Here’s where Democrats stand in polls at Trump’s six-month mark

UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – National polls show President Trump's approval averages 40% with disapproval rates rising by up to 21 points in some surveys, reflecting mixed public opinion six months into his second term.

  • Approximately six months into his second presidential term in mid-2025, President Donald Trump's approval ratings averaged close to 40% across several nationwide polls.
  • This rating decline stems from unmet expectations after Trump promised to fix many national issues "from day one" through strong executive action, which has not occurred.
  • Several polls, including from Catawba College, American Research Group, and Tyson Group, showed consistent approval ratings between 38% and 46%, with disapproval ranging from 53% to 59%.
  • Nate Silver observed that Trump's approval rating has recently declined at a faster pace, while associate professor Thomas Whalen pointed to the Epstein scandal and rising inflation—exacerbated by Trump's tariff threats—as major reasons for the drop in support.
  • Trump's declining approval suggests his popularity faces increasing challenges ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections, signaling a potential political reckoning.
