President Trump’s job approval rating has dropped to 37 percent—his lowest mark of his second term and just above the all-time low of 34 percent he logged at the end of his first. The latest Gallup poll, conducted July 7–21, shows Trump has already lost 10 percentage points with U.S. adults since returning to office in January. Independent voters in particular are souring fast, with approval among that key bloc having tumbled 17 points since January to 29 percent, matching his lowest score with them across both terms. Republican support remains high, holding steady around 90 percent, while Democrats gave him a dismal job approval rating of just 2 percent this month—which is actually an improvement from the 1 percent they gave him in June. The slump follows Trump’s signing of the sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill” on July 4—a legislation package packed with trade tariffs, federal workforce cuts, and rollbacks of electric vehicle subsidies. The bill has drawn heat from moderates and clean energy advocates alike. Trump has dismissed poor polling in the past as “fake,” but the numbers are replicated in several polls, on immigration and other issues.
