Trump's Approval Rating Drops Significantly Amid Economic Concerns

Recent polls indicate that President Donald Trump's approval rating is declining, with most surveys showing a net negative rating and rising disapproval among Americans regarding his performance on key issues such as immigration and the economy. According to AtlasIntel, Trump's overall approval rating dropped by nearly six points over two months, with 52 percent of respondents disapproving of his presidency. While an April Echelon Insights survey still found a majority approving of Trump's immigration policies, his net rating on the issue fell eight points in a single month, reflecting growing public concern. The Economist and YouGov/The Economist polling also report a net negative rating for Trump on economic management, with pessimism even among Republican voters. Despite winning the popular vote in November 2024 by a narrow margin, Trump’s support remains fragile, particularly in key swing states. Analysts suggest that if Trump fails to deliver economic improvements, the diverse coalition that contributed to his recent electoral victory may quickly turn against him.
