Trump's approval rating also reportedly dropped to 40%, the lowest percentage of his second term in office, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll released on July 30. The poll, which was conducted through July 28, surveyed 1,023 U.S. adults and had a 3% margin of error.
Trump began his second term with a 47% approval rating in January, which has steadily dropped through his first few months in office, including a 1% drop since July 16. About one-third of independents were reported to approve Trump's job performance, while 83% of Republicans still supported the president and only 3% of Democrats approved his performance.
Last week, the Economist/YouGov poll showed that Trump's net approval rating was at -15, the lowest of his second term. The survey, which polled 1,777 U.S. adult citizens between July 25 and July 28, showed that 40% of respondents approved Trump's job performance while 55% disapproved.
The Economist/YouGov poll previously had the president at a -14 net approval rating with a 41% approval and a 55% disapproval for the past two weeks and a -11 net approval with a 42% approval and 53% disapproval for the two weeks prior to that. Gallup had previously reported that Trump's approval rating dropped to 37%, his lowest of his second term and just 3% points higher than his all-time worst rating set in his first term, in its poll conducted last week.
Trump's approval rating fell 10% since taking office in January, which includes a 17% decline among independents to 29%, matching his all-time lowest rating among the group.
