Trump's net approval rating on economy and overall falls to lowest of his two terms, CNBC survey shows

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump's overall approval rating dropped to 40%, a 5-point decline from last quarter, with disapproval rising to 58%, marking his lowest net approval of -18 during his two terms, largely due to dissatisfaction with the Iran war, high gas prices, and economic concerns.
• Economic approval for Trump fell sharply to 39% approval and 60% disapproval, the lowest net economic rating in CNBC polls during his presidency, with significant declines among independents, Latinos, and non-MAGA Republicans.
• Support among MAGA Republicans remains strong, with 96% overall approval and 92% economic approval, but non-MAGA Republican support has dropped notably, signaling fractures within the party base.
• Public opinion on the Iran war is largely negative, with 48% feeling less safe due to the conflict and majorities opposing the war’s financial costs, gas price increases, and casualties, though a slight majority supports disrupting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
• Americans are taking economic actions in response to rising gas prices, such as cutting nonessential spending and traveling less, while approval of Trump’s handling of inflation, tariffs, and immigration policies also declined, except for modest support on securing the southern border.
