This survey data is accurate. In the Economist/YouGov poll conducted between July 25-27, 2026, 34% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance, which ties his lowest level across both of his terms, while a record 62% disapprove. This puts his net approval rating at -28, which is also a record low. The poll surveyed 1,559 U.S. adult citizens.
Several major polls in 2026 — including Big Data Poll, Fox News, American Research Group, Economist/YouGov, and Pew Research Center — have all recorded new lows in approval and new highs in disapproval for Trump. In April, Pew Research Center also found Trump’s approval at 34%, calling it the lowest mark of his second term. That said, according to the Decision Desk HQ polling average, Trump’s approval rating stood at 41% as of Tuesday evening, with disapproval at 56.9%, showing there is some variation between different polling organizations depending on methodology.
Dissatisfaction also extends beyond general approval into specific issues like the Iran war. On the question of congressional elections, 46% of voters say they’d support the Democratic candidate versus 42% for the Republican candidate, giving Democrats a 4-point lead heading into the midterms.
The White House spokesperson Davis Ingle’s response that you mentioned also matches the quote found in news reports — he stated that the President has already made historic progress not only in America but around the world, and that this is just the beginning as his agenda continues taking effect.
All of this information checks out as accurate. Let me know if you’d like more detail on anything, such as the potential impact on the midterm elections or state-by-state breakdowns of opinion.
