Trump Approval Hits New Low in Multiple Polls — Silver Bulletin Net -19.1; YouGov/Economist 34%; Record -47 Net on Inflation

| Trump 45 & 47

Multiple polls released around May 29-31, 2026 showed Trump's approval ratings at or near record lows for either presidential term. The Silver Bulletin aggregate (Nate Silver) showed net approval at -19.1 — the lowest aggregate reading of either Trump term. The Economist/YouGov poll recorded 34% approval / 59% disapproval — the lowest in that tracking series. Emerson College showed 39% approval. Trump's net approval on handling inflation hit a historic low of -47, with only 24-25% of Americans approving of his economic performance. Democrats led the generic congressional ballot by +8 points, though Republicans' structural redistricting advantage of approximately 10 House seats may prevent Democrats from recapturing the House majority. Trump's support among white Americans without college degrees has fallen to 49% — down from 63% in February 2025 — and among Republicans broadly to 68% (from 73% in January 2025).
