President Trump’s job approval has fallen to 38 percent, marking the lowest point of his second term, according to a new poll released by Quinnipiac University. The survey, conducted in June, found that 38 percent of registered voters approve of how Trump is handling his role as president, while 54 percent disapprove.
This is the first time since Trump returned to office in January that his approval has dropped below 40 percent. At the start of his second term, Trump reached a high of 46 percent. That number has steadily declined in the months since down to 45 percent in February, 42 percent in March, and 41 percent in April. Quinnipiac did not release polling data in May.
Among the issues tracked in the poll, immigration remains Trump’s strongest area, with a 43 percent approval rating and 54 percent disapproval. Still, that’s a slight dip from April, when immigration approval stood at 45 percent and disapproval at 50 percent. Public sentiment on deportations also dropped, with 40 percent approving and 56 percent disapproving compared to 42 percent approval and 53 percent disapproval in April.
The president received a 40 percent approval rating on the economy, 38 percent on trade, 37 percent on universities, 35 percent on the Israel-Hamas conflict, and 34 percent on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, reflecting a broad decline across multiple policy areas.
