Trump’s net approval rating on economy and overall falls to lowest of his two terms, CNBC survey shows

The survey of 1,000 Americans found his net approval at -18, while economic approval fell to -21, the lowest CNBC has measured.

  • A CNBC survey of 1,000 respondents released in late April found President Donald Trump's overall job approval fell to 40%, with 58% disapproving, producing a net-18—the lowest rating of his two terms.
  • Economic anxiety from higher gas prices and inflation drove the decline, causing Trump's approval on the economy to slip to 39% and eroding support particularly among non-MAGA Republicans.
  • While self-identified MAGA Republicans remain overwhelmingly loyal with 96% approval, the survey revealed widespread disapproval of Trump's handling of the Iran war, with 48% of Americans feeling "less safe."
  • Despite Trump's slide, Democrats are not automatically benefiting; Americans prefer Democratic control of Congress by a 4-point margin, unchanged from the previous survey.
  • Micah Roberts, a partner at Public Opinion Strategies, noted Trump keeps 60% of the Republican Party "very, very fired up," but cautioned that recovery before the midterms remains unlikely.
