Washington Post-ABC News poll: Trump approval 39% positive, 60% negative. "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID..." [View all]

The Washington Post–ABC News poll, conducted between Feb. 12-17 among 2,589 U.S. adults, puts Trump’s approval rating at 39 percent positive and 60 percent negative among adults nationwide. Notably, nearly half of all respondents—47 percent—say they strongly disapprove of the president.

The last time Trump’s disapproval rating hit 60 percent was in the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The new poll has a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.'

Trump’s disapproval ratings have slowly crept up since the beginning of his second term, hitting 53 percent in the Washington Post/ABC News poll in Feb. 2025, before reaching 59 percent in October.

But disapproval seems to have hit a new high this month amid the backlash over his administration’s policies. The poll shows that Trump’s net approval is deep in negative territory on several key issues: border security is at -3, the economy -16, immigration -18, tariffs -30, and inflation -33.
