When it comes to disapproval ratings, President Donald Trump is WINNING.
A survey conducted over the weekend by Economist/YouGov reports that it asked 1,680 U.S. adults how they felt about the way Trump is handling the presidency, and his disapproval rating hit a record high in his second term, reaching a big, beautiful 55%. This is compared to 41% who approve of Trump.
It’s a spike from the prior week’s numbers, in which 53% of respondents disapproved while 42% approved.
Trump started his second term with 43% disapproval and 49% approval.
It appears that the decline in Trump’s favorability since he took office in January is largely due to Democrats and independents. According to Economist/YouGov’s polls, the approval rating among Democrats was at 12% when Trump 2.0 began earlier this year. Today, only 3% approve of him.
As for independents, 41% approved of him in January, while 29% approve now.

Considering last week’s kerfuffle surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case being closed — which has some of Trump’s base turning against him — the most recent survey also asked respondents whether or not they felt the government is covering up evidence it has about Epstein. In response, 59% of people who said they voted for Trump in the 2024 election responded with “yes.”
