Fresh Trump Approval Poll Shows What the U.S. Truly Believes

New nationwide surveys indicate a significant drop in public trust in President Donald Trump, even as he maintains that his second term is progressing without issues.

A recent CNN/SSRS poll of 1,245 adults, taken from October 27 to 30, shows Trump’s approval rating at 37%, falling from 47% in February—one of the lowest levels of his presidency. In contrast, 63% of Americans now say they disapprove of the job he is doing.

Public outlook on the country’s trajectory is also bleak. About 68% say the U.S. is doing “pretty badly” or “very badly,” with rising costs and financial pressures fueling most of the frustration. Nearly half—47%—cite inflation and the cost of living as the nation’s biggest problem. Another 26% identify threats to U.S. democracy as their chief concern, while only 10% rank immigration highest, despite Trump’s frequent focus on the issue.
