Only one-third of Americans approve of how Donald Trump is handling his job as president, lower than Trump's approval in any weekly Economist / YouGov Poll over his two terms as president, and lower than Joe Biden ever received during his term. 34% of Americans strongly or somewhat approve of Trump's job handling, and 59% disapprove, for a net job approval of -26.
Trump's net approval of -26 is also a record low for either of his terms or Biden's term.
Trump hit record-low net approval for either of his terms among Democrats (-96) and Independents (-44), and a new low for his second term among Republicans (+61).
Other record-low net job approval numbers for Trump's second term this week include those among men (-19) and white Americans (-13, tied with one month ago).
Trump's record-low approval comes as concerns about the economy are as high as they've been in years. For the second week in a row, 63% of Americans say the economy is getting worse, while only 13% say it's getting better. The only time since 2017 that more Americans said the economy was getting worse was in the summer of 2022, during a surge in inflation.
43% of Americans say they and their family are worse off financially than they were a year ago, the highest since 2024. It's the first time since 2024 that the share of Americans saying they are about the same financially as they were a year ago (42%) hasn't been higher than the share saying they're worse off. Only 10% say they're better off than a year ago.
Only 24% of Americans support Trump's project to tear down the East Wing of the White House and build a new ballroom. 58% of Americans — including 91% of Democrats, 63% of Independents, and 23% of Republicans — oppose that project. Republicans who are MAGA supporters back the ballroom by 77% to 11%, but Republicans who say they're not MAGA supporters are more likely to oppose it (33% support and 48% oppose).
