How Americans Are Feeling About Trump as 2025 Comes to a Close

(Time) President Donald Trump swept back into the White House in January in a flush of victory and with roughly half the country behind him after reclaiming the presidency last November. But as 2025 comes to an end, he’s facing backlash on a number of fronts—even from some in his own party—and his job approval is near the lowest it’s ever been across both of his terms.

Just 36 percent of Americans polled in a Gallup end of year survey approve of the President’s job performance. This includes 89 percent of Republicans, but only 3 percent of Democrats and 25 percent of Independents.

A separate Economist/YouGov poll paints a similar picture. Conducted Dec. 20–22, it found that 39 percent of Americans approve of the President’s job performance, while 57 percent disapprove—a net rating of negative 19.

The RealClearPolling average of national polls, which reflects multiple recent surveys, has him slightly less in the negatives but still double-digits underwater, showing his overall job approval at about 43 percent and disapproval around 53 percent as of late December 2025.

But can point to anything he has done to improve their lives.

They'll accept economic hardship for fulfilling racist fantasies
