President Trump’s job approval fell seven points since early February, according to the latest poll from Pew Research Center.
In the mid-April survey, published Tuesday, 40 percent of Americans say they approve of the job the president is doing, down from 47 percent who said so in the survey conducted in late January through early February.
The dip in job approval comes largely from those who say they “very strongly” approve of the president’s job: 31 percent say so today, down from 37 percent in the February poll.
In both surveys, approximately 9 percent of Trump’s job approval comes from those who say they “not so strongly” approve of the president’s job performance.
Trump’s disapproval rating has ticked up, as well — a shift also driven by those who “very strongly” disapprove of his job.
In the April survey, 59 percent disapproved of the job Trump is doing, including 48 percent who “very strongly” disapproved and 10 percent who “not so strongly” disapproved.
In the survey released in early February, Trump’s disapproval sat at 51 percent, including 40 percent who “very strongly” disapproved and 11 percent who “not so strongly” disapproved.
Trump’s job approval rating has declined among virtually all subgroups, but the drop is most pronounced among Americans who did not vote in 2024 and among his own supporters who described themselves as supporting him “not strongly” in a post-election survey.
Trump’s job approval among non-voters in the February poll was 44 percent, similar to the 47 percent approval among all adults. Today, only 31 percent of non-voters approve of the job the president is doing, compared to 40 percent of all adults who say the same.
Among Trump voters, the president’s job approval declined from 94 percent in the February survey to 88 percent in the April survey.
Those who reported “strongly” supporting Trump in the election reported similar job approval ratings: 99 percent approval in February and 96 percent approval in April.
Those who “not strongly” supported Trump in 2024 saw a steeper drop in support: 88 percent in February, compared to 75 percent in April.
The poll is consistent with other surveys measuring Trump’s job approval. In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 42 percent said they approved of Trump’s job, down from 47 percent in late January.
The Pew poll was conducted from April 7 to April 13, 2025, and included 3,589 respondents. The margin of sampling error is 1.8 percentage points.
