Overview
- Multiple national surveys in April report new or matching second‑term lows for President Trump’s job rating, with AP‑NORC at 33% approval, Reuters/Ipsos at 36%, Strength In Numbers/Verasight at 35%, and ARG near 32%.
- AP‑NORC finds only 30% approve of Trump’s handling of the economy and just 23% approve of his response to the cost of living, underscoring broad frustration with prices.
- An NBC Decision Desk poll shows the share of Republicans who strongly approve has slipped to 52%, and Marquette reports overall GOP approval at 78%, pointing to weaker intensity inside Trump’s base.
- A new CNBC economic survey records the lowest net marks of Trump’s two terms on both overall job performance and the economy, with respondents tying discontent to the Iran conflict and higher gasoline costs.
- Fox News polling, echoed by Times Now and Raw Story coverage, shows voters give Trump negative ratings on most major issues and raise doubts about competence and mental fitness, while the White House cites the 2024 win as its mandate and analysts flag added midterm risk for Republicans.
