A collection of national surveys released over the past week shows President Donald Trump’s standing with voters slipping on several fronts. Morning Consult’s Aug. 8-10 poll puts overall job approval at 46 percent, with 51 percent disapproving, while Rasmussen Reports’ daily tracker for Aug. 12 finds 49 percent of likely voters in the disapprove column. Economic concerns appear to be driving much of the erosion. Morning Consult records Trump one point underwater on the economy (46 percent approve, 47 percent disapprove). Separately, CNN data analyst Harry Enten, drawing on aggregated polling, says the president is now 25 points below water on inflation—a reversal of the nine-point edge he held on the issue during the 2024 campaign—and notes that Democrats hold a narrow one-point lead over Republicans on which party is more trusted to manage inflation. Demographic and issue-specific readings underline the weakness. An Economist/YouGov survey dated Aug. 11 shows only 14 percent of Black voters approving of Trump’s performance versus 82 percent disapproving. The same poll gives the president a slim positive margin on crime, 48-45 percent. A Data for Progress poll taken Aug. 10 reports that 61 percent of respondents oppose recent changes in the Oval Office, with 34 percent in favor. Support inside Trump’s own party is also softening. A Newsweek analysis of YouGov/Economist trend data shows approval among Republican-leaning voters falling nine points since January to 83 percent. Within that group, approval of the president’s economic stewardship has slipped from 90 percent at the start of the year to 79 percent in August. Analysts caution that if the current trajectory persists into the 2026 midterm cycle, it could jeopardize Republican control of the House of Representatives. Enten argues that continued voter discontent over inflation poses a particular threat to GOP incumbents.
