Trump Hits Second-Term Approval Lows Across Major Polls as Immigration Ratings Slide

Fresh polls point to erosion driven by backlash to aggressive immigration enforcement.

Overview

  • CNN’s Harry Enten reports four national trackers—AP‑NORC, NBC/SurveyMonkey, Yahoo/YouGov, and Quinnipiac—now place Trump 19 to 26 points underwater, marking second‑term lows.
  • AP‑NORC’s Feb. 5–8 survey finds 36% approval and 62% disapproval (net −26), tying that series’ low for the president.
  • Reuters/Ipsos shows just 38% approval of Trump’s immigration approach, while AP‑NORC finds majorities say deportation efforts and limits on legal immigration have gone too far and 60% view ICE unfavorably.
  • Weakness is sharpest in key blocs: Quinnipiac measures independents 27 points negative on net, and an Economist/YouGov poll records only 25% approval among voters aged 18–29.
  • A TIPP poll in Wisconsin shows 39% approve and 54% disapprove (net −15), intensifying midterm warnings even as the White House dismisses unfavorable surveys.
