President Trump is facing a dramatic drop in his approval, according to five new polls released Sunday — including one that shows he has the lowest ratings for a new presidential term since World War II.

Surveys from CBS, ABC and the Washington Post, NBC, CNN and the New York Times all show Trump’s standing in the public slipping significantly since he started announcing tariffs on all of America’s biggest trading partners.

Trump has tried to reassure the public that the tariff onslaught will lead to Americans paying lower income taxes and be a boon for manufacturing jobs.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump teased on Truth Social Sunday.

“Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA.”

Despite the dour polling news, the president is still pulling higher marks than Democrats in key areas and maintains support of nearly 90% among Republicans.

In one poll from Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos, Trump’s standing was the lowest of any president in the first 100 days of his term since 1945, with 39% saying they approve of his job performance while 55% disapprove.

For context, eight years ago, that poll pegged Trump with a 42% approval rating. Former President Joe Biden’s approval rating had generally remained above water until August, when it tanked following public backlash to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Other polls also show a downward trajectory. A CBS News/YouGov survey and a separate NBC News poll pegged Trump’s overall approval rating at 45%, while a New York Times/Siena College poll gauged it at 42%. CNN pegged Trump with a 41% approval rating — the lowest at the 100-day marker since at least former President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953.

Strikingly, 42% of Americans say they strongly disapprove of Trump’s job performance, NBC News found. Only 26% strongly approve.

The fresh batch of polling data on Trump’s approval rating puts him roughly in line with where he stood during his first term, which typically hovered around the low to mid-40s.

Usually, presidents enjoy something of a honeymoon phase when they first take office, before tapering off.

Trump generally enjoyed robust numbers from polling across the board around the time he was sworn into office in January. Near the end of January, his approval stood at roughly 50%, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate of polling.

But his approval rating has generally slipped at a faster rate than most of his predecessors heading into the 100-day mark, which is Tuesday.

Despite the unease, the vast majority of Trump’s backers do not appear to have buyer’s remorse.

Among Trump voters, only 6% regret backing him, while 94% believe it was the right move, the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found. During his first term, only 2% of that bloc had regrets at this point.

Pollsters largely attributed Trump’s tumble to public unease over his tariff announcements — a move something that has rattled markets.

His economic approval rating — 39% — is now only two points higher than Biden’s about a year ago, according to the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. Still, voters generally trust him to lead the country than congressional Democrats, who have a turgid 30% approval, per the poll.

Trump has acknowledged that his trade policies have made people “yippy,” and argued that they are necessary to revitalize American industry and usher in strong, long-term economic growth.

Still, polls suggest that the public is deeply skeptical about the president’s tariffs, with only 39% approving of his stewardship of trade policy, according to the NBC poll. 

CBS/YouGov found that support for tariffs has been on the decline, falling from 52% favoring that policy tool last November, compared to 41% favoring it now. 

Surveys routinely peg the economy as a top issue among voters. Throughout much of his first term and during the 2024 campaign cycle, Trump enjoyed high marks from voters on his economic policy. 

Now, about 48% of adults feel that Trump’s policies are making them worse off financially, compared to 19% who say better off, according to YouGov/CBS. NBC found that 34% of respondents feel that their finances are worse off today, compared to 22% who said better. 

One area where Trump is about breaking even is immigration, where he has a 49% approval rating according to NBC. CBS/YouGov found that 56% approve of his administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants. 

Trump is set to mark the 100-day mark of his second term with a celebratory rally in Macomb County, Michigan, on Tuesday.

The NBC poll sampled 19,682 adults between April 11-20 with a margin of error of 2.2 points. The CBS News/YouGov tested 2,356 adults with a margin of error of 2.4 points from April 23-25. The Washington Post/ABC/Ipsos poll was taken between April 18-22 among 2,464 adults with a margin of error of 2 points. The New York Times/Seina College survey assessed 913 registered voters from April 21 to 24 with a margin of error of 3.8 points. The CNN poll surveyed 1,678 adults between April 17-24 with a margin of error of 2.9 points.
