Donald Trump’s Support Tanks Early in Second Term—Poll Numbers Paint Grim Picture
- Multiple national polls in April 2025 show President Donald Trump's approval ratings reaching historic lows 100 days into his second term across the United States.
- This decline follows higher approval earlier in the year but coincides with voter concerns over the economy and dissatisfaction with the administration's policies.
- Polls find Trump's net approval between-10 and-16 points, with sub-40% job approval ratings, especially poor marks on handling the economy and immigration.

- Sustained low ratings could jeopardize Trump's policy agenda and Republican midterm prospects unless the administration restores public trust and addresses economic concerns.
