In the morning, many people glance in the mirror for different reasons, whether it’s to follow a skincare routine, recite affirmations, or simply check for any facial changes.

President Donald Trump is encountering new political challenges just a few months after taking office again. A fresh round of polling presents a conflicting and more nuanced picture of public opinion. Trump’s second term is already putting American voters’ patience and perception to the test as his approval ratings decline, economic annoyances increase, and international tensions escalate. Additionally, traditionally strong Republican territory is showing signs of weakness for the first time in a long time. The Approval Rating for Trump Drops Below 50% Just 45% of Americans currently approve of Trump’s job performance, according to a recent poll taken earlier this month, five months into his second term in office. In the meantime, 9% are unsure and 46% disagree. Compared to January, when Trump’s approval was 49%, that represents a significant decline, according to polling data from The Daily Boulder. Even though the drop might appear slight, it represents a growing sense of unease among the populace, especially in light of Trump’s historically divisive presidency. As the nation approaches the 2026 midterm elections, it is significant that his disapproval has now surpassed his approval.
