US EditionTwo-thirds of Americans say country is headed in the wrong direction: ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll
The surveys show weaker confidence in Trump’s leadership and issue handling, with approval at 34% in Pew’s national poll.
- President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to the lowest level of his second term across three national polls conducted between April 17 and April 28, 2026. Leger, Pew, and Big Data Poll reported synchronized declines in approval and rising disapproval.
- This downturn follows a steady deterioration over the past year, as Trump's net rating worsened from-10 in April 2025 to-17 in April 2026. Leger data shows approval largely held in the high 30s through 2025 while disapproval gradually increased.
- Pew Research Center found confidence in the President's handling of immigration fell from 46 percent in August 2025 to 41 percent. Perceptions of Trump keeping his promises dropped to 38 percent, down sharply from shortly after his 2024 reelection.
- White House spokesman Davis Ingle dismissed the polls on Friday, citing nearly 80 million Americans who elected Trump in November 2024. Big Data Poll director Rich Baris countered that voters have "clearly run out of patience" with the administration.
- Convergence across these polling series suggests opinion is settling into a less forgiving equilibrium rather than reacting to short-term events. The synchronized decline positions approval erosion as durable, likely prompting campaign strategy shifts ahead of the midterms.
