondents said the country was on the right track, while 51 percent said it was on the wrong track. And while 52 percent of respondents believe the U.S. economy is strong today, only 38 percent of respondents also say that the economy is on the right track. One thing likely to play in Democrats' favor is that the president's party in power typically faces headwinds during the midterm cycle, which could aid Democrats in retaking the House and making inroads in the Senate. The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey was conducted from July 6 to July 8 and surveyed 2,044 registered voters. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll. The survey is an online sample and weighted to reflect known demographics. The margin of error is 2.2 percentage points. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

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. Age: Those between 18-34 were most unfavorable of Trump (62%), while those 50 to 64 were the most favorable (53%). Education: Respondents across all education levels disapprove of Trump' s job performance, with postgraduates at 63% disapproval, college graduates at 53% and 49% of non-college graduates. Gender: Men and women are split on Trump, more than half of females (58%) holding an unfavorable view and about half of males (50%) having a favorable view of the president. Party: Members of the Republican party were 88% favorable of Trump, compared to the Democratic party, who felt just 2% favorable of the president's performance. Half of Independent voters were unfavorable (50%). Race: Black voters had the highest unfavorable opinion of Trump (90%), followed by other races at 62%, Hispanic/Latino at 61% and white at 49%.

Trump approval rating positive in Florida. How does it compare to national polls?
President Donald Trump's approval rating dipped in two of the three polls taken since his signature tax cut and spending bill passed in Congress on July 3. The final version of the bill, signed into law July 4, emerged after nearly four days of wangling among Senate Republicans, with the expansive cuts to Medicaid, along with decreases in funding to Medicare. The bill also extends the 2017 tax cuts while expanding the budget for immigration enforcement. Gallup polling shows that Trump's approval ratings at the six-month mark in both of his terms are lower than any other modern president at the same time in their administrations, at 38% and 40% for each term, respectively. The average since John F. Kennedy in 1961 is 52%, according to the polling firm. As he approaches six months in office, how well do Floridians think Trump is doing as president? How does that compare nationally?

That is according to a July 9 update from Morning Consult, which gathered polls over the course of three months to get a look at state-level data among registered voters. Florida is among 27 states where Trump has received a net positive approval rating. His best ranking is in Wyoming, where 67% of voters approve of his performance, Morning Consult data shows. His worst ranking is in Vermont, where 64% disapprove of how he is handling his job. An Economist assessment of YouGov data shows that an equal number of poll respondents in Florida approve and disapprove of Trump's job performance.
