... 38% ...

Yeah, that's just one poll, albeit a respected poll.

For a summary of recent polls ...

...
RCP Average 5/14 - 6/10
Approve: 46.8
Disapporove: 50.1

So underwater. Is it usual for a second-term President to be underwater in the polls at this point?



More interesting than the recent average is the recent trend, if you scroll down a bit in that link.

Even Rasmussen Reports is showing a decline since May.

Trump's Approval Rating Hits Second-Term Low With Most Accurate Pollster (May 31, 2025)
www.newsweek.com

... President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low, according to the nation's most accurate pollster.

The latest AtlasIntel survey, conducted between May 21-27 among 3,469 adults, shows that Trump's approval rating has fallen to 45 percent, while 54 percent disapprove.

That is the lowest rating of his second term so far. In previous AtlasIntel polls, his approval ranged between 46 and 50 percent, while his disapproval ranged between 49 and 52 percent.

The poll had a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.
Why It Matters

AtlasIntel was ranked the most accurate polling company of the 2024 election by survey veteran Nate Silver and was previously named the most accurate pollster of the 2020 election by 538.

Recent surveys had shown Trump's approval rating creeping back up after a period of decline following the introduction of his "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, which saw the stock market fall.

But polls published in recent days show a more complicated picture of Trump's support.

What To Know

Trump's declining approval rating comes as the number of Americans who rate his overall performance as "Excellent" or "Good" has dropped from 46 percent in February to just 39 percent in May, according to AtlasIntel.

Over the same period, those who rate his performance as "Poor" or "Very Poor" has climbed from 47 percent to 54 percent, indicating a clear erosion of support as the year has progressed.

The decline in overall approval is mirrored in public assessments of Trump's handling of major national issues. On immigration -- long one of Trump's hallmark concerns -- 53 percent of respondents now say his performance is poor, compared to just 47 percent who view it positively. ...

I'll start paying attention below 32 or so. Those are the ones like ScatS and Bellringer and Robson ...

who are vastly different, but seem immovable off the dime at this point.

He'll sink to a consistent 35-40%.

Because that's the MAGA s(*& we will never be able to scrape off of our shoe.

Any poll that has Trump at 38% makes him piss his pants.

The desperate man will become even more desperate.

Everyone watch yourself this Saturday.

If polls continue to sink we can forget about having an election in 2026. Rs will not let it happen unless they're going to win.

You people will continue to insist that Trump is popular until the very moment he is dragged into the street by an enraged citizenry and shot.
