Historic Plunge for Donald Trump: The unprecedented descent of "The Don" persists, unchecked
================================================================================
In the midst of his second presidential term, U.S. President Donald Trump finds himself at a record-low point in the latest polls, raising questions about the sustainability of his political standing.
According to a July 2025 Gallup poll, Trump's overall job approval rating dropped to 37%, the lowest of his second term and close to his all-time low of 34% at the end of his first term. Among independents, approval is particularly low at 29%, matching previous lows, while Republican support remains high near 90% and Democrats' approval remains in the single digits.
Similarly, a late July 2025 University of Massachusetts Amherst poll found Trump's net approval at -20 (38% approve vs. 58% disapprove), a decline of 6 points since April. This poll highlights broad disapproval across various demographic groups besides Republicans, indicating challenges in broader public support.
An Ipsos Reuters survey from July 2025 reports that Trump's overall approval rating has been stable since June with about 41% approval on immigration, though this is noted as the lowest point on this issue for his second term. The overall approval remains low across several issue areas, including the economy and foreign policy, with significant public skepticism on matters related to Jeffrey Epstein investigations.
In summary, multiple recent polls show Trump's second-term approval ratings near or below 40%, with significant drops among independents and across demographic groups other than Republicans, reflecting continued public dissatisfaction six months into his second term.
