AP-NORC Survey Shows GOP Disappointment With Trump’s Economic Record Nearly One Year Into Second Term

Nearly 8 in 10 Republicans support Trump's immigration policies despite economic dissatisfaction and rising costs, according to an AP-NORC poll conducted in early January 2026.

  • On Jan. 8, an AP-NORC poll of 1,203 adults found nearly a year into his second term President Donald Trump's work on the economy hasn't met expectations of many in his party.
  • Rising prices and the Jan. 1 subsidy lapse prompted higher costs as inflation cooled but prices remain above last January, and federal health care subsidies for more than 20 million Americans expired.
  • AP-NORC's breakdown finds only 16% of Republicans say Trump helped 'a lot' on cost of living, 26% on job creation, and about one-third on health care costs at least a little.
  • The Republican base remains largely supportive, with about 8 in 10 Republicans approving Trump's job performance and two-thirds saying the country is better off but only half saying the same about their families.
  • On immigration, about 8 in 10 Republicans say Trump has helped at least a little, though GOP approval slipped from 53% in March to 49%, and 38% of U.S. adults support his immigration leadership.
