Trump’s Approval Falls to New Low in Conservative Poll

A recent survey by Rasmussen Reports found President Trump’s approval rating at 41 percent, a dip to the lowest level seen during his second term. The tracker recorded 57 percent of respondents disapproving, a figure that could influence the political climate as the country heads toward the 2026 midterm elections. The poll surveyed 1, 500 likely voters and carried a three‑percent margin of error. It showed a slight decline from 43 percent approval the day before, and it places Trump below the comfort zone many conservative analysts expect for a sitting president. Other national polls echo this downward trend. Quinnipiac University reported Trump’s approval at 37 percent with a disapproval rate of 56 percent. His support on key issues such as the economy and immigration is similarly low, with 39 percent approval for the economy and 38 percent for immigration.The immigration score is especially troubling in light of recent controversies, including the deaths of two U. S. citizens who were shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis last month. These events have intensified scrutiny of the administration’s border policies and may be contributing to voters’ negative perceptions. Trump has responded by labeling polls as “fake and fraudulent, ” accusing media outlets of manipulating public opinion. He argues that even reputable sources have misrepresented his support, and he calls for reforms to address what he sees as a “polling scam. ” His comments reflect broader tensions over how public opinion is measured and reported in an era of deep political polarization.
