WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has fallen

five percentage points to 36%, the lowest of his second term, while disapproval

has risen to 60%. The latest decline follows three months of stability, with 40%

to 41% of Americans expressing approval of his handling of the presidency. His

prior second-term low point in approval was a statistically similar 37% in July,

and his all-time low was 34% in 2021, at the end of his first term after the Jan. 6

attack on the Capitol.

Reduced majorities of Republicans approve of his overall job and his actions on

many of the issues, and independents offer increasingly negative assessments

of Trump. Coupled with the recent electoral losses for the Republican Party, this

could be a sign of trouble for Republicans in next year’s midterm elections,

when the GOP will try to maintain full control of the federal government.
