  • President Donald Trump has an overall job approval rating of 37% according to two national polls by CBS News/YouGov and The New York Times/Siena College conducted in May 2026.
  • The CBS News/YouGov poll shows 33% approval for Trump's handling of the economy, 27% approval for inflation policies, 43% approval for immigration policies, and 34% approval for handling Iran-related matters.
  • The New York Times/Siena College poll reports 33% approval for the economy, 41% for immigration, 31% for the Iran conflict, and 30% agreement with Trump's decision to enter the conflict with Iran.
  • Both polls sampled over 1,500 U.S. adults with margins of error around ±2.7 to ±2.8 percentage points amid rising inflation, global tensions, and ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
