WASHINGTON – The majority of Americans say they’re disapproving Donald Trump’s second term as immigration remains his strongest policy issue.
The new NBC News Decision Desk Poll, carried out with Surveymonkey, found that 45% of Americans approved the way Trump handles his job as president, and 55% disapproved. These figures remain the same since the NBC News survey in April.
Trump’s ratings differ according to party policy. Of Republicans, 89% have approved a second term for the president, compared to 8% of Democrats and 35% of independents. Approximately 12% of Republicans said they disapproved the president’s job, compared to 92% of Democrats and 65% of independents.
Republicans were less likely to report strong support for the presidential administration than they did in April. Much of that shift came from respondents who said they equate it with the president’s maga.
The survey also found that there is a so-called strength gap between Republicans and Democrats about how they feel about the Trump administration’s actions. Pollers asked respondents to choose one emotion from the list: excitement, happiness, satisfaction, neutrality, dissatisfaction, anger, rage.
51% of Democrats agreed to feel “furious” about the Trump administration, compared to 23% of Republicans who agreed.
Respondents to the GOP Survey have shifted 7% points from feeling “exciting” about Trump from previous surveys. 25% of Republicans felt excited about Trump’s actions in the latest poll, compared to 32% who said the same thing in April.
Still, only one percent of Republicans said they were furious at Trump’s actions.
The latest survey was conducted among 19,410 adults nationwide from May 30th to June 10th. There is an error of either positive or negative 2.1 percentage points.
Trump is leading the issue of immigration
Trump has focused on the president on his advances in his immigration agenda, including deporting thousands of immigrants from Colombia, Mexico and El Salvador. During his 2024 campaign, a drastic deportation became his signature promise to voters.
Trump is currently leading the issue. Surveys showed that 51% of Americans approved Trump’s border security and immigration handling, while 49% disapprove.
The investigation comes as Trump dispatched the National Guard to quell the protest against the wishes of California Democrat Gavin Newsom. Additional protests against the Trump administration’s immigration actions have occurred nationwide.
In the economy, around 45% of Americans reported that “their personal financial situation” was roughly the same as last year, while 34% said it had worsened. About 21% said their finances had improved over the last year. This is the result of no significant changes from NBC’s April survey.
