Trump Approval Ratings Drop to New Lows Amid Political Controversies
President Donald Trump's approval ratings have reached new lows during his second term, with recent polls showing his favorability hovering around 39-42%, significantly below his initial approval levels at the start of his second term. Multiple surveys, including Economist/YouGov, Morning Consult, Reuters/Ipsos, Gallup, and Quinnipiac, indicate a declining trend, with approval ratings fluctuating between 37% and 45%, and disapproval ratings often exceeding 50%. Key issues impacting his approval include his handling of crime in Washington, D.C., deployment of federal troops, foreign policy decisions such as meetings with Vladimir Putin, and controversies surrounding the Justice Department's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Despite some polls showing slight improvements, overall public sentiment remains negative, with many Americans expressing opposition to his policies on crime, immigration, and federal intervention in local police matters. Trump's approval rating currently averages around 40-43%, comparable to Biden's at this point in his presidency but well below historic averages for presidents in their second terms. Major political and legal controversies continue to influence his standing, including debates over military actions, investigations, and his approach to foreign relations.
