Trump’s Approval Rating Dips Below 50% as Economic Concerns Grow

Public dissatisfaction with President Trump’s handling of the economy and inflation is contributing to a decline in his overall approval rating during his second term.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 47%, with disapproval rising to 49%, marking the first time his net approval has turned negative in his second term, according to Newsweek's poll tracker.
Economic concerns, particularly inflation and rising prices, are key drivers of Trump’s declining popularity, with multiple polls showing disapproval of his economic management surpassing approval.
Recent polling indicates that 70% of Americans believe Trump’s tariff policies could increase costs for everyday goods, while a majority feel he is not prioritizing inflation adequately.
Independent voters, a critical bloc, show particularly low approval of Trump’s economic performance, with fewer than one-third expressing support in recent surveys.
The economic downturn and dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of inflation could impact Republican prospects in upcoming midterm elections and beyond.
