Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to an all-time low, according to Newsweek’s latest poll tracker.
The tracker shows that 43 percent of Americans currently approve of Trump’s performance, while 53 percent disapprove—giving him a net approval rating of -10 points.
That marks a three-point decline from the previous day, when his net approval stood at -7. It also matches his lowest net rating since April 29, when he last hit -10—which was, at the time, his lowest on record.
Why It Matters
Trump’s poll numbers initially plunged after he announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs back in April. Although his approval ratings recovered somewhat soon after, his recent actions appear to have reignited public frustration with the White House.
This includes his decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to suppress anti-ICE protests, as well as ordering air strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran last weekend—strikes that polls show most voters oppose. In response, Iran retaliated by launching missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar on Monday.
Since then, surveys have shown Trump’s popularity has fallen to its lowest point on record.
What To Know
Several polls show that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to new lows for his second term.
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 1,223 adults, 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.
The latest Ipsos/Reuters, and American Research Group polls also 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 -12 points in last week’s poll. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
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.
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, with 45 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving, for a net approval rating of -8 points. That is down from -6 in the previous poll. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 points.
Other polls have also shown a downward trend in Trump’s approval rating in recent days.
That includes the latest Quantus Insights poll, conducted between June 23-25 among 1,000 registered voters, which shows Trump’s approval slipping slightly to 47 percent, down from 48 percent. His disapproval rating rose to 50 percent, up from 49 percent in the previous poll.
Meanwhile, a Tyson Group poll, conducted between June 25-26 among 1,027 U.S. adults, showed Trump’s net approval rating 6 points underwater, with 45 percent approving and 51 percent disapproving.
It comes as polling has shown Trump deep underwater on almost every issue.
The latest Quinnipiac poll showed that Trump was underwater on at least seven key issues. His lowest marks concerned his handling of deportations, where his net approval rating stood at -20, down from -16 in early June.
That was followed closely by trade and the economy, both at -17. On immigration—an issue long central to his political brand—Trump hit a new low in his second term, with a net approval of -16, down from -11 earlier in the month.
The survey also showed that 56 percent of voters disapproved of the way Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did its job, compared to 39 percent who approved. Nearly two-thirds of voters (64 percent), when given two choices, said they preferred giving most undocumented immigrants in the United States a pathway to legal status, while 31 percent said they preferred deporting most undocumented immigrants.
He also received negative ratings on foreign policy (-14), military affairs (-4), and his handling of the Israel-Iran conflict (-14), highlighting broad concerns over his approach to international crises.
The latest Emerson poll showed similar results. When asked whether Trump’s economic policies are making the economy better or worse, 46 percent of respondents said his policies are making things worse, compared to just 28 percent who said they are making the economy better. Another 26 percent said they believe it’s too soon to tell or that his actions have had no effect.
The poll also found that nearly half of voters disapprove of Trump’s overall handling of the U.S. economy. Forty-eight percent said they disapprove of the way he is managing economic issues, while only 37 percent approve.
On immigration—historically one of Trump’s signature issues—the public remains deeply divided. The survey shows that 48 percent approve of his approach to immigration policy and undocumented immigrants, while 40 percent disapprove. Just under 12 percent said they have no opinion.
Foreign policy appears to be another area of concern for voters. On key international conflicts, Trump’s ratings skew negative. Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, 45 percent of respondents disapprove of his handling, while 41 percent approve. On the war between Israel and Hamas, 41 percent disapprove and 38 percent approve.
Meanwhile, the Tyson Group poll showed more positive results for the president, who is 4 points above the water on immigration, with 48 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving. On foreign policy, voters were evenly split, with 45 percent approving and the same amount disapproving.
But on the issue of inflation, Trump is still deep underwater by 16 points, with 37 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving.
Still, a handful of polls recorded slight gains for Trump, though largely within the margin of error.
Quinnipiac’s latest poll, conducted between June 22-24 among 979 self-identified registered voters, shows Trump’s approval rating at 41 percent, a 3-point increase from the previous survey earlier this month. His disapproval rating remains unchanged at 54 percent.
The most recent RMG Research poll, conducted between June 11-19, put his approval rating up one at 53 percent, while his disapproval rating remained the same at 46 percent.
And 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 is up from +8 in last month’s poll, when 54 percent approved and 46 percent disapproved.
The latest Emerson College poll, conducted between June 24-25 showed Trump’s approval rating largely unchanged from April, with 45 percent approving and 46 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating of -1.
