| Boilerpipe Text | President
Donald Trump
's approval rating has taken a plunge, according to new polling.
The
latest J.L. Partners/
Daily
Mail
poll
, conducted on June 6 among 1,006 registered voters, found that 47 percent of respondents approve of the president's job performance, while 53 percent disapprove, giving him a net approval rating of -6 points.
That is down from an approval rating of 50 percent in May. However, it is still up from the 45 percent approval rating recorded in the J.L. Partners/
Daily Mail
April poll, a second-term low.
Both polls had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
The latest YouGov/
Economist
poll
, conducted between June 6 and 9 among 1,533 adults, shows Trump's approval rating at 43 percent, down from 45 percent the previous week, while his disapproval rating stands at 52 percent, up from 49 percent the week before. The most recent poll had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
Why It Matters
Recent surveys have shown Trump's approval rating creeping back up after a period of decline following the introduction of his "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, which led to a decline in the stock market.
However, some polls published in recent days reveal a more complex picture of Trump's support.

What To Know
While some polls show Trump's approval rating declining, they stand apart from the general trend recently, which has seen his approval rating creep back up in recent weeks after the fallout from his "Liberation Day" tariffs.
That includes the most recent ActiVote poll, which showed that Trump's approval rating stands at 46 percent, while 50 percent disapprove.
That is up from last month, when 45 percent approved and 51 percent disapproved, and breaks a trend that had seen Trump's approval ratings in the poll decline each month since January.
The numbers from May are also significantly better than Trump's average over the 48 months of his first presidency (41 percent), surpassing former President
Joe Biden
's average approval rating for his full term (41 percent) and his approval rating for his final year (40 percent).
The ActiVote poll carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
In the latest YouGov/
Economist
poll, Trump's approval rating increased by 1 point to 45 percent, while his disapproval rating decreased by 3 points to 49 percent.
Meanwhile, in the Trafalgar Group's latest poll, conducted May 30 to June 1, 54 percent of voters approved, while 46 percent disapprovedāa net approval rating of +8. That was up from a month ago, when a survey conducted by pollsters with Insider Advantage between April 30 and May 1 put Trump's approval rating at 46 percent, while 44 percent disapproved.
Newsweek's
poll tracker also shows Trump's approval rating trending upward. Currently, an average of 48 percent approve of Trump's job performance, while 50 percent disapprove.
Last week, Trump's approval rating stood at 47 percent, with 49 percent disapproving. A month ago, according to the tracker, the president's approval rating stood at 44 percent, while his disapproval rate was firmly in the 50s.
However, for the most part, Trump's approval and disapproval ratings appear stable or slightly improving, suggesting that while he's not gaining significant new support, he's also not losing ground.

What Happens Next
As the effects of his economic, immigration and other major policies come into sharper relief, Trump's approval rating is likely to fluctuate. |

| Readable Markdown | President [Donald Trump](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump)'s approval rating has taken a plunge, according to new polling.
The [latest J.L. Partners/*Daily* *Mail* poll](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14794205/donald-trump-elon-musk-approval-poll.html), conducted on June 6 among 1,006 registered voters, found that 47 percent of respondents approve of the president's job performance, while 53 percent disapprove, giving him a net approval rating of -6 points.
That is down from an approval rating of 50 percent in May. However, it is still up from the 45 percent approval rating recorded in the J.L. Partners/*Daily Mail* April poll, a second-term low.
Both polls had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
The latest YouGov/*Economist* poll, conducted between June 6 and 9 among 1,533 adults, shows Trump's approval rating at 43 percent, down from 45 percent the previous week, while his disapproval rating stands at 52 percent, up from 49 percent the week before. The most recent poll had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
## Why It Matters
Recent surveys have shown Trump's approval rating creeping back up after a period of decline following the introduction of his "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, which led to a decline in the stock market.
However, some polls published in recent days reveal a more complex picture of Trump's support.

## What To Know
While some polls show Trump's approval rating declining, they stand apart from the general trend recently, which has seen his approval rating creep back up in recent weeks after the fallout from his "Liberation Day" tariffs.
That includes the most recent ActiVote poll, which showed that Trump's approval rating stands at 46 percent, while 50 percent disapprove.
That is up from last month, when 45 percent approved and 51 percent disapproved, and breaks a trend that had seen Trump's approval ratings in the poll decline each month since January.
The numbers from May are also significantly better than Trump's average over the 48 months of his first presidency (41 percent), surpassing former President [Joe Biden](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/joe-biden)'s average approval rating for his full term (41 percent) and his approval rating for his final year (40 percent).
The ActiVote poll carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
In the latest YouGov/*Economist* poll, Trump's approval rating increased by 1 point to 45 percent, while his disapproval rating decreased by 3 points to 49 percent.
Meanwhile, in the Trafalgar Group's latest poll, conducted May 30 to June 1, 54 percent of voters approved, while 46 percent disapprovedāa net approval rating of +8. That was up from a month ago, when a survey conducted by pollsters with Insider Advantage between April 30 and May 1 put Trump's approval rating at 46 percent, while 44 percent disapproved.
*Newsweek's* poll tracker also shows Trump's approval rating trending upward. Currently, an average of 48 percent approve of Trump's job performance, while 50 percent disapprove.
Last week, Trump's approval rating stood at 47 percent, with 49 percent disapproving. A month ago, according to the tracker, the president's approval rating stood at 44 percent, while his disapproval rate was firmly in the 50s.
However, for the most part, Trump's approval and disapproval ratings appear stable or slightly improving, suggesting that while he's not gaining significant new support, he's also not losing ground.
