The shift in approval happened faster for Trump than it did for his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

Summary

Trump’s approval rating has turned negative for the first time in his second term, with FiveThirtyEight showing 47.6% approval and 47.9% disapproval (-0.3% net).

This shift happened faster than in his first term. The drop coincides with new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, fueling economic concerns.

Despite a well-received congressional address (69% CNN approval, 76% CBS/YouGov), his ratings continue to decline.

    Yeah, you gotta have some more “I voted for Trump, but this isn’t what I wanted” by now. I know most of the Republicans are cultists, but that number usually hovers around 40%.

      Those leapords haven’t really begun eating everyday american faces yet (for those that don’t follow the news). The conditions for the feast are being set up beautifully though.

        Yeah these numbers are going to nose dive real quick once the negative consequences start happening and some of those are just days away.
