Donald Trump's approval rating on immigration has reached a new low, according to polling.

Why It Matters

Immigration was the cornerstone of Trump's 2024 campaign and an issue Trump previously polled highly on. But recent polls have shown Trump's approval rating on immigration underwater.

A decline in approval now"especially as immigration remains a central focus"signals potential vulnerability in his messaging and may reflect shifting public attitudes or dissatisfaction with how he and his allies are handling the issue.

"Trump's 46 percent approval rating is lower than that of former President Joe Biden at the same point in his presidency. On May 13, 2021, Biden stood at 54 percent, with a disapproval rating of 42 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.

While Trump began his second term with his highest approval ratings to date, according to Gallup's first poll of Trump's second term, conducted between January 21 and 27, he was still less popular than any president since 1953 at the start of a term and the only one to begin with a sub-50 percent approval rating. Gallup said Biden started his first term with a 57 percent approval rating.

"And, according to data compiled from Gallup by The American Presidency Project, Trump ranks far below other recently elected presidents after 100 days, dating back to Eisenhower, who had an approval rating of 73 percent.

Other recently elected presidents saw higher approval ratings at the 100-day mark, including John F. Kennedy, 83 percent; Richard Nixon, 62 percent; Jimmy Carter, 63 percent; Ronald Reagan, 68 percent; George H.W. Bush, 56 percent; Bill Clinton, 55 percent; George W. Bush, 62 percent; and Barack Obama, 65 percent."

... Donald Trump's approval rating on immigration has reached a new low, according to polling...

That is surprising. At one time he had a double-digit net approval rating for immigration.

While polling on immigration still shows Pres Trump to be under water ...

the gap has been diminishing in recent polls, maybe as the tariff mess has taken more of the front stage.

LOL, wait a week for the tariff pause and roaring Dow to be included in the polling. What we see in these polls people listening to the MSM and being fearful for no reason. Hell, wholesale inflation is DOWN .5% from March. Exactly the opposite of what was expected.
