Trump’s approval ratings have fallen in recent weeks as he approaches the end of the first year of his second term.

A Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) polling average of surveys on Trump’s approval rating shows it sitting at 42 percent, while his disapproval rating currently sits at 55 percent. That’s lower than roughly a month ago, when the average had his approval rating at close to 46 percent and his disapproval rating at around 51 percent.

While Trump said in a recent Truth Social post last weekend that he had received “THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY ‘POLITICAL CAREER,’” experts are saying otherwise, attributing his lower numbers to frustration around high costs and some slippage over the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids the administration has carried out.

    42%, it’s not really falling as it is always around this low. Also: 42% still adore the guy. Also: I think it’s at least 43% too high.

      Sick of these bullshit articles claiming poll numbers drop yet always 42% still approve. One it should be zero and second Trump don’t give shit about polls.

    I’m sorry…concerns? CONCERNS?!

    I’m concerned when I might have to skip lunch. What’s happening now is a full blown blaring alarm that war is upon us.

    I really do wonder what curated video and propaganda did people see, as presented by social media algorithm, to be so enamoured by Trump. So it’s not necessarily the person’s fault if they weren’t given the full information, if the media feed they’re getting is whatever the social media giants feeds them. I’ve been thinking of doing research, but I’m afraid it may lead me to a rabbit hole that i may not want.
