There’s bad news for President Donald Trump in the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
The new poll,
released Wednesday, showed that Trump received low approval ratings across a number of major issues, including immigration, the economy and the “big beautiful bill.” The poll found that just 38% of voters approved of how Trump is handling his job as president, while 54% said they disapproved.
Trump’s handling of immigration has typically been
one of his strongest points, but the latest poll shows that he could be losing support in that area. The poll found that 43% approved of how he is handling immigration while 54% disapproved.
When asked about deportations, 40% of voters approved of Trump’s handling of the issue while 56% disapproved.
The poll also found that Trump still received low approval ratings on the economy, which comes about two months after he announced
widespread tariffs on goods imported to the United States. He later backed down on the tariffs after the stock market plummeted as a result.
Just 40% of voters approved of his handling of the economy and just 38% approved of his handling of trade, according to the poll.
Trump has repeatedly touted his
“big beautiful bill” in Congress that includes massive tax breaks and cuts to Medicaid. However, Trump’s bill received little support from voters in the new poll, with the majority of respondents opposing cuts to the entitlement program.
Fifty-three percent of voters oppose the bill, with only 67% of Republicans supporting it, according to the poll. The poll also found 47% of voters believe funding for Medicaid should increase, 40% said it should stay the same and 10% said it should decrease.
“With Medicaid’s future as a healthcare safety net for millions suddenly uncertain, voters make it clear they want the 60-year-old program for those in need to be handled with care,” polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement.
The poll also showed poor support for how Trump is handling the Russia-Ukraine war, with just 34% saying they approved.
“As the Russia-Ukraine war grinds through its third year, Americans make it clear they have little appetite for the way the Trump administration is handling the situation,” Malloy said.
The poll
surveyed 1,265 registered voters from June 5-9 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
