Trump's Economy Approval Slumps to Lowest Level in Polls.
President Donald Trump's approval on the economy has reached an all-time low, according to a recent poll by AP-NORC. With only 31% of U.S. adults approving of his handling of economic issues, this marks the lowest level of economic approval he has registered since taking office. In March, 40% approved of Trump's performance on the economy.
Trump is facing significant challenges in recovering from public backlash on key issues such as his management of the federal government and immigration policies. The Republican president's ability to hold onto his party's support is also dwindling. The latest poll highlights a concerning trend: Trump has struggled to maintain approval ratings on issues that were once his strongholds.
On crime, for example, Trump's approval rating has dropped from 53% in March to 43%. Immigration approvals have declined even more sharply, falling from 49% last month to 38%. Even border security – an area where Trump tends to perform relatively well – has seen a slight decline in recent months.
The decline in economic approval is a cause for concern, especially among Republicans. According to the poll, only about 69% of Republicans now approve of how Trump handles the economy, down from 78% in March. This indicates that Trump's party may start to question his economic policies more seriously as the 2026 midterms approach.
Experts say that Trump's struggles with public opinion on key issues will likely have long-term implications for his re-election prospects and the future of his party.
