Trump's Approval Plummets to Record Low in 19th Quarter
President Trump's approval ratings have plummeted, with multiple polls indicating a net disapproval of around -14 to -15 points. This marks a significant decline from the start of his term.
G. Elliott Morris' average put Trump's net approval at roughly negative-14 points, down about a net 26 points from the beginning of the term. CNN's Poll of Polls average had Trump's net approval at negative-15 points (41% approval, 56% disapproval) as of Wednesday. Similarly, a New York Times average showed a net disapproval of -11 points (43% approval, 54% disapproval) on Tuesday. Trump's current low standing, with a negative net approval and approval in the low-40s, does not approach the approval peaks of recent predecessors. Even among Republicans, Trump's extremely high approval, often around 90%, cannot offset his overall low rating. Gallup's quarter-by-quarter assessment found that, other than Nixon, Trump had a lower average approval in his 19th quarter as president than any other president elected to two terms since Eisenhower. In comparison, every other president elected after World War II had better poll numbers than Trump at the same point in their first terms.
Trump's approval rating has seen a significant decline since the beginning of his second term, with multiple polling averages showing a net drop of 14 to 26 points. Despite his high approval among Republicans, his overall approval rating remains low. President Trump has acknowledged that the Constitution prohibits him from running for a third term in the White House.
