Trump approval rating drops to 37 percent: Pew poll

A Pew Research Center poll shows Trump's approval at 37%, with support declining mainly among Republicans and half saying his administration has been worse than expected.

  • On Thursday, Pew Research Center reported President Donald Trump’s approval at 37% with 61% disapproval, a net approval of-24 percent, marking a second‑term low.
  • Between Jan. 20–26, Pew Research Center surveyed 8,512 U.S. adults using its American Trends panel, a period including the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
  • Across six qualities, Pew Research Center found more Americans express little or no confidence than extreme confidence in Trump, with only 34% confident in his leadership and 21% in his ethics, which fell 8 points since last February.
  • Pew Research Center warns the slide in approval could influence the 2026 midterms, as 61% say GOP members do not have an obligation to support Trump if they disagree.
  • The result continues a yearlong decline across polls as only 27% now support Trump’s policies, down from 35% last year, and 50% say administration actions are worse versus 21% better.
