A New York Times/Siena College poll found Trump’s disapproval rating at 59 percent, the highest recorded in that survey.

The poll was conducted from May 11 to May 15, 2026, among 1,507 registered voters using live telephone interviews in English and Spanish, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

A Fox News poll conducted from May 15 to May 18, 2026, shows a similar pattern.

That survey, carried out by Beacon Research, a Democratic-aligned firm, and Shaw & Company Research, a Republican-aligned firm, interviewed 1,002 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file.

Respondents completed the survey via live phone interviews on landlines (109) and cellphones (635) or online after receiving a text (258). It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In that poll, 61 percent disapproved of Trump’s performance, including 48 percent who said they strongly disapprove, while 39 percent approved overall.

I've been watching left leaning people debate MAGA on calls and it's wild. So many MAGA refuse to admit they're wrong on a point and move to the next talking point. There's just so much projection.

Bet on it to happen July 4, you know, all extra patriotic and shit to pump the base.

Humorously, when he makes Venezuela and Cuba new US states, they can all come over legally, and that’s exactly what his base hates haha. Leopards will dine!

There will never be another election again, I don’t think they’re worried about seats
