Trump Approval Falls to Second-Term Lows as Non‑College Support Erodes

Fresh polling puts Trump in the negative teens on approval, with many voters now rating Biden's tenure more favorably.

Overview

  • An NBC News Decision Desk survey taken January 27–30 shows 39% approval and 61% disapproval, with broad dissatisfaction tied to immigration enforcement and only 34% saying they trust ICE.
  • The February 6–9 Economist/YouGov poll records 37% approval and 56% disapproval, with Trump’s economy rating at a net −23 (tying his low) and immigration at a net −13, a second‑term low on that issue.
  • Silver Bulletin’s aggregator pegs net approval at −13.7 as of February 9, and the share who strongly disapprove has climbed above 46% for the first time in that tracker.
  • CNN’s Harry Enten reports a 23‑point swing among non‑college voters since 2024, from Trump +14 then to about −9 net approval now, while the GOP’s congressional edge with that group has narrowed to roughly +4.
  • Three recent national polls from Rasmussen, Economist/YouGov, and Harvard CAPS/Harris find more respondents saying Joe Biden performed better as president, reinforcing a cross‑pollster trend unfavorable to the White House.
