A new AP-NORC poll shows just 33% of adults approve of the way President Trump is managing the government, down from 42% in March.

[Doodley]

1. About one-third, 34%, of Americans said they approved of Trump's handling of health care in the November poll,

compared with 31% in October.

That shows the messaging about cuts to healthcare has failed. That was essential to make the shutdown worthwhile.

[cally]

9. Still within margin of error so not sure there was a decline

Needs to be replicated by other polls and over time

[Doodley]

10. His approval on healthcare should have gone down significantly, if the reason for the shutdown was well communicated.

[IbogaProject]

36. No we can't read anything into a few percent varation month to month

There are natural variations from sampling vagarities, so they got a few more GOP fans this month, slight shifts in this score are meaningless. A longterm trend up or down has some value, but these are more for politicans to craft messages than for it to be a measure like GDP, Unemployment or Inflation.

2. But they'll still vote for him.

And they'll still vote for anyone with an R next to their name. How bad do things have to get before people get it? Republicans are bad for us!

[W_HAMILTON]

4. His voters do not matter. They are a minority.

It has always depended on whether OUR voters turned out to vote.

And nothing motivates our voters like voting in elections when Trump is in office.

[popsdenver]

31. Actually what matters

according to Hitler........ was not the actual voting, but WHO COUNTS THE VOTES.......

I am sure that Putin would be happy to share how he works the voting in Russia, and share his techniques, if He and Musk haven't already done that prior to the 2024 election, or even prior to the 2016 election......

[W_HAMILTON]

3. That's George Bush "back wash" levels.

[Cha]

5. "Unhappy" is an Understatement in

my Family and it will be More So in America down the road apiece.

TY for the latest, apple

[J_William_Ryan]

6. And many of those who now disapprove of Trump voted for Trump.

The stupidity of voting for Trump; the stupidity of the American voter.

The voter: democracy’s greatest flaw.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

8. They may disapprove

But they'll still support him. It's like when you don't approve of what your child did, but you still love them. Trump is family to a lot of these people.

13. Egads

They're ugly inside and out. Sorry about the pic. Hope you already ate breakfast a while ago.

15. I didn't deserve that

[wolfie001]

17. We're tough! We can handle it!

After a shot of whiskey or 2. Cheers

[BeerBarrelPolka]

18. And Lysol

Seriously, thanks for the laugh. I needed it!

[travelingthrulife]

14. It's like a sports team. My team no matter how lousy they are.

Sports indoctrination is bad here. I have nothing against sports but millions of Americans can't think past it.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

16. Yeah I agree

I'm used to my teams losing lol

[CTyankee]

20. this is my biggest frustration. I want to scream "OH NOW YOU COMPLAIN? YOU VOTED FOR THIS CRIMINAL!!!"

I am getting downright unpleasant with these people!

[SunSeeker]

7. It appears most of that slide was loss of support among Republicans.

While Democrats continue to absolutely despise him as always, Republican approval of him slid from 81% in March to 68% in November. That is significant. I can't remember a time when his approval among Republicans was that low.

11. Kick

[wolfie001]

12. Kornacki was just on CNN with his boards and the numbers were much closer to 50-50

He's a corporate guy regularly in contact with millionaires and billionaires obviously. Just like that "news" lady from the NYTS Maggie Haberman. Always giving the far RW weirdos as much room as possible. Sane-washing traitors to the Republic.

[Wiz Imp]

27. What BS from Kornacki

Emerson (which has had Trump fluffing poll results all year) had Trump at 47-47 on 10/13-14. Three weeks later (11/3-4) he had dropped to -8 (41-49)

I&I/TIPP (another Trump fluffer) had Trump at -3 on 9/30-10/2 (43-46). 1 Month later (10/28-31) he was at -11 (40-51)

BTW, DO NOT USE Real Clear Polling for polling information. Checking it today, some of the numbers they are showing on their aggregate page are FAKE.

For example: for a recent Big Data Poll, RCP shows Trump at +3, when in reality, that poll had him at -6.

Besides that, they are totally ignoring all the recent polls which show Trump way underwater. AP-NORC (-26), IPSOS (-18), Navigator Research (-18), CNN/SSRS (-22). RCP doesn't list any of them. DO NOT TRUST RCP!

19. Growing? I was never happy with Trump.

[mdbl]

21. How depressing that 33% still approve of this buffoon

They must be real morons.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. 30% Is The Floor

25% are in the cult. Another 5% only care about tax cuts.
I don't see him falling below 30%.

[DFW]

22. We must be the stupidest country in the world, then.

Just about all other countries on the planet have been thoroughly disgusted with him for many months now.

[Wiz Imp]

29. He was at a net 34% approval across 24 countries surveyed by Pew earlier this year

https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/06/11/confidence-in-trump/

He was especially loathed in Europe and South America, but he is thought of positively in a few countries.

-Ratings of Trump are especially negative in Mexico (where 91% have little or no confidence in Trump’s ability to do the right thing regarding world affairs), Sweden (85%), Germany (81%), Spain (80%) and Turkey (80%).

-Majorities in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey have no confidence at all in Trump.

-In contrast, confidence in Trump is higher in Nigeria (where 79% have some or a lot of confidence), Israel (69%), Kenya (64%), Hungary (53%) and India (52%). But in no country does a majority have a lot of confidence in the U.S. president.

23. Yup, but damn, he could make a day one of the best days I've ever had

in my life time.

[maxsolomon]

24. This American can't really grow more unhappy with that POS.

What's beyond 100%?

[Totally Tunsie]

38. Based upon trumpmath where he promises 1000% reduction in drug prices,

your possibilities could go to Infinity.

[twodogsbarking]

25. Stock market not warm today, but fuzzy. Taking gains from the masses to a few. Rinse, repeat.

[CanonRay]

26. I think 30% is his absolute rock bottom

[Xipe Totec]

28. 30% is 35% too many. nt

[uponit7771]

37. Around 25% they'll call for impeachment

[popsdenver]

30. Does anyone truthfully think

that Trump, the Republican Party, Republican Senate, Republican House, Republican Supreme Court, 2025, Steve Miller, Russell Vought give a shit????

[DFW]

32. There, as the Bard would say, lies the rub.

The answer is “not in the slightest.”

[popsdenver]

34. Good one DFW NC

[Initech]

35. Just wait until the "Department Of War" starts declaring war on Venezeula.

You'll see his approval rating drop faster than a boulder off the Grand Canyon.
