President Donald Trump’s public standing has slipped to one of the weakest points of his second term, according to a series of new surveys. A Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on 18 August places his overall approval at 40 percent, matching the low for the current term and seven points below January’s level. Support among Hispanic voters—who tilted toward Trump in the 2024 election—fell to 32 percent, the lowest recorded this year. The same Reuters/Ipsos survey shows only 43 percent approving of Trump’s handling of immigration and 42 percent on crime, while 54 percent of respondents say the president is too closely aligned with Russia as he pursues peace talks over Ukraine. Separate Ipsos issue polling registers net approval ratings of minus 5 for immigration and minus 16 for the economy. Other data point in the same direction. An Echelon Insights poll conducted 14–18 August finds voters disapprove of Trump’s performance across every major issue, with negative spreads on the economy (46 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove), immigration (47/51), foreign policy (44/49) and tariffs (41/53). Overall, that survey puts the president’s net approval at minus 4. The results come as inflation ticked up to 2.7 percent in June and the administration accelerates a $45 billion expansion of immigration detention facilities, policies that have yet to translate into broader public support.
