U.S. President Donald Trump’s public approval has dropped sharply in 2026, reaching levels comparable to George W. Bush’s lowest ratings nearly two decades ago. According to three new polls released Tuesday, Trump’s support now stands in the mid-30 percent range. The Reuters-Ipsos poll recorded 36 percent approval, Strength in Number Verasight found 35 percent, and AP-NORC reported 33 percent. Earlier, an NBC News survey showed 37 percent support, then the lowest of his presidency.

Out of nine major polls conducted over the past month, eight placed Trump’s approval in the 30s, with only Fox News showing 41 percent—still its lowest since 2017. Analysts note that the current decline surpasses previous dips seen early in Trump’s first term and after the Capitol Hill attack. CNN’s “Poll of Polls” indicates that 62 percent of Americans now disapprove of him.

Experts cited in the report suggest that more Americans than ever before are opposing Trump, and his second-term approval trend continues to fall steadily.
