Poll numbers among supporters going down: It's desperation time for Donald Trump

 
Screengrab:  Pew Research, 8/14/2025
Bottom headline:  The Wrap, 8/6/2025


Jocelyn Kiley, Gabriel Borelli, Joseph Copeland and Shanay Gracia report:
President Donald Trump’s current job approval rating stands at 38%, with 60% of U.S. adults expressing disapproval of his performance. This is a modest decline from two months ago, when 41% approved. 
And perceptions of some of Trump’s personal traits are more negative than they were following his election victory (or in 2024 preelection polling). For instance, 37% of Americans today say “cares about the needs of ordinary people” describes Trump well. That share is 8 points lower than it was shortly after the November election, and 5 points lower than it was in late-summer preelection polling.
