President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains predominantly negative, with a current approval of 45% compared to a disapproval of 55%, according to a recent NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey. Despite overall stability in these numbers since April, there are indications of fluctuating enthusiasm among Republican supporters, particularly those aligned with the MAGA movement, where strong approval dropped from 46% to 37%.
Trump’s handling of immigration and border security is noted as his strongest issue, with 51% approving of his management in this area. However, sentiment is closely divided, reflecting underlying tensions within his voter base. Conversely, Trump’s ratings on tariffs and other policies are more unfavorable, with 60% disapproving of his tariff approach and significant dissatisfaction regarding handling cost of living and inflation.
As Congress grapples with a massive tax and spending plan, the poll illustrates the complexity of Republican priorities, with 51% of Americans prioritizing spending on programs like Medicaid, closely divided against the 49% focusing on tax cuts and debt reduction. This represents a split among Republicans as well: about 40% prioritize debt reduction, while a similar percentage favors tax cuts.
Democrats and many independents expressed anger towards Trump’s administration, with 79% of Democrats prioritizing Medicaid spending. Furthermore, Trump’s ratings on university operations are disapproved by 56% of the public, despite strong support among MAGA enthusiasts.
The poll, which surveyed 19,410 adults from May 30 to June 10, reveals a stark emotional divide between parties, indicating that GOP leaders will need to rally enthusiasm among their base as the midterm elections approach.
