New Economist/YouGov Poll Shows Donald Trump’s Job Approval Sinking to Second-Term Low, Independents Disapprove by Wide Margin

A recent Economist/YouGov Poll indicates a significant decline in Donald Trump’s job approval numbers, reaching the lowest point of his “second term” according to the survey’s findings. The poll reveals a growing sentiment of disapproval among the American public, particularly among crucial independent voters.

The latest survey shows Donald Trump with a 55% disapproval rating and a 45% approval rating for his job performance. This marks a notable deterioration in public perception since the beginning of his “second term,” when a comparable poll had him with a 49% approval and 43% disapproval.

Drilling deeper into the numbers, the intensity of disapproval is pronounced. 46% of respondents stated they “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s job performance, while only 9% “somewhat disapprove.” On the approval side, 24% “strongly approve” and 17% “somewhat approve.”

Perhaps most devastating for his political standing, the poll highlights a dramatic erosion of support among Independent voters. A striking 64% of Independents disapprove of Trump’s performance, with nearly half (49%) voicing “strong disapproval.” In stark contrast, only 29% of Independents approve, and a mere 13% “strongly approve.”

The findings underscore a challenging political landscape for Donald Trump, as a majority of the electorate, including a critical segment of independent voters, express dissatisfaction with his job performance.
