A new NBC News Decision Desk Poll shows the majority of American adults think the country is on the wrong track, as the economy remains a top concern.
Donald Trump’s approval rating remains steadily underwater among adults as he nears the end of his first year back in the White House, and he has lost some ground among his “Make America Great Again” base, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.
Trump’s approval has inched down in 2025 amid concern about the economy, while Americans remain worried about inflation and costs after Trump’s campaign promises to ease those anxieties. Respondents’ concerns were apparent in everyday spending decisions like grocery shopping, holiday spending and more, the poll shows.
Other high-profile Trump decisions, including his handling of the controversy over the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files, have scored negatively with Americans. Trump initially opposed a congressional move to force the release of the files before relenting to pressure from both parties last month.
The fact that 42% would still approve is so mind blowingly depressing
He just makes me feel good about myself.
You’ll never get rid of those core cultists. They’re the ones who would rather suspend all belief and listen to a “strong” leader.
For all the talk of lions vs sheep a lot of those folks do, sure seems like they do a lot of following.
We simply don’t appreciate how suffocatingly propagandized most of the country is. It’s insane, and it’s 24/7 for people that don’t have niche communities. That’s most people.
The real number here is what percent of republicans approve. I’m clocking that at around a solid 90% to make that number.
Edit: ok, so 70% of “MAGA republicans” according to the article. But there’s “regular” republicans as well.
