A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey found wide variation in approval of President Donald Trump’s handling of a variety of issues. Overall, 46% approve of the job he is doing as president, and 54% disapprove. This is unchanged from the Marquette national poll in March.
Across seven specific issues, approval of the president’s job performance ranges from a high of 56% on border security to a low of 34% on inflation and the cost of living. Net approval — which subtracts the percent disapproving from the percent approving — ranges from 12 percentage points to -32 percentage points.
After border security, the second highest approval is for Trump’s handling of immigration, with a net approval of 0, resulting from a 50% to 50% split. His overall approval is -8, followed, with lower net negative results, by opinion on foreign policy, the economy and handling of the Russia-Ukraine war. Net approval of Trump’s handling of tariffs is -26, followed by inflation and cost of living at -32.
