Trump’s Approval Ratings Show Consistent Decline Across Multiple Polls
Recent polling data indicates a downward trend in former President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, reflecting varying degrees of public disapproval over the past several months.
In Morning Consult’s weekly survey conducted November 7-9 among 2,201 registered U.S. voters (±2% margin of error), Trump’s approval rating hit a low point of 44%, with 54% disapproving of his job performance, resulting in a net approval rating of -10.
Similarly, the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll taken November 4-6 with 2,000 registered voters also showed Trump’s approval rating at 44%, marking a second-term low with a net approval of -7. This poll reflected comparable dissatisfaction toward the Democratic Party as well.
The Economist/YouGov poll conducted October 24-27 among 1,623 U.S. adults revealed a further dip, reporting a 39% approval rating for Trump and a 58% disapproval, culminating in a net approval rating of -19. Earlier Economist/YouGov data from September 12-15 (1,567 U.S. adults, ±3.6% margin of error) showed Trump’s favorability rating falling three points to 39%, while unfavorable views increased two points to 57%. This represented an 11-point decline from his 50% favorability at the start of his term.
A Morning Consult survey from September 12-14 (2,204 registered voters, ±2% margin of error) noted a slight improvement in Trump’s job performance rating, with approval ticking up one point to 46%, while disapproval remained steady at 52%. Notably, this poll highlighted the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk as the top news story of 2025, with 67% of voters highly aware of the event.
The Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted September 5-9 (1,084 U.S. adults, ±3% margin of error) aligned with other recent polls, showing a 42% approval rating and 56% disapproval for Trump. The poll also examined public opinion regarding the potential deployment of the National Guard to cities outside Washington, D.C., a proposal supported by 85% of Republicans but opposed by 93% of Democrats.
Data from The Economist/YouGov’s August 29-September 2 survey (1,691 U.S. adults, ±3.4% margin of error) recorded a 41% approval and 55% disapproval rating for Trump, marking a slight one-point decrease in disapproval but an unchanged approval rating.
Finally, Morning Consult’s August 29-31 poll (2,202 registered voters, ±2% margin of error) noted a minor decline in Trump’s approval to 46%, while the 51% disapproval rating remained stable. This reflects a continuation of lower public support following a post-“Liberation Day” dip compared to his 52% approval rating at the inauguration of his second term—a figure consistent with his peak approval in March of his first term.
Overall, Trump’s average approval rating during his second term hovers around 42%, which is consistent with that of current President Joe Biden but remains below the approval levels of recent presidents dating back to Harry Truman, according to Gallup data.
