Polls: Majority Disapprove Trump on Epstein Files

Recent polls from sources such as The Hill, Newsweek, and KHON2 show that 51% to 56% of Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, with approval ratings as low as 16-22%. Trump's overall approval rating has dropped to 37% in a Gallup survey, with support among independents at 29% and Democrats at 2%. The controversy is fueled by the Justice Department’s refusal to release more Epstein-related documents, despite Trump’s prior campaign promises and executive orders advocating for full disclosure. A significant majority of Americans, 67-69%, suspect a government cover-up. While GOP voters are divided, especially among younger and non-MAGA Republicans, there is broad bipartisan support for releasing all Epstein files. The issue has become a prominent topic ahead of the 2028 presidential election, intensifying pressure on Trump's administration and heightening concerns about government transparency.
