Trump's approval rating plummeted to an unprecedented 40%, according to recent polls.
By the end of July 2025, public approval of Donald Trump's economic policies is relatively low, with a 41% approval rating and 51% disapproval on the economy. Immigration policies, on the other hand, have somewhat higher approval, with the public roughly split at 45% approval and 46% disapproval. However, approval for immigration has recently declined to the lowest point of Trump's second term.
The survey, conducted to gauge public opinion on Trump's performance, did not provide specific reasons for the slight improvement in approval ratings for both his economic actions and immigration policies. Approval for Trump's economic actions increased from 35% in mid-July to 38%, while approval for his immigration policies increased from 41% in the previous poll to 43%.
The survey, concluded on Monday, covered 1023 adult U.S. citizens nationwide. Around a third of independent voters expressed approval for Trump, while 83% of Republicans approve of his performance. Notably, only 3% of Democrats approve of Trump's performance.
The survey was focused on assessing Trump's performance in his campaign promises, particularly in boosting the U.S. economy and taking a hard stance on immigration. However, it did not specify if the improvement in approval ratings is significant enough to impact Trump's overall approval rating or if it is a result of changes in policy or public perception.
The survey results indicate a mixed view among Americans on Trump's handling of the U.S. economy and immigration. Americans have mixed views on Trump's handling of the U.S. economy, with a net negative public view, while immigration policies maintain a split approval/disapproval but have recently declined to their lowest approval in the current term.
It's important to note that the survey had a 3 percentage point margin of error. Additionally, the survey did not provide specific details about the demographic breakdown of respondents' political affiliations in relation to the improved approval ratings, nor did it mention the respondents' opinions on Trump's handling of other issues such as foreign policy, healthcare, or climate change.
In conclusion, while Trump's economic policies face a net negative public view with over half disapproving, immigration policies maintain a split approval/disapproval but have recently declined to their lowest approval in the current term. These trends reflect a general dip in Trump’s approval, especially among independents.
The survey, focused on Trump's performance in his campaign promises, also touched upon policy-and-legislation areas such as the economy and immigration, with politics playing a significant role in shaping the public's opinions. Despite the 41% approval rating for Donald Trump's economic policies, general-news reports indicate a net negative public view.
