Summary
Trump’s approval rating has turned negative in a new YouGov/Economist poll, with 50% disapproving versus 45% approving of his job performance.
This marks the first underwater rating in a month, following similar trends in other polls. Political experts attribute the decline to backlash against tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and DOGE’s federal worker firings.
While Trump maintains stronger approval on national security (51%) and immigration (50%), he scores lowest on inflation (42%).
The poll shows a particularly sharp drop among independents, shifting from -5 to -17 approval margin.
This is nothing. Approval ratings below 40% are extremely common in modern presidencies. Trump himself left office the first time with an approval rating of 34% and an average of 41%.
If Macron got 40% approval rating there would be a river of champagne flowing down the Champs Elysées.
Seriously, 40 seems like a TERRIBLE approval rating. Then again, US politics really is something else
he doesn’t care about court orders, why doesn’t anyone think he cares about someone’s approval
National security remained Trump’s strongest issue, with 51 percent of respondents saying they approve of his handling of the matter.
wtf. the dude is a russian asset . the only reason he ever says the words national security is to remove rights from u.s. citizens.
gross
Propaganda is OP, really can’t nerfed hard enough to change the meta
The sad thing is the main factor in a successful propaganda campaign seems to be volume. So those that have an ability to broadcast a message to the highest number of people with the most consistency usually get their way.
It’s almost like billionaires buy media outlets for a reason
Polls don’t matter to a party of fucking fascists.
We’re about to get an Executive Order deleting all polling organizations except the ones that align with President Trump’s Executive Orders, aren’t we?
Lol 45% approval, he really is the king of usa.
My FIL and MIL love him! And I do mean they worship him. They’re extremely satisfied with recent events because he’s hurting Americans which includes the other Americans they don’t like.
How did pretty much an entire generation that had it easier than us get so fucking hateful!? They sit in their owned houses pissed off that brown and gay people exist and are just trying to survive like all of us…
In Tropico, this normally ends badly for El Presidente.
I just don’t hold elections. Never been an issue for me
Penultimo on the other hand
Yeah I’m not convinced any politician cares about approval ratings anymore because they might be going this route
Wake me up when it’s at 20% or so, 45 is waaaaaay too much for the shit show he’s delivering.
I learned 51% on respondents to that poll don’t know shit about national security, so I’d say that marks all the other numbers outside of approval rating (b/c that just measures vibes) as suspect.
