Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Falls to Lowest Point

Several polls show that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low for his second term.

The latest Gallup poll, conducted between June 2-19 among 1,000 adults, shows that Trump’s net approval rating stands at -17 points, with 40 percent approving and 57 percent disapproving. That is done from -10 points in May, the previous lowest result recorded by Gallup. The poll had a margin of error of ± 4 percent.

Meanwhile, the latest YouGov/Economist poll, conducted between June 20-23 among 1,590 adults, shows Trump with a net approval rating of -14 points, with 40 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving—down slightly from -13 last week. The poll had a margin of error of ± 3.5 percent.

Similarly, a new Bullfinch Group poll, conducted between June 17-20 among 1,006 registered voters, puts his net approval at -13 points, with 41 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval. That marks a sharp drop from -5 in May. The poll’s margin of error was ± 3.1 percent.

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

The latest Ipsos/Reuters, American Research Group polls also show Trump’s net approval rating at record lows for his second term.

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.
