Donald Trump’s Unwanted Approval Rating Lows So Far This Year
In 2026, former President Donald Trump has experienced historically low approval ratings according to multiple national polls, including surveys from YouGov, Pew Research Center, and others. These polls indicate that Trump's approval ratings have dropped significantly, with some showing record lows in net approval (approval minus disapproval). The decline spans various aspects of his leadership, including economic management, inflation, and handling of international conflicts like the Iran war. While Trump's current approval levels match those of President Joe Biden during a similar stage of his administration, they are accompanied by higher disapproval rates. Despite these figures, the White House has dismissed concerns about Trump's weakened standing, asserting that he has achieved significant accomplishments in creating jobs, reducing inflation, and improving housing affordability.

The rising costs have become a political issue, particularly affecting President Donald Trump's re-election prospects, as he previously pledged to lower gas prices significantly.
