Trump Approval Falls to 34% as Republican Support Slips to 80%

Summary
A new YouGov/Economist poll put Donald Trump’s approval at 34%, extending a slump that has kept his New York Times polling average below 40% since late April.
The slide reflects erosion beyond Democrats: white voters without college degrees, young and nonwhite voters who shifted right in 2024, and independents have all softened.
Republican backing still anchors Trump, but YouGov found his 80% approval among GOP identifiers and +61 net approval were the weakest of his second term.
Economic discontent appears central to the drop, with 31% of Republicans saying the economy is getting worse and 61% rating it fair or poor.
The weakness follows another poll showing 38% approval and suggests Trump’s once-sturdy support floor may be weakening unusually early in a second term.
