Trump Sets Record for Lowest Approval Ratings Two Months Into a Term—Twice

President Donald Trump remains historically unpopular, with economic concerns driving disapproval and polarized support shaping his second-term ratings.

President Trump is the only U.S. leader to have a negative net approval rating two months into a term, a distinction he now holds twice, with disapproval rates ranging from 49% to 58%.
Economic dissatisfaction, especially regarding inflation and tariffs, is a key factor in his declining approval, with 56% to 58% disapproving of his handling of the economy in recent polls.
While his overall ratings are underwater, Trump receives higher approval on specific issues like immigration (55%) and national security (52%).
His approval ratings are slightly better than at the same point in his first term but remain historically low compared to other presidents.
Upcoming events, including economic developments and foreign policy negotiations, are expected to influence his ratings further.
