President Donald Trump‘s approval rating has reportedly dropped to its lowest number since he was accused of instigating the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to the latest Marist poll.
The poll, which surveyed 1,462 adults between January 27 and January 30, had Trump at a 39% approval rating, while 56% of respondents said they disapproved his job performance and 5% were unsure. The president’s approval rating has consistently been below 40% since November in the Marist poll, though other national polls vary.
Real Clear Polling, which has the Marist poll listed as its most recent survey included, has Trump at a -12.4% average net approval rating with a 42.4% approval and a 54.8% disapproval. Quinnipiac (39%), PPP (39%) Reuters/Ipsos (38%) and Pew Research (37%) are among the recent polls that have Trump under 40% while most others have him at less than 45%.
Famed polling expert Nate Silver said expects Trump’s approval rating to continue dropping in his latest Silver Bulletin blog published on Tuesday (February 3). Silver had Trump at an average net approval rating of -14.3%, which is slightly above his second term low of -15.0%, while the number of Americans who strongly disapprove of his job performance hit a new second term high of 45.7% on Monday (February 2), with only 24.2% saying they strongly approve his performance, according to Silver.
“How should we expect Trump’s approval rating to change over the next few weeks? Currently, most of the highest-weighted polls in our average include some data from after Alex Pretti’s killing on January 24, but went into the field a few days before the 24th (meaning not all respondents were aware of the killing when they took the poll). As the killing becomes fully baked into the polls, Trump’s numbers might decline further,” Silver wrote.
