President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have dipped into negative territory across all major polling aggregators, a first for his presidency. The New York Times’ aggregator shows an average disapproval rating of 55 percent. A recent J.L. Partners poll indicated 49 percent disapproval, while even Rasmussen Reports, known for leaning Republican, showed a negative rating, with 51 percent disapproval.
Political analyst Nate Silver noted that disapproval of President Trump is slightly higher now than at a comparable point in his first term, with 55.9% disapproving. This negative sentiment is attributed to factors like the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, economic policies, and general fatigue. Recent polls from The Economist/YouGov and Fox News indicate declining approval ratings and negative views on the economy, potentially impacting the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Experts suggest that the predictability and perceived ineffectiveness of Trump’s policies could lead to a decline in popularity, opening doors for Democrats.
Nearly 2/3 of Americans Disapprove of Trump Ballroom Plan, and the sheer magnitude of that disapproval is, frankly, something to take note of. It’s hard to ignore that level of sentiment.

Democrats displayed even stronger negative sentiment, with 83% strongly disapproving, while a little over half of Republican supporters strongly approved.
