Approval ratings of Donald Trump’s handling of the economy and immigration are down about 10 points since March, according to the latest polling by AP-NORC.
In March 2025, a few months into Trump’s second term, his overall job approval was 42%. Similar shares approved of how he was handling of the economy (40%) and immigration (49%). Since then, fewer adults have a positive view of how Trump is handling his job overall (36%), the economy (31%), and immigration (38%).
There continue to be stark partisan divisions in how Trump’s job performance is viewed by the public, the pollsters found. Overall, 6 in 10 have a negative opinion, including about 9 in 10 Democrats and 7 in 10 independents. Conversely, 8 in 10 Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency.
Border security remains his best issue on the poll with 50% approval, including getting positive marks from nearly all Republicans, 19% of Democrats, and 36% of independents.
