Donald Trump’s approval rates are falling, according to all recent polls.
President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have reached an all-time low after his tariff war against countries and this is the unanimous outcome of all recent polling, the latest being the New York Times/Sienna College one which gave Trump an approval rating of 42 per cent. 54 per cent said they disapproved of his job performance, putting him 12 points underwater in net approval.
Trump’s approval rating is considerably lower than the rating for other recent presidents nearly 100 days into their administrations.
Trump has a net negative approval rating on a wide range of issues pollsters asked respondents about, including immigration and the economy — the two issues that had consistently been seen as his strengths since the start of his first term, the NYT poll said. The poll was conducted April 21-24 among 913 registered voters. The margin of error was 3.8 points.
Men are not supporting Trump any more
One of the major takeaways from these recent polling is that Trump’s approval rating with men is turning sour. According to a Pew Research poll, conducted between April 7-13 among 3,589 Americans, Trump’s approval among men has dropped from a net positive in February (52 per cent approve, 46 per cent disapprove) to a net negative in April (44 per cent approve, 55 per cent disapprove). That represents a 17-point swing in a matter of months. The latest poll had a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percentage points.
The latest Economist/YouGov poll, conducted between April 19-22 among 1,625 respondents, shows Trump at 45 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval among male respondents—down from 55/40 just a month earlier. That represents a 19-point net drop in just four weeks. Both polls had a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
A Fox News poll, conducted between April 18-21 among 1,104 registered voters, found male support at 48/51, down from a breakeven 50/50 split in March.
