Trump’s approval rating hits record low of second term: Poll

Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 37% with 55% disapproval in August polls, showing declining support among independents and widespread opposition to federal police takeovers.

  • On Aug. 27, aggregated polls show President Donald Trump's approval at 43% and 45.3%, with disapproval at 53% and 51.5%, reflecting recent term lows.
  • Earlier this month, pollsters link Trump's approval slide to his Washington, D.C. takeover and National Guard deployments, alongside economic pressures from high grocery prices and persistent inflation.
  • Partisan splits remain pronounced as Quinnipiac University reports 37% approve and 55% disapprove, while Gallup and Reuters/Ipsos show about 40% approval; 93% of Republican voters approve versus 97% of Democratic voters disapprove.
  • Polls indicate voters disapprove 67 of Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, 73 blame the Justice Department, and two-thirds see crime as a major problem affecting midterm elections.
  • Despite deep partisan splits, since January positive opinions fell nine points while disapproval rose 12 points this year, with Republicans' support remaining durable and Democrats and many Independents largely disapproving.
