Trump's polling is terrible and getting worse
His second term is already an unambiguous failure.
www.publicnotice.coHere’s the latest on Trump’s polling disapproval, based on recent coverage.
-
Recent polls show historically high disapproval for Donald Trump, with multiple outlets reporting disapproval levels in the high 50s to mid-60s range in early 2026. For example, one widely cited poll placed disapproval around 58%–60%, marking a new high for his term. These numbers come as headlines emphasize concerns about the economy, foreign policy volatility, and questions about leadership style.[7][8]
-
Several surveys in early 2026 also highlight the gap between disapproval and approval, with approval hovering in the 30s in some polls, and net approval margins reaching negative territory not seen since earlier in his presidency. Analysts often point to the convergence of persistent inflationary pressures and foreign policy frictions as drivers of the buoyed disapproval.[6][7]

The media landscape shows a range of interpretations: some outlets frame the highs in disapproval as a reflection of heightened scrutiny during midterm-era politics, while others emphasize continued base support for Trump despite broader dissatisfaction among independents and swing voters.[8][7]

It’s worth noting that polling numbers can vary by methodology, question wording, and sample composition. Different organizations may report slightly different disapproval levels or trend lines, but the overarching takeaway this period has been a strong, persistent disapproval among a substantial portion of the electorate.[5][8]
