Donald Trump is facing some of the lowest approval ratings of his political career, with recent polls showing his net approval sinking further into negative territory. The decline has intensified national debate, turning polling numbers into a daily talking point among supporters and critics alike.
The drop follows weeks of combative rhetoric and controversial remarks. Trump has dismissed unfavorable polls as “rigged” and accused the media of dishonesty, while insisting he still commands an unmatched political base. Though that message energizes loyal supporters, analysts say it may be pushing moderates and independents further away.
Recent data shows a steady downward trend, with dissatisfaction growing even among voters who once leaned more favorably. Many independents cite fatigue with ongoing political conflict and say they want greater stability from national leadership.
Trump has not softened his approach. He continues to argue that economic strain, immigration concerns, and global tensions stem from his opponents’ leadership, maintaining that voters will ultimately return to him.
Whether these record-low numbers signal a lasting shift or another temporary setback remains uncertain. Trump has rebounded from weak polling before, but the sustained slide suggests rising frustration that could carry significant political consequences.
