6-in-10 Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance, new poll says
USA TODAY
In a new poll released two days before Trump's highly anticipated address to Congress, 60%, said they disapprove of his performance.
Ahead of President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address of his second term, a new poll shows a majority of Americans disapprove of his job performance, especially on inflation, tariffs and foreign policy.
In a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released on Sunday, Feb. 22 − just two days before Trump's highly anticipated address to Congress − six in ten Americans, 60%, said they disapprove of the way he is handling his role. Of that number, 47% indicated a strong disapproval. Another 39% said they approve of the president's performance.
The pollster said the last time Trump’s disapproval touched 60% was shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The five-day poll was conducted among 2,589 U.S. adults from Feb. 12-17 and has a margin of error of ±2 percentage points.
