President Donald Trump’s job disapproval rating has climbed to its highest point since the beginning of his second term, according to a newly released Economist/YouGov poll conducted over the weekend.
The Numbers
The survey reveals that 55 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job, while only 41 percent approve. The poll shows a steady rise in disapproval over the past two weeks.

- Current poll (mid-July 2025): 55% disapprove, 41% approve
- Last week: 53% disapprove, 42% approve
- Two weeks ago: 53% disapprove, 42% approve
A Downward Trend
The two-point increase in disapproval comes amid growing political tensions and renewed criticism of the president’s handling of domestic and foreign policy. While approval has held relatively steady, the upward movement in negative sentiment suggests increased dissatisfaction among independents and moderates.
What It Means
Political analysts suggest the polling trend could become a vulnerability for Trump if it continues into the fall, especially with legislative battles and ongoing controversies surrounding immigration, tariffs, and the Epstein investigation dominating headlines.
Looking Ahead
As Trump eyes key swing state visits later this month, Republican strategists are watching closely to see whether his messaging can reverse the polling momentum. Democrats, meanwhile, have seized on the polling data as evidence of eroding support heading into the 2026 midterms.
