New Polls Show Trump Hitting Fresh Lows as Voters Favor Biden and Question ICE Crackdowns

Converging surveys point to intensifying disapproval that threatens Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

Overview

  • Silver Bulletin’s average places Trump at −13.7 net approval with a record share of strong disapprovers above 46%, reflecting a broad downturn echoed by CNN’s and Rasmussen’s trackers.
  • Three separate polls from The Economist/YouGov, Rasmussen, and Harvard CAPS/Harris find more voters now say Joe Biden performed better as president than Trump, with margins ranging from 6 to 11 points against Trump in the latest readings.
  • NBC News Decision Desk reports overall approval at 39%, low trust in ICE at 34%, and 65% saying the country is on the wrong track, with the field period capturing backlash following fatal ICE shootings in Minneapolis.
  • Economist/YouGov finds second‑term lows on key issues—net −23 on the economy and a record second‑term low of −13 on immigration—alongside sharp demographic erosion: Gen Z approval at 25% (67% disapprove), men at 42%, and a 23‑point slide among non‑college voters identified by CNN’s Harry Enten.
  • Gallup announced it will stop publishing presidential approval ratings, ending an 88‑year benchmark as other pollsters continue to chart Trump’s second‑term slump.
