Media Miss by the right: Public approval of Trump drops to lowest of his second term

Trump’s approval rating is currently the lowest it’s been since his second term began in January, according to a new joint survey from YouGov and The Economist.

The survey found 57% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the presidency, while only 39% of those surveyed said they think he’s doing a good job right now.

Trump’s overall net approval of -18 is his lowest since November 2017, less than a year into his first term.

However, those who voted for Trump in 2024 said he’s doing a great job, giving him an approval rating of 86%. Only 16% of Trump’s 2024 voters say they disapprove of his behavior as president.
