(The Hill) — A recent survey indicates that President Trump’s disapproval rating is growing among Americans seven months into his second term, as reported on Friday.

The Economist/YouGov poll reveals that 40% of Americans either “strongly or somewhat” approve of Trump’s performance in office. On the flip side, 56% of U.S. adults express “strongly or somewhat” disapproval of his presidential duties, while 4% remain undecided.

Most Democratic voters disapprove of Trump, while most Republicans approve of his handling of the presidency. 

Older Americans, aged 65 and up, show the highest approval, with 48% “strongly or somewhat” supporting Trump’s presidency. Meanwhile, approval is lowest among the 18 to 29 age group, with only 29% “strongly or somewhat” endorsing his time in the White House.

According to the poll, just 23% of Americans “strongly approve” of Trump’s performance as president, but 47% “strongly disapprove.” Previously, during former President Biden’s time in office, the Economist/YouGov survey found that 56% of adults either strongly approved or disapproved, and 39% had a moderate opinion.

Among those with political leanings, 95% of individuals identifying as “very liberal” are in strong disapproval of Trump, compared to 72% of those who describe themselves as “very conservative” and are in strong support of him as president.

Additionally, a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month showed that Trump’s approval rating had declined to 40%, marking a 7-point drop since the beginning of his second term.

In the average of surveys from Decision Desk HQ, the president currently has a 45.6 % approval rating and a 51.1% disapproval rating. 

A Pew Research Center poll, released in mid-August, found that Trump’s current job approval rating is at 38%. 

The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted from August 15-18 among 1,568 U.S. adults. The margin of error was around 3.5 percentage points.
