Donald Trump's approval rating plummets on all personality traits

"I have some of the best poll numbers I've ever had," the president insisted this week, despite the figures.

President Donald Trump’s job approval has fallen to its lowest point of his second term as voters report declining confidence in his personal traits and governing judgment, according to a new Pew Research Center survey released this week. The erosion is no longer confined to Democrats, with notable slippage among Republicans and even within Trump’s own 2024 voter coalition. Pew’s latest data suggest that doubts about Trump’s personal qualities are now bleeding into assessments of his performance on core policy areas. A national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center between April 20 and April 26 among 5,103 U.S. adults finds Trump’s job approval at 34 percent, the lowest level of his second term. Approval has also slipped among Trump’s own 2024 voters. Seventy‑eight percent now approve of his job performance, down from 83 percent in January and from 95 percent at the start of his term. Among Republicans and Republican‑leaning independents, 68 percent approve of Trump’s job performance, down from 73 percent in January.

Americans’ assessments of Trump’s personal qualities have eroded steadily over the past several months, continuing a trend that began shortly after his landslide reelection in November 2024. One of the steepest drops comes on whether Trump “keeps his promises.” Just 38 percent of respondents say this describes him very or fairly well, down from 43 percent in August 2025, and from 51 percent shortly after the 2024 election. Forty‑one percent now say they are very or somewhat confident he can make good decisions on immigration, down from 46 percent in August and 53 percent shortly after his 2024 reelection. Confidence in Trump’s handling of military force has fallen more sharply. Just 38 percent of Americans now express confidence he would use military power wisely, compared with 46 percent last summer. Approval among Hispanic Trump voters has fallen 27 points since early 2025, to 66 percent, compared with a 14‑point decline among White Trump voters.

Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election by a 1.5 percentage point margin over Kamala Harris, receiving 49.8% of the popular vote compared to her 48.3%. Hardly a landslide. Since the Trump Inauguration on 20 January 2025, his polling numbers have steadily plummeted. Donald Trump's approval rating on inflation is currently at a net approval of -49 points, which is worse than Joe Biden's lowest approval rating of -43 points during his presidency. The 2026 midterm elections will be a national referendum on the Trump/GOP stewardship of this nation.

Ebbing support within a president’s own party can possibly complicate legislative agendas and endanger down-ballot candidates.

Trump's approval rating hits new low across three polls within days

“Voters have clearly run out of patience with the administration and his party,” an expert behind one of the surveys said.

By now it is clear, even to MAGAist's, that Donald is an unfit asshat. Unfit on every level imaginable. The rational, reasonable debate on that is over.

The question now becomes how to navigate the comprehensive disaster he's created, marginalize him and the MAGAist cause going forward, and how to fix the damage once he's gone.

I care more about his decisions to protect America and Americans than I do his (sometimes) abrasive personality.

His days as a TV personality are over. Now he's president. I voted for him because he does a damn good job running this country. Not because I'd want to cuddle with him over bunny cookies.

 

[j-mac]

More expected agit prop polls and articles from the left in this country leading up to the midterms....Nothing to see here, it's all fake.

Trump isn’t protecting Americans; he’s protecting the Epstein class.

Meh, he's not running again, who cares?

I enjoy Trump running roughshod over our domestic enemies.

Problem with this is it ignores the fact that no politician in America is held in high regard thanks to the nasty tactics of the Democrat Party.

Focus on members of congress and they can't get above 13% approval.

The Democrat Party is just one big scam.

We're seeing how easily personality, temperament and behaviors can override and destroy perfectly reasonable goals.

The way you treat people matters. And never more so than when those people are domestic and global elected leaders.

Trump has absolutely no understanding of that whatsoever, and neither does his flock. Obviously. It's just pure caveman, 24/7/365.

The world has never seen anything like this. Ever. There is no comparison. Ever.

/----/ What comprehensive disaster? Do you have anything to offer rather than generic rants?
Here's an example of a comprehensive disaster to help you out.

Democrats got those votes from a few large population centers with people who are easily manipulated as this voting results map clearly shows. The only poll that matters is when the votes are counted.

And Trump's dislike by the public is rubbing on the GOPP.

He rapes kids and gloats about slaughtering defenseless 3rd world people. Only the most evil, satanic monsters in the world are still supporting him.

We won't invade them, so air assault them whenever their U programs get out of control.

That’s what Trump is doing dummy.

I wonder if you really don't know? Right now people completely in the grip of satan want to end their civilization and send 100 million people to their deaths or into despair. That is the stance of our American Taliban. A few years ago we had the JCPOA, which was the best way to deal with Iran.
