Trump Approval Falls to Second-Term Low as Polls Show Deep Economic Discontent

Voters point to rising costs as the driver of the slide.

Overview

  • CNN’s Harry Enten says his polling aggregate now puts President Trump at net −20 approval, with every poll since March 29, 2025 showing him underwater for a 413‑day streak.
  • A CNN/SSRS survey reports 77% say Trump’s policies raised their cost of living, and 79% disapprove of his handling of gas prices.
  • The same poll finds the Iran war’s effect on personal finances 67 points underwater, with only 8% calling it positive and 75% calling it negative.
  • A CBS News/YouGov poll taken May 13–15 shows Trump’s overall approval at a second‑term low, with two‑thirds saying his policies make the economy worse.
  • CNN’s data show sharp demographic erosion, including a 51‑point swing against Trump among Latino men, a shift that threatens Republicans in key midterm contests.
