President Donald Trump's approval rating is now the lowest its been in his second term, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
Thirty-six percent of Americans approve of the job he's doing, the poll found, continuing a downward trend since March 2025, when 45% approved. Sixty-four percent of independents say they either disapprove or strongly disapprove of his performance in office, and 18% of Republicans say the same.
The data suggests Americans are connecting affordability challenges, such as the high price of gas and rising food costs, with Trump's presidency, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
For some, "it's Donald Trump, and that's where the slippage comes in. He can't get away with high prices at the pump and at the supermarket and not get tarnished by that," Miringoff said.
High — but dropping — gas prices may be behind some of that disapproval. Seventy-eight percent of Americans said gas prices had some effect on their household budgets.

Doesn’t everybody celebrate the 250 year anniversary of America’s independence by showcasing the president’s $400 million gift plane from Qatar and building a $600 million ballroom funded by taxpayer dollars while Americans are paying about four bucks for gasoline?
What a way to tell us all it’s Trump’s world and we’re just living in it and paying the price. Happy Birthday America!

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNN just broke down how Donald Trump's efforts to weaponize the Department of Justice against Gavin Newsom will backfire spectacularly. This is amazing.
"If it was good news, it would have been leaked. We'd all know about it. Donald Trump would stay around to sign and pass out pens. The fact that he is getting out of town does not bode well," @DavidJUrban says of the MOU.
BREAKING: In a stunning admission on Fox News, Fox News' top Defense Correspondent just admitted that Donald Trump's deal will not end Iran's nuclear ambitions. This is terrible.
After blowing $29 billion in taxpayer dollars and losing 13 American lives (plus over 400 US service members wounded), Trump is delivering a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿.
Weak. Reckless. Total failure.

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
@FoxNews Iran was not working on a nuclear weapon, so in other words, absolutely nothing has been achieved outside of ruining the US economy and bombing an elementary school full of children.
Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo
I'm shocked but not surprised to hear that, at a time when families are worried about making ends meet, President Trump is building a giant wrestling cage in front of the partially-demolished White House to celebrate his birthday. What a perfect summary of this Administration.
BREAKING: Americans cheer as Trump's name is removed from the Kennedy Center!
Today is a BEAUTIFUL day...
The takedown is a result of a decision by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who ruled that the center's board had no authority to slap their cult leader's name on the building because federal law “makes crystal clear” that the center is named after John F. Kennedy and nobody else.
Bye bye Donnie!

Fuckface falls asleep on live TV, he lies as he breathes, his body is decomposing, he can’t walk a straight line, he has dementia, he’s an adjudicated rapist, a pedophile, a convicted felon, he’s got the IQ of a carp AND HE STILL HOLDS THE NUCLEAR CODES.
Trump torched Obama's deal the one that opened with Iran's ironclad "never nuclear weapons" pledge, then watched Tehran race toward the bomb under "maximum pressure."
Now he's popping champagne over the exact same core commitment, extracted only after fresh strikes, a fragile ceasefire, and Hormuz reopenings.
Same promise. Different body count.
Diplomacy didn't fail the first time, consistency did.
