26% of NPR/PBS News/Marist poll respondents "strongly approve" of Trump. IT'S A MANDATE! USA! USA! USA! [View all]

A bombshell new survey shows President Donald Trump now facing the highest level of disapproval among Americans since he was accused of instigating deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol five years ago.

The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll has found that Trump is facing his lowest polling since just after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. His overall approval rating is at a shocking 39 percent, while some 56 percent said they disapproved of his leadership. A huge 51 percent strongly disapproved. Just 26 percent strongly approve of the job Trump is doing.

His approval rating, per Marist, has been below 40 since November. The New York Times currently has it at 41, with 55 percent disapproving. According to Marist’s figures, 59 percent disapprove of the president on the economy, and 56 disapprove of the president on foreign policy.

The 51 percent portion is the highest disapproval rating Marist has seen since it started asking how strongly respondents approve or disapprove of presidents. Their research dates back to Trump’s first term, in 2017.
