A recent NBC News poll reveals the high rate of disapproval of President Donald Trump's second term in office among Americans. The poll, conducted with more than 19,000 adults, shows mixed opinions.
According to an NBC News poll, President Donald Trump's second term has a disapproval rate among Americans. The News Decision Desk poll takes a look at general attitudes toward his administration's policies. The chart also offers a comparison between the latest and previous results.
President Trump has been criticized not only by Democrats but also by worldwide authorities for his immigration policies, his increase in tariffs, and even his national security measures. Despite being on the negative side, the poll also shows how his followers, including MAGA supporters and members of the Republican Party, still "strongly support" Donald Trump.
Some numbers against Trump
The poll was conducted between May 30th and June 10th, with over 19,000 adults participating online. Forty-five percent of them said that their financial situation is the same as it was a year ago, and 34 percent said that it is worse. Only 21 percent said that it has improved. Additionally, 51 percent said that Trump's tariffs will negatively affect their finances in the coming year.
On other issues, 56 percent said that the DOGE efforts are a failure or a partial failure, compared to the 44 percent who qualified it as a success. Other charts agree with these results, such as the weekly one by The Economist, which stated that last week, Trump's approval was at -8 percent.

The chart revealed that Republicans are split over the main goal of Trump's tax policy. Twenty-one percent said that it is about maintaining programs like Medicaid, 39 percent said it is about continuing and expanding income tax cuts enacted during the President's first term, and the remaining 40 percent said that the goal should be ensuring that the national debt is reduced.
Trump also had positive numbers regarding his border security and immigration measures. Fifty-one percent said that they approve of how the President is handling it. However, on issues like DEI efforts, colleges and universities, and inflation, the numbers are against the President.
