Multiple national opinion surveys released on Thursday indicate that public support for President Donald Trump has weakened six months into his second term. A new Pew Research Center poll places his overall job approval at 38%, with 60% of respondents disapproving. The survey also registers declines in several personal attribute ratings compared with the start of the year. The downward movement is echoed in other polling. Rasmussen Reports’ daily tracking poll shows 48% approval versus 49% disapproval among likely voters on 14 August, a one-point drop from the previous day. Morning Consult finds support among Medicaid recipients—an electorate Trump narrowly carried in 2024—has fallen to 36% from 52% in late January, a 37-point net swing toward disapproval. Erosion is visible even within the Republican base. Separate data show the share of GOP-leaning voters who back ‘all’ or ‘most’ of the president’s policies slipping to 58% in August from 67% in February. The confluence of surveys suggests the White House faces a broader softening in public sentiment as the administration approaches key legislative battles in Congress.
