Overview
- A recent American Research Group survey conducted June 16–20 found 30% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance and 26% approve of his handling of the economy.
- Longer-running trackers put the president well underwater with The New York Times polling average showing about 38% approval and 58% disapproval.
- Issue-by-issue polling shows sharper damage with a Fox News economy poll at roughly 31% approval, CNN analysis noting about 80% disapproval on gas prices, and The Economist finding Trump below water across multiple categories.
- Trump rejected unfavorable numbers on Truth Social by claiming higher "real" poll ratings and the White House spokesman Davis Ingle pointed to the November 5, 2024 election as validation.
- Media and public reactions vary from compiled Reddit responses to analytical coverage, and the trend could force changes in White House messaging and political strategy in coming weeks.
