According to the latest national poll from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, President Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33%, marking its lowest point since his second term began. This represents a decline of five percentage points from July 2025 and 11 percentage points from April of last year. The survey, conducted between March 20 and 25 among 1,000 people, shows that 62% of Americans hold a negative view of Trump’s performance in office. The polling analysis indicates that high inflation, falling stock markets, the war with Iran, airport congestion caused by government shutdowns, and nationwide protests have collectively weighed down the White House’s public approval. Even more concerning for Trump’s campaign is the noticeable erosion of support among key voter groups that helped propel him back to the White House in 2024—specifically men, working-class voters, African Americans, moderates, and independent voters. Additionally, 17% of those who voted for Trump in 2024 now express reservations about their original decision.

When it comes to policy performance, the economy remains Trump’s biggest political burden. Seventy-one percent of respondents believe he has failed to properly address inflation, 61% are dissatisfied with his employment policies, and 64% give negative evaluations of his tariff policies. Immigration, once considered one of Trump’s strengths, has rapidly become a weakness: 60% of Americans now believe he has handled the issue poorly, representing a sharp reversal from the relatively positive assessments seen in April 2025. At the same time, 54% of respondents disapprove of his performance on voting rights, reflecting widespread public resistance to legislative efforts aimed at tightening voting procedures.

In foreign affairs and national security, 63% of Americans believe Trump has handled the Iran issue poorly, with 52% stating it was “very bad,” underscoring the lack of broad public support for his military actions against Iran. While Republicans and hardline MAGA supporters continue to largely back the Iran campaign, support has noticeably weakened among broader Trump voters, revealing growing fractures within the Republican coalition.
