Trump’s Approval Falls to New Low in Conservative Poll
A recent survey by Rasmussen Reports found President Trump's approval rating at 41%, marking the lowest level seen during his second term. The tracker recorded 57% of respondents disapproving, a figure that could influence the political climate as the country heads toward the 2026 midterm elections.
Poll Details
- Surveyed: 1,500 likely voters
- Margin of Error: 3%
- Approval: 41% (down from 43% the day before)
- Disapproval: 57%
The poll places Trump below the comfort zone many conservative analysts expect for a sitting president.
Other National Polls Echo Downward Trend
- Quinnipiac University:
- Approval: 37%
- Disapproval: 56%
Support on Key Issues
- Economy: 39% approval
- Immigration: 38% approval
The immigration score is particularly troubling, given recent controversies, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis last month. These events have intensified scrutiny of the administration’s border policies and may be contributing to voters’ negative perceptions.
Trump's Response
Trump has labeled polls as "fake and fraudulent", accusing media outlets of manipulating public opinion. He argues that even reputable sources have misrepresented his support and calls for reforms to address what he sees as a "polling scam." His comments reflect broader tensions over how public opinion is measured and reported in an era of deep political polarization.
