Trump's tanking polls show nobody is buying what he's selling

Recent polling data indicates a clear decline in Donald Trump’s approval ratings: he’s trailing by 13 points in the latest YouGov poll, 12 points in Quinnipiac’s results, and even Rasmussen — often favorable to him — shows him 5 points underwater.

YouGov reports, “Trump’s net job approval has dropped by 14 points since the first Economist/YouGov poll following his inauguration this year, when 49% of Americans approved and 43% disapproved.”

Opinion: Trump’s recent tariff reversal only confirms what critics have long suspected — he lacks the backbone for consistent policy.

It’s unusually early in a presidential term to see this kind of negative shift in public sentiment.

You have questions about Trump’s tariffs. We have answers.

President Donald Trump’s tariff policies are already triggering economic disruption both at home and overseas.

On Wednesday, he unveiled a sweeping 10 percent tariff on nearly all imported goods, with many nations facing even steeper rates.

Markets reacted sharply—by Thursday afternoon, the S&P 500 had dropped more than 4 percent.

In response, China and others have vowed to retaliate, while allies like Japan are pushing for talks with the Trump administration.

Donald Trump’s Honeymoon Is Over

It seems President Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, his economy-jolting tariff strategies, and his strange fixations—from renaming the Gulf of Mexico to eyeing Greenland—are already alienating many Americans.

It’s taken barely over two months for Trump to burn through whatever post-election goodwill he may have had. According to Gallup, his approval rating has steadily declined from 47% to 45% and now sits at 43%, as Americans witness what Trump and his billionaire inner circle are actually putting into motion. That includes a full dive into the Project 2025 plan—a hard-right policy framework Trump had previously tried to disavow during the campaign.

So far, his priorities have included rebranding geographic landmarks, provoking allies like Canada and Mexico with tariff threats, and even floating the idea of a third presidential term. As if that weren’t chaotic enough, he’s handed Elon Musk unprecedented influence over federal agencies, while vital programs like cancer and Alzheimer’s research face budget threats. Musk, meanwhile, has seen his popularity fall by 10 points between February and March, according to a Harvard-HarrisX poll, as worker protests erupt at Tesla factories nationwide.
