Recent polling data throughout July 2025 indicates a decline in President Donald Trump's approval ratings, particularly regarding his handling of immigration. Multiple polls, including Reuters/Ipsos, Gallup, CNN/SSRS, AP/NORC, and YouGov, show Trump's immigration approval rating falling to as low as 41%, the lowest since his return to the White House. Disapproval on immigration has reached levels above 55%, with a Gallup poll reporting 62% disapproval. The drop in approval is attributed to public backlash against aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, including masked raids at farms and workplaces, which have sparked lawsuits and criticism even among some Republicans. While Trump's overall job approval ratings fluctuate between approximately 40% and 47%, disapproval rates often exceed 50%. Polls also highlight that a majority of Americans support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and view immigration positively. In addition to immigration, Trump's approval ratings on the economy and federal budget have also declined, with net approval ratings in the negative range. However, some recent Wall Street Journal polls indicate a modest improvement in public perception of the U.S. economy. Independent voters consistently show stronger disapproval of Trump's job performance and immigration policies. These trends reflect a challenging environment for the president as he navigates key policy issues in his second term.
