Trump just became the most unpopular president in poll’s history as term hits 500 days
He is deeply underwater on economic issues.

As of Thursday, President Donald Trump has officially hit a somber milestone: the 500th day of his second term. According to the latest data from 205focus.com, this stretch has been marked by a record-breaking slide in public favor.
A Historic Low in Approval
New data from The Economist’s Trump Approval Tracker reveals that no president has faced such low numbers since the outlet began tracking this data in 2009. Trump’s net approval rating currently sits at -25, placing him deeper underwater than any of his predecessors in the 17-year history of the survey.
The breakdown of the numbers is stark: 35% of respondents approve of the president's performance, while 60% disapprove. Another 5% of those polled remain unsure.
Economic Struggles Take a Toll
While the economy was a primary driver in his return to the White House, it is now the very issue dragging down his popularity. Trump’s net approval rating regarding inflation and consumer prices has cratered to -43, the lowest point of his second term. Meanwhile, his performance on jobs and the economy sits at -20, mirroring his -20 net approval on foreign policy.
State-by-State Sentiment
The data, gathered in partnership with YouGov, illustrates a challenging national map for the administration. Currently, the president holds a positive net approval rating in only four states: Wyoming (+18), Idaho (+14), West Virginia (+10), and North Dakota (+1).
Closer to home, the latest projections indicate that President Trump’s net approval rating in Alabama currently stands at -8.
