Donald Trump's Approval Rating Hits Second-Term Low in Latest NBC Poll
President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a new low, according to recent NBC News polling, with 39% of all US adults approving of his performance. The survey, conducted ahead of the November midterm elections, marks Trump's lowest approval rating in an NBC News poll since his first term.
The president's approval rating among rural Americans has also declined, hitting 50% in June, down from 60% in February 2025. This drop in support is attributed to disapproval over his handling of the US economy and cost of living.
The NBC poll found that 49% of registered voters want to see Democrats take control of Congress in the midterms, while 44% prefer Republican control. Although GOP support has decreased since March, with 82% of Republicans now approving of Trump's performance, the party's voters remain largely loyal to the president.
The survey's findings come amid economic uncertainty and slim Republican majorities in both the House and Senate. Republican pollster Bill McInturff described the numbers as "rocky" for Republicans, but not catastrophic. Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt noted that Democrats are still well-positioned to win seats despite redistricting. The NBC poll surveyed 2,400 registered voters from May 29 to June 7, with a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.
