A new low: Trump’s approval now negative in every major poll
President Donald Trump's approval ratings have plunged to a new low as he heads into the final weeks of 2025, as the Republican president posted negative ratings among every major pollster.
Trump's average disapproval rating stood at 56% on Saturday, according to The New York Times poll aggregator , with just 41% approving of the second-term president.
After an initial burst of popularity with his inauguration in January, Trump's popularity started to slip in March as his administration began making widespread cuts across the federal government.
An average of 49% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump at that point, compared to 47% who approved. Given the margins of error in most polls, that's a statistical dead heat.
Trump's disapproval rating ticked past 50% in April when the White House announced a tariff regime that alienated allies abroad and caused prices to rise at home , according to the Times tracker.
Trump's ratings held steady through the summer months, with an average of 52% to 53% of all Americans disapproving of his job performance, compared to an average of 44% to 45% saying they approved, the tracker showed.
The second-term Republican's disapproval rating climbed to 55% in November as the GOP took losses in key gubernatorial races across the country, and as affordability concerns topped the list of voters' concerns.
A Nov. 19 Fox News poll found that Americans thought the White House was doing more harm than good to the economy , with 76% saying they viewed it negatively.
That's worse than the 67% who said the same thing in July and higher than the 70% who felt that way at the end of President Joe Biden's term, the poll found.
If there's consolation for Trump, it's that voters think that Republicans are stronger on border security, immigration and crime. Democrats posted higher numbers on affordability, wages, health care and climate concerns, the poll found.
