The poll surveying 1,625 U.S. adults from April 19-22 found 41% of respondents approved of Trump's job, compared to 54% who disapproved. That's down from the -10 net approval rating found in the prior week's poll by The Economist/YouGov.
Trump started off his term with higher approval ratings than those he received in his first term. But his approval ratings in April 2017 (first term) and April 2025 (second term) are the two lowest approval marks among any newly-elected president since 1953, historical data from Gallup shows.
President Joe Biden's approval ratings at this point in his presidency were positive by 11 percentage points, according to YouGov.
