President Donald Trump's approval rating has declined notably in recent polls, reaching a second-term low. According to Gallup, his overall approval stands at 37%, with only 29% approval among independents, matching his all-time worst rating with that group. Recent surveys indicate a six-percentage-point drop compared to the previous week, and his net approval rating has fallen to -4, just one point above his lowest level during his second term. Trump's approval among Democrats is at 20%, the lowest recorded, and among independents, it has decreased by 16 points to 40%. Despite a major legislative victory, favorability and issue ratings for the president are declining. Meanwhile, trust in institutions among Democrats has reached a new record low. Observers are noting a potential divergence in approval trends between Trump and President Joe Biden.
