How Low Can Trump’s Approval Go?
April 28, 2025 at 9:51 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

William Kristol: “The numbers are pretty striking. And what’s also striking is that support for Trump’s performance on a wide range of issues has declined across the board. Obviously, he’s stronger on some issues than others—but on all of them, he’s trending down.”

“This kind of broad disapproval is harder to reverse than if there were simply one issue harming his presidency, on which he could presumably change course. There’s no obvious silver bullet for Trump to reach for in order to restore his public standing.”

1. As low as those reporting says it is.....

And his doj is already intimidating polling orgs and the media about it.

When the news tells you the temp, it is just a number the wx caster speaks.

2. I would say 33%

About a third of the population are frothing at mouth deplorables who will support Trump no matter what, even if they have to live under a bridge.

But Trump's poll numbers don't matter. He can't and won't be held accountable. He will inflict so much damage by mid-terms that the only way we will be able to turn things around would be to have enough Senators to be able to convict and remove him after a House impeachment.

I don't see that happening. At least not right now.

18. 17% .... Yes yes yes !!!!!!

3. I would give my approval to the Felon and his administration

If all of them resigned. Granted, we’d be stuck with Moses Mike but I doubt he would be as corrupt

4. 20s

I think he can fall into the 20s when the recession starts to become apparent.

5. He is basically down to his cult.

We will see if he can break into their loyalty. If they go . . .

6. Well, I already think it's lower than reported...

so that would be very low

[flamingdem]

7. In the final analysis he doesn't care

He's got power and he'll use it to destroy. Those polling orgs had better watch out.

[Doodley]

9. I think he cares a lot. He's a narcissist. He craves approval. Look at his behavior when opponents criticize him.

[flamingdem]

10. My point is more that he'll bitch and play victim

as a narc but in the end he wants his tariffs. He wants his way more than popularity or we'd see him changing course.

[Doodley]

14. Agreed. He believes he is right, his success will prove his critics wrong, and his support will skyrocket!

[Doodley]

8. Most of us have still not even felt the personal financial impact of tariffs. When prices start going up, his numbers

will plunge. He left office in 2021 with 34 percent average approval. I believe he will match that or even lower.

[MiHale]

11. His numbers would go way, way up...

If he died. Especially if it was a gruesome, painful death.

[Midnight Writer]

12. How low? I'm looking forward to finding out.

I'm also praying it matters. My fear is a collapse of all of our checks, balances, and guardrails.

Bad polls don't matter to a King or dictator.

[Happy Hoosier]

13. Mid-30's

About a third of this country will support that pile of crap no matter what.

[Deep State Witch]

15. 30-40%

That's how many Americans are still in the cult. Once it breaks 35%, we'll know that the MAGA Cult is finally waking up.

16. However low it goes it won't get rid of him

Only R in congress/senate can do that. We know his cabinet never will. His approval should be in the minus range imo.

[Initech]

17. Then why can't we kick these assholes out of the White House?
