President Donald Trump‘s approval rating has taken a sharp hit across multiple recent polls, signaling potential trouble for the president.
The latest Ipsos/Reuters and American Research Group polls show Trump’s net approval rating at record lows for his second term.
In the Ipsos/Reuters poll, conducted between June 21-23 among 1,139 registered voters, Trump’s net approval rating stood at -16 points, with 41 percent approving and 57 percent disapproving. That is down from a previous low of net approval of -12 points in last week’s poll. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Similarly, in the latest American Research Group poll, conducted June 17-20 among 1,100 adults, Trump’s net approval rating hit -21 points, with 38 percent approving and 59 percent disapproving, down from a low of -14 points in the previous poll conducted in May.
And the latest Morning Consult poll, conducted between June 20-22 among 2,205 registered voters, did not show Trump’s approval rating at an all-time low. But it did show a notable decline in Trump’s approval rating, with 45 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating of -8 points. That is down from a -6 net approval rating in the previous poll. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 points.
Why It Matters
The drop comes amid a broader downward trend in Trump’s approval rating, which was particularly pronounced after his “Liberation Day” tariffs. But the question of direct U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran has visibly contributed to the drop as polls have shown the majority of voters do not support it. Trump ordered airstrikes against three key Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. In retaliation, Iran fired missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar on Monday.
What To Know
Multiple polls have shown a downward trend in Trump’s approval rating in recent days. That includes Newsweek’s tracker, which shows Trump’s net approval rating at -5 points, with 47 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving. That is down from earlier this month when Trump’s net approval rating sat at -2 for more than a week.
The latest YouGov/Economist poll, conducted between June 13-16 among 1,512 adults, put Trump’s approval rating at 41 percent, down 2 points since last week, with 54 percent disapproving, up 2 points.
And in the latest J.L. Partners poll, conducted on June 16-17, Trump’s approval held steady at 46 percent. But disapproval was up 11 points to 51 percent since the last poll in February.
Still, a handful of polls recorded slight gains for Trump, though largely within the margin of error.
In the latest Echelon Insights poll (June 17-18) and Fox News poll (June 13-16), Trump’s approval rating was up 2 points, while disapproval was down by 1 point compared to last month.
An InsiderAdvantage poll, conducted on June 15-16 among 1,000 likely voters, put his approval rating at 54 percent, with 44 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating of +10 points. That was virtually unchanged from May.
And the most recent RMG Research poll, conducted between June 11-19, put his approval rating up one to 53 points, while his disapproval rating remained the same at 46 points.
In the latest Trafalgar Group poll, conducted between June 18-20, 54 percent approved of Trump’s job performance, while 45 percent disapproved, giving him a net approval of +9 points. That up from +8 in last month’s poll, when 54 percent approved and 46 percent disapproved.
