President Trump's Approval Rating Hits Second-Term Low in NBC Poll Amid Midterm Uncertainty A new NBC News poll released on June 14 revealed that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has reached its lowest point during his second term, according to the survey. The findings, published on the anniversary of Trump’s 80th birthday, indicate his approval rating among all U.S. adults stands at 39%, five months before the pivotal November midterm elections. This marks the lowest approval rating for Trump in an NBC News poll since his first term, with similar results observed during the 2020 pandemic-era survey. The poll highlights a significant decline in support, particularly among rural voters, who were critical to Trump’s 2016 and 2024 electoral victories. According to a separate Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted from June 3-8, Trump’s approval rating among rural Americans dropped to 50%, compared to 60% in February 2025, shortly after he began his second term. The decline is attributed to growing disapproval of his economic policies and the rising cost of living, as noted by the Reuters/Ipsos data. The survey results coincide with broader economic challenges facing the nation, including surging gas and grocery prices, which have been exacerbated by the ongoing Iran war. Trump claimed on June 14 that the conflict may soon end, though the poll underscores continued public frustration with inflation and economic instability. The economic climate has further complicated the political landscape, as Republicans face slim majorities in both the House and Senate, with Democrats seeking to reclaim control of both chambers. The NBC poll, which surveyed 2,400 registered voters from May 29 to June 7, also revealed shifting voter preferences.#midterm_elections #iran_war #president_trump #nbc_news #reuters_ipsos
