President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 37%, according to a new Gallup poll, the lowest mark of his second term as independent voters have increasingly soured on his presidency.
The poll, taken July 7 through July 21, was conducted on the heels of Trump's July 4 signing of his "Big, Beautiful Bill" into law and as he's faced an intense backlash over his administration's refusal to release files in the government's case of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It marks a 10-point drop from the 47% approval rating Americans gave Trump's job performance at the beginning of his term in January. The poll, a phone survey of 1,002 Americans released July 24, has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
Only 29% of independent voters said they approved of Trump's job performance, a 17-point decline from the 46% the president enjoyed among independents at the start of his second term. The 29% approval rating among independent voters is the lowest Gallup has tracked with the group in either of his two terms.
Trump has maintained strong support from Republican voters ‒ dropping just one point from 90% in January to 89% ‒ while backing from Democratic voters has slid from 6% to 2%.
Real Clear Politics found Trump with a higher approval rating of 52%, compared to 46% of Americans who approve of his job performance.
Although Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" legislation marked a major legislative victory for the president, a CNN poll conducted by SSRS this month found 61% of Americans opposed the megabill, which includes cuts to Medicaid and food stamps and an extension of Trump's 2017 tax cuts estimated to add $3.3 trillion to the debt over 10 years.
Trump has also lost support on his handling of most issues. Only 37% of Americans approved of his handling of the economy in July, down from 42% in Gallup's February poll. Trump's favorability rating on immigration decreased from 46% to 38%, his handling of foreign trade from 42% to 36%, his handling of foreign affairs from 44% to 41%, and his handling of the Middle East from 40% to 36%.
Trump's lowest approval marks are for his handling of the war in Ukraine, 33%, and the federal budget, 29%.
Trump's average approval rating in Gallup polls between April 20 and July 19, was 40% ‒ significantly below the 59% average for all post-World War II presidents elected from 1952 to 2020 at the same point in their first terms. Yet it was a notch above the 39% first-term second-quarter average Trump had in 2017.
The latest Gallup poll is a potential warning sign for Trump and Republicans more than one year away from the 2026 midterms, when Democrats hope to win back control of the House of Representatives and Senate.
Yet Trump has proven in the past that he has the strength political to overcome poor polling. Trump's lowest approval rating, 34%, came at the end of his first term in January 2021 after he refused to concede the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
>>1422454 (OP)>>1422455>>1422483Who do you think you're fooling with this fake shit?
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” "look over there, Obama took a poo on the White House lawn"
>>1422498If you think the OP article is 'fake', then your opinions are fake. MAGAtards' brains are fake.
Which to accept as fact: a news article or a brainless NPC' Trumptard's wrong opinions. Gee, that one's a toughie.
>>1422454 (OP)>people are regretting voting for trumpat some point this kinda stops being news
>>1422520It only stops being news after his nonsense sinks the GOP in the midterms
Wait until his pedo video surfaces.
Who cares? The guy is on his second term. He can let it dip to zero and nothing will happen to him. This is just impotent seething.
>>1422498tariff's backlash hasn't even kicked in yet, plenty of businesses are burning money waiting and pleading for him to back off the tariffs but they'll be doomed soon.
I watch him sometimes but its funny how retarded influencers like asmon or penguinz are with economic shit where they take the we have so much money from tariffs omg at face value.
>>1422663There the exact opposite of their takes.
>>1422663>asmon or penguinzAsmon is retarded but all I've seen from penguinz at all about Trump is calling him out for being a geriatric pedophile with all the epstein stuff.
>>1422664you're retarded asmon was looking at videos of trump saying "they have so much money they don't know where its coming from oh its from tariffs"
>>1422665penguinz is a subhuman retard too who only says what he wants his audience to hear, During the russia war stuff he kept making vids about omg russia is getting fcked, meanwhile the ruble was spiking up relative to usd.
Good takes one to know one given he supports castrating kids
>>1422666>During the russia war stuff he kept making vids about omg russia is getting fcked, meanwhile the ruble was spiking up relative to usd.Russia is approaching year 4 of a "two week operation" and has lost so many men they're on the verge of a work population crisis.
>>1422667look at the usd to ruble chart it was at its 5 year high in 2022 when he was making propaganda videos cause he wanted to get clicks from the whole muh russia is falling doomed
3 years later nothing's really finished, guy's a retarded scumbag and his audience have as many braincells as a dustbunny
>>1422674>"Guys the russian economy is doing great!">Literal only civilian sector industry that showed growth is funeral servicesYou can't make this shit up
>>1422659>He can let it dip to zero and nothing will happen to him.Imagine actually believing this.
>>1422676right... funeral services caused the ruble to skyrocket...
ok retard no wonder penguinz has such a large audience its filled with uneducated subhumans like you.
>>1422678what's it like being a literal russia shill. do they really rape you
>>1422677It's true. What are we gonna do?
Midterms? Rigged. They've already started doing this.
Protests? Useless. They don't care.
Rioting? He'll just shut it down with the military.
An actual revolution? Yeah fucking right, and see previous.
>>1422679you're literally proving to the world that you're an uneducated retard that would believe any and all propaganda as long as you like it.
how does it feel to know the world revolves around you, must be nice being such a delusional loser you'd be happy to be told lies
>>1422679>why don't you enjoy being lied to your face,>reeeeee russia shill you're a russia shill for wanting real facts.Kys penguinz's fanbase are literal subhuman child mutilators
>>1422677Everybody officially now knows he is a pedophile and it doesn't fucking matter.
I just wanted deportations, halting H1Bs, and maybe some stopping Big Tech and banks from censoring people if we have time for it, as a treat. We're getting a few deportations and quite the opposite for the rest, plus nuking the economy with directionless retard tariff policy on the side. I know I'm not alone in being upset about this. The more recent Epstein shit I care very little about, but backlash for it is what he deserves for fumbling everything else.
>>1422699>Rioting? He'll just shut it down with the military.Protest and civil disobedience until he overreaches and starts a massacre which splits the armed forces. I want him to shut it down, I'd love for him to go full force on the LA "rioters".
I just don't understand why you would support such an erratic literal retard. Maybe just to see funny things happen? Americans are going to get gaped, shaped and raped by tariffs.
>>1422531>after his nonsense sinks the GOP in the midtermsThe DMC is still behind the GOP in polls. It actually has a lower approval rating vs the GOP than Trump has in general popularity.
>>1422930>I just don't understand why you would support such an erratic literal retard.Because the dems just suck that much.
