Trump’s disapproval rating hits record for second term
Share this @internewscast.com

(The Hill) — According to the latest Economist/YouGov poll, President Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached its highest point since the beginning of his second term.

The survey, conducted over the weekend, shows 55 percent disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job, compared to 41 percent who approve.

This recent poll indicates a slight change compared to the previous week, where 53 percent disapproved and 42 percent approved of his performance as president. The results were the same the week before as well.

Trump started his second term with 49 percent approval and 43 percent disapproval.

In mid-June, Trump experienced lower approval with 40 percent supporting his presidency. However, at that time, 54 percent disapproved, which was just under the record 55 percent disapproval seen in the most recent poll.

The overall dip in approval since Trump took office has been driven largely by falling support among Democrats and independents.

In the poll conducted in late January, Trump’s approval rating among Democrats was at 12 percent. Today, only 3 percent approve of the president.

A similar shift exists among independents, 41 percent of whom approved of the president right after he took office in January, compared to just 29 percent today.

Republicans, meanwhile, see virtually no change in their level of support for the president. When Trump took office, 94 percent approved of his handling of the job, similar to the 92 percent who approve today.

The Economist/YouGov survey separates the self-identified MAGA Republicans from those Republicans who say they don’t identify with the MAGA movement, with each group representing half of all Republicans surveyed.

Among self-identified MAGA Republicans, Trump’s approval rating has consistently hovered at around 98 percent.

Republicans who don’t identify with the MAGA movement, however, began Trump’s term approving of the president at a rate of 90 percent. By mid-April, that dropped to 70 percent, and, by the latest poll, that share is back up to 85 percent.

The latest Economist/YouGov poll includes 1,680 U.S. adults and was conducted July 11-14. The margin of error is 3.4 percentage points.
