Trump approval is low, a new poll shows. Here's who's pulling away
The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll shows what Americans think of President Trump and his policies.
www.npr.orgHere’s a concise update on the latest polling disapproval for Donald Trump, based on recent coverage.
- A late-M March 2026 poll reported by Newsweek indicated Trump’s disapproval reached a new high, contributing to the worst net approval gap of his current term. [cite ][1]
- Earlier in January 2026, additional polling suggested disapproval trends continued to rise or remained elevated across major outlets, aligning with reports of growing dissatisfaction nationwide. [cite ][2]
- Other outlets in late 2025 and early 2026 also highlighted record-low approval or high disapproval across multiple pollsters, underscoring a broad cross-pollster trend rather than a single-agency anomaly. [cite ][cite ][cite ][4][5][6]
- Some outlets and broadcasts in May 2026 summarized disapproval reaching peak levels across several national polls, often tied to concerns about the economy, foreign policy decisions, and domestic issues. [cite ][cite ][7][8]
Important notes:
- Polling figures vary by methodology, date, and margin of error. The trend across multiple sources shows elevated disapproval rather than consistent, uniform numbers from one pollster.
- If you’d like, I can pull the most recent single-poll figures from a particular outlet (e.g., NPR/Marist, Washington Post/ABC, CBS/YouGov) and compare their disapproval levels side-by-side.
