As mass deportation raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continue to spark protest and split public sentiment, President Trump’s approval rating has slipped to a new low in the latest Yahoo/YouGov poll.

A survey of 1,597 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 26 to June 30, finds that just 40% now approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down from 44% in March. Meanwhile, a full 56% of Americans — up from 50% in March — currently disapprove of Trump’s performance. That’s a net swing of 10 percentage points away from the president over the last three months ...

Immigration has long been an area of relative strength for Trump. Before last November’s election, 48% of Americans predicted he would do a better job on the issue than former Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival; just 36% thought Harris would do better. And even in March, after a couple of months in office, more Americans approved (48%) than disapproved (44%) of how Trump was actually handling immigration as president — in contrast to nearly every other issue.

2. Similar to what I keep saying. Who cares if his polls are low? He's still in office.

We need to totally destroy MAGA politically in order to bring true change. Polls don’t matter.

6. When the first poll had him at 38

A lot of people thought it was an outlier. Instead all the new polling has him dropping like a rock. He is down to the cult which appear ready (and are) dying for him.

Can he lose them?

9. I'm more concerned that his cult members are willing to kill for him...

11. So many RW polls skewing things there

The normal polls don’t have him much over 40% approval, which is still too high.
