The net approval is also markedly lower than former President Biden\u2019s net -6 percentage point approval at this point in his presidency and Trump\u2019s net -11 percentage point approval at this point in his first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s worst net approval rating was also -23 percentage points, a low point recorded only twice in his presidency, both during his final year in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s approval and disapproval ratings are also near his records. YouGov and The Economist only recorded a lower approval rating for Trump once during both terms \u2014 when 34 percent of Americans approved of his performance in November 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His disapproval rating similarly only surpassed current levels once \u2014 when 59 percent disapproved in February 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decline in Trump\u2019s approval rating is largely driven by a softening of support from Trump\u2019s own base, which has come amid a ramping up of U.S. military action in Iran, a partial government shutdown and a decline in the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest survey shows, among 2024 Trump voters, 76 percent approve of his handling of the presidency, compared to 19 percent who disapprove. That net +57 approval marks a 15-point drop from three weeks ago, when 84 percent approved and 12 percent disapproved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest survey marks a new second-term low for Trump\u2019s net approval among Americans 65 and over, who\u2019ve registered a net -17 percentage point approval of the president, with 57 percent disapproving and 40 percent approving of his handling of his job in office. Last week, net approval was -10 points, after starting this presidency at net -1 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voters under 30 have also seen a sharp drop in support, with net approval at -40 percentage points this week, down from net -25 points last week, -39 percentage points the week before and net -29 points the week before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young voters recorded their lowest net approval of -54 percentage points in October 2025, after beginning his second term with a net approval of +5 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey, conducted on March 27-30, included 1,679 respondents and had a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump\u2019s net approval dropped to a new low in this week\u2019s YouGov\/The Economist poll, fueled by declining support from the president\u2019s core backers.
