Details: Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 37%, while his disapproval rating of 62% is a record high across both of his presidential terms.

The poll shows that two-thirds of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Trump’s overall approval rating is being supported by his party’s voters. As many as 85% of Republicans approve of Trump and that figure has changed little during his second term.

However, the proportion of Republicans who strongly approve of Trump has declined. Currently, 45% of Republicans strongly approve of Trump, down from 53% in September and the lowest figure among Republicans across both terms.

Among MAGA Republicans, overall approval stands at 95%, including 61% who strongly approve. Overall approval among non-MAGA Republicans falls to 64%, with only 13% approving strongly.

Trump’s approval rating among independent voters has fallen to a record low across both terms. Only 25% approve of his overall performance, down from 30% in October and lower than during his first term.

Background:

A total of 61% of Americans believe the US administration’s decision to launch a military operation against Iran was wrong, comparable to the levels of disapproval seen for the wars in Iraq and Vietnam.
More than half of Americans also believe the current Trump administration’s policies are more likely to harm the country’s economy, while an even larger share view the economic situation negatively.
