President Donald Trump's approval rating has once again taken a downward turn after seeing a brief rebound, according to the latest Morning Consult survey published this week.
The poll showed that Trump's "approval rebound looks to be over" as only 46% of respondents approved his job performance and 52% disapproved, mirroring responses from earlier polls conducted through April and early May amid criticism over his sweeping tariffs.
“Following a few weeks of improved numbers, Trump’s approval ratings are once again trending downward,” the Morning Consult analysis states. "Our latest survey shows 46% approve and 52% disapprove of his job performance, similar to his standing throughout much of April and in early May, when his global trade war was inducing acute economic anxiety among Americans."
The latest Morning Consult survey also showed that Trump's immigration and national security approval ratings have declined recently.
“Since the beginning of June, Trump’s net approval ratings on immigration and national security have been cut in half. Voters are still 7 percentage points more likely to approve than disapprove of his handling of immigration, but that’s down from a 12-point gap, and his 6-point net approval rating on national security is down from 13 points over the same time frame,” the website's analysis states.
The survey was shared after nationwide 'No Kings' protests in response to Trump's immigration policies, as well as backlash over his handling of the Israel-Iran conflict, as it was conducted between June 13 to June 15 among 2,207 registered U.S. voters with a plus of minus 2% margin of error.
