In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, June 26, the Republican leader had a 41% approval rating among respondents, with 54% disapproving. This compares to Quinnipiac's poll released June 11, when 38% approved and 54% disapproved.

Respondents gave Trump less-than-majority marks across his handling of seven key issues:

  • The military: 45% approve, 49% disapprove
  • Foreign policy: 40% approve, 54% disapprove
  • The Israel-Iran war: 39% approve, 53% disapprove
  • Immigration: 41% approve, 57% disapprove
  • Deportations: 39% approve, 59% disapprove
  • The economy: 39% approve, 56% disapprove
  • Trade: 38% approve, 55% disapprove
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released earlier this week gave Trump a similar 41% approval number, the lowest that the poll has found in his second term and down one point from earlier in the month. The poll opened after U.S. airstrikes on Iran June 21 and ended early June 23 before Iran said it attacked a U.S. air base in Qatar. The Reuters/Ipsos survey gave him a 57% disapproval rating, with opinions of his stance on the economy and foreign policy both slipping four points to 35% approval.

Anyone surprised?

I wanted to close my eyes clicking on the thread, assuming I could safely predict Trump went up in polling as we rally around a war President.

Wow, was I wrong!

I'm not surprised in the least. As ICE continues its Gestapo tactics and we discover how little the Iran bombing accomplished, his approval rating will be even lower. Any Republicans in Congress who hope to stay after 2026 need to turn on him now.
 
Nope.

Trump will be surprised, and furious. I'm sure he saw his little Iran adventure as a sure fire poll booster.

I'm surprised. We always rally around a war President. At least, initially.
 
The majority of the American people are not with Trump on anything. My sense is it will only get worse with time. By the midterms they should be totally fed up.
 
Still technically within the margin of error actually

But being clearly underwater on immigration and the economy is terrible given his campaigning and presumably support for those issues before election
RCP has him at 46.9 and Gallup has him at 45%, but keep hope alive
 
How do his numbers compare to other Presidents after 6 months in office?
Reagan - 60% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_the_Ronald_Reagan_administration)

Bush 1 - 66% (https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/george-bush-public-approval)

Clinton - ~50% average (varies from 47-56%) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Bill_Clinton)

Bush 2 - Couldn't find anything specific, just some google / AI references to it being around 60%

Obama - Also hard to pin down, seems like between 60% and 70% but was starting to fall sharply right around the 6 month mark. Mid to high 50%s might be reasonable. https://www.politico.com/story/2009/10/obamas-approval-rating-back-to-50-028537

Trump 1 - 40% (https://time.com/4868028/donald-trump-approval-rating/)

Biden - 50-57% (https://news.gallup.com/poll/352733/biden-approval-drops-lowest-date.aspx)

That's what I've been able to compile. Trump seems to be consistent in bringing up the rear in both his first and second terms.

Good news for sure, but I seriously question some of these results. Number 1 for instance...the only military personal who will speak out against him are the Veterans who only stand to lose their VA benefits, the active military stands to lose a whole lot more.. For 2; trade. Again there are certain corporate entities who are kowtowing out of fear. I suppose that same psychology applies to all of them to some extent.

I guess these ignoramus's never heard of "safety in numbers"....if they all banded together, they could save this country from the worst mistake the republicans ever made. He can't take on everyone, there aren't enough crooked attorneys in this world to do that, most of them like being licensed and have the sense to understand that trump isn't immortal and their disbarment would be permanent.

I would think these polls assure of anonymity?
 
The midterms are going to be a bloodbath for Republicans.

What a shame.

Looks like people are ignoring his lies, and paying more attention to the facts being leaked.
