Just over a year and a half after he re-entered the White House for a second term, more Americans than ever disapprove of President Donald Trump’s job performance.

According to a CNN/SSRS poll published on Wednesday, just 34 percent of Americans give Trump approving marks. Conversely, 66 percent say they disapprove of the way he’s handled his job as president.

Trump’s approval numbers are tied with the lowest he’s ever received, matching his 34 percent approval rating that was tracked by the same poll in the days following the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Meanwhile, his disapproval number is the highest it’s ever been, making his net approval rating of -32 points the widest margin seen in either of his terms as president.

Trump’s approval rating among Republicans has also slipped — while three-quarters of Republican voters (78 percent) still approve of his job performance, that number represents an all-time low for a voting bloc that is usually lock-step in support of him. Just 19 percent of Republican voters also say they’re “enthusiastic” about the remainder of his presidency.

The CNN/SSRS poll also asked respondents how they felt Trump was handling certain issues, finding a net-negative rating of his job performance on every topic presented.
