Polls show Trump’s approval ratings drop to new lows

Major surveys conducted in the United States have shown that President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have hit new lows.

National polls released in mid-to-late May revealed Trump’s lowest approval numbers in days of each other.

Separate surveys by Economist/YouGov, American Research Group, Quinnipiac, Emerson College, and The New York Times/Siena College all found that roughly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the president’s performance.

His approval ratings clustered in the mid-to-high 30s across most polls, with the American Research Group survey dipping as low as 31 percent, the lowest figure recorded in either of Trump’s terms.

The Economist/YouGov poll put Trump’s approval at 34 percent, the lowest level the firm has ever recorded across both of his presidential terms.

It produced a net approval rating (approve minus disapprove) of –25, the weakest reading in its dataset.

The poll was conducted May 22–26 among 1,520 US adults and had a margin of error of ±3.6 percentage points.

Poll: Two thirds of Americans say Trump had no clear case for war against Iran

Two-thirds of Americans believe that Trump had no clear case for the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.

Respondents were drawn from YouGov’s opt-in panel and weighted to match the national adult population on key demographic and political benchmarks.

Emerson College’s latest poll showed Trump’s approval at 39 percent, with 55 percent disapproving; his lowest rating in the firm’s monthly tracking.

The survey was conducted May 24–25 among 1,000 likely voters, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.

Emerson typically uses a mix of online and automated telephone sampling.

The American Research Group poll found Trump’s approval at just 31 percent, with 64 percent disapproving, his lowest mark in either term.

The poll was based on 1,100 interviews with adults conducted May 16–20 using a random sample design, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.

Quinnipiac University’s national poll recorded Trump’s approval at 34 percent, the lowest in the pollster’s tracking of his presidency.

The survey was conducted May 14–18 among 1,106 registered voters and had a margin of error of ±3.7 percentage points.

Finally, the New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump’s approval falling to 37 percent, which the pollsters described as a new low in his current term.

More than 1,500 registered voters participated in live telephone interviews conducted May 11–15, with a margin of error of ±2.8 percentage points.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle dismissed the low approval ratings as temporary, insisting that the Trump administration remains focused on its policy agenda, especially economic issues.

Ingle said the president is “working tirelessly” on economic priorities and suggested that the positive effects of his policies will become evident over time.

The survey, released on May 17, reveals deep pessimism across party lines.

Historically, presidential approval ratings have served as a strong leading indicator for midterm election outcomes.

Trump’s weak numbers have created a more difficult national environment for Republican candidates and strategists.

While some voters who disapprove of Trump still support Republican positions on issues such as immigration, taxes, crime, and the economy, analysts warn that his plunging approval could sour broader attitudes toward the Republican Party and conservative priorities.

This shift risks causing vote losses even among Republican-leaning voters, delivering a significant blow to the GOP.
