Summary

Donald Trump’s approval rating has slipped into negative territory for the first time in his second term, with 47% approval and 49% disapproval according to Newsweek’s polling average.

Economic concerns appear to be driving the decline, with 57% of Americans viewing his economic moves as “too erratic” and 61% disapproving of his tariff policies.

Trump’s current approval rating is lower than both Joe Biden’s at the same point in his presidency (53%) and Trump’s own numbers from his first term (50%).

Polling shows particular dissatisfaction with his handling of inflation and government spending.
