Milestone negative ratings span overall approval, key issues and core voter groups, signalling a broad erosion of support.

A New York Times/Siena College poll found Trump’s disapproval rating at 59 percent, the highest recorded in that survey.

The poll was conducted from May 11 to May 15, 2026, among 1,507 registered voters using live telephone interviews in English and Spanish, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

A Fox News poll conducted from May 15 to May 18, 2026, shows a similar pattern.

That survey, carried out by Beacon Research, a Democratic-aligned firm, and Shaw & Company Research, a Republican-aligned firm, interviewed 1,002 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file.

Respondents completed the survey via live phone interviews on landlines (109) and cellphones (635) or online after receiving a text (258). It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In that poll, 61 percent disapproved of Trump’s performance, including 48 percent who said they strongly disapprove, while 39 percent approved overall.
