Donald Trump’s approval rating is negative across the board, except for this one key issue
Donald Trump’s approval rating has taken a precipitous fall since the president began his first term.
As of Tuesday, Trump is underwater on almost every key issue except one, according to the latest Economist/YouGov survey.
The president began his second term with a +12 net approval rating on jobs and the economy.
Now, Trump’s approval stands at -9 points — a 21-point swing.
On inflation and prices, Trump had a +6 net approval rating in January.
Amid the president’s tariff and other economic policies, Trump has since slid into deeply negative territory at -18 points — a massive 24-point drop.
On immigration, Trump began his term with a +11 net approval rating.
That has since fallen to 0.
Crime remains the only key issue where Trump has stayed in positive territory.
Trump’s approval rating on crime dropped six percentage points since the beginning of his second term, from +12 in January to +6 in the latest Economist/YouGov poll.
The president’s approval rating overall has also dropped across the political spectrum, with a sharp decline among independents.
Among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, Trump’s approval slipped from -71 to -88.
Independents had a -3 approval of the president at the start of his term. That figure has dropped sharply to -33.
While Trump continued to rate highly among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, the president’s numbers have declined.
At the start of his second term, Trump enjoyed a +87 net approval rating among that group.
It now stands at +78.
