President Donald Trump‘s approval rating has plummeted to its lowest point yet, according to new polling results released Thursday.
Results from a new AP-NORC poll showed that Americans have grown further dissatisfied with Trump’s handling of the economy and immigration, a clear sign that these could make his party vulnerable ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, The Associated Press reported. Only 31% of U.S. adults said they approve of how Trump is handling the economy, which is down 40% from March and “marks the lowest economic approval he’s registered in an AP-NORC poll in his first or second term.”
And while Republicans haven’t completely abandoned their support of the president, it does show his influence has slipped.
“The new poll found that 36% of Americans approve of the way he’s handling his job as president, which is down slightly from 42% in March,” AP reported. “That signals that even if some people aren’t happy with elements of his approach, they might not be ready to say he’s doing a bad job as president. And while discontent is increasing among Republicans on certain issues, they’re largely still behind him.”
Social media users responded to the news:
“Dumpster fire…” former Republican strategist Mike Murphy wrote on X.
“Lowest rated approval to date, and he’s so mentally gone, he won’t even notice,” user Bekah Freitas wrote on X.
“He’ll be in the 20’s soon,” writer Greg Cantwell posted on X.
“A new AP-NORC poll has Trump’s approval rating on the economy hitting a new low of 31%. His approval on immigration also hit a new low of 38%. This has been one of his worst polls for a while. But those are still remarkable numbers,” CNN reporter Aaron Blake wrote on X.
“And yet. . . Voters are FLEEING to Rs, who have net gained in. EVERY SINGLE STATE we can measure. Yeah, sounds unpopular to me,” historian and author Larry Schweikart wrote on X.
“I still can’t believe those members are that high. They should be way lower than that,” user Shauna Gisin wrote on X.
