Trump's approval rating ticks lower, economic concerns weigh, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
- President Donald Trump's approval rating shows conflicting trends in May 2025, with some polls indicating a rise while others report a slip to historic lows during his second term.
- This divergence stems from varying survey methodologies and differing public responses following Trump's recent Middle East trip and tariff policy adjustments.
- Polls such as Insider Advantage/Trafalgar find Trump at 55% approval after Middle East engagements, while Reuters/Ipsos and others show ratings near 42%, highlighting mixed voter sentiment and economic concern.
- Political analyst Craig Agranoff noted the 42% rating signals a troubling trend tied to public unease over economic policies and governance amid rising disapproval near 51%, especially among independents and moderates.
- These polls suggest that without significant policy wins or shifts in public perception, Trump may face eroding political capital and weaker legislative leverage in his second term.
