President Trump’s job approval has dipped by 3 points since March 2025 among registered voters, according to a new poll.
In the NBC News poll, 44 percent of respondents said they either “strongly” or “somewhat” backed Trump’s job performance, down from 47 percent in March 2025. Fifty-four percent of poll respondents said they were “strongly” or “somewhat” not in favor of his job performance, up from 51 percent last year.
Trump has faced political headwinds on multiple fronts in the last few months, dealing with backlash over his immigration agenda, his administration’s handling of files linked to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and sweeping Democratic election victories last year.
In a polling average from Decision Desk HQ, Trump’s approval rating is sitting at 43.1 percent, and his disapproval rating is at 54.4 percent.
The NBC News poll also found 53 percent of respondents backing Trump’s work on border security, 44 percent backing his work on immigration and 41 percent supporting his efforts when it comes to Iran, with the U.S. currently involved in a conflict against the Middle Eastern country.
Earlier this year, Trump warned of a possible Democratic victory in the upcoming midterm elections. The president has often noted the party in control of the White House historically performs poorly in the midterms.
“Presidents, whether it’s Republican or Democrat, when they win, it doesn’t make any difference. They seem to lose the midterms,” Trump told conservative talk show host Will Cain.
“Maybe they want to put up a guard fence. You just don’t know. It doesn’t make sense,” he said. “Hopefully we’re going to change that around. We’re doing great.”
The NBC News poll took place from Feb. 27 to March 3, featured 1,000 registered voters and had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
