Gallup: Trump Approval 36%, or what I like to refer to as "WTF STILL TOO ****ING HIGH" [View all]

Last edited Sun Nov 30, 2025, 02:36 PM - Edit history (1)

Trump’s job approval rating has fallen five percentage points to 36%, the lowest of his second term, while disapproval has risen to 60%. The latest decline follows three months of stability, with 40% to 41% of Americans expressing approval of his handling of the presidency. His prior second-term low point in approval was a statistically similar 37% in July, and his all-time low was 34% in 2021, at the end of his first term after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The latest findings are from a Nov. 3-25 Gallup poll that spanned off-year elections, which resulted in gains for Democrats. In addition, the poll was conducted as the federal government shutdown became the longest in U.S. history before its eventual resolution on Nov. 12.

Both Republicans’ and independents’ ratings of Trump have worsened significantly since last month. Republicans’ approval has fallen seven points to 84%, while independents’ has slipped eight points to 25%. Republicans’ rating is the lowest of Trump’s second term, while independents’ is the worst in either term. Trump’s prior low point among independents, 29%, was last recorded in July and, prior to that, was only seen once before, in August 2017.

Meanwhile, Democrats’ rating of the president remains mired in the low single digits (3%).
