President Donald Trump's approval rating has gone negative in another poll released Wednesday. Experts told Newsweek where his problem may be coming from.
Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment via email.
Why It Matters
Trump's approval rating had a longer honeymoon period this time around compared to his first time in office, but polls suggest his support is seeing cracks amid growing backlash to policies like tariffs and the firing of federal workers, as well as Americans shifting blame toward him on the current state of the economy.His approval is a major indicator of his popularity and political strength ahead of upcoming policy battles and as the Republican Party gears up for the midterms when Democrats are hoping to pick up seats in the House of Representatives and Senate.
What to Know
The new poll from YouGov and The Economist, which surveyed 1,618 adults from March 16 to March 18, 2025, showed Trump's approval as being underwater for the first time in a month.Fifty percent of respondents said they disapprove of Trump's job performance, compared to 45 percent of those who said they still approve of his second term.
Earlier in March, a YouGov/The Economist poll showed Trump's approval at a net zero, with 47 percent of respondents each saying they approve and disapprove of his job performance. That poll surveyed 1,699 adults from March 9 to March 11, 2025.
