Donald Trump popularity survey: Donald Trump is now less popular than ex-US President Joe Biden? Poll Survey reveals shocking results

U.S. voters have changed their president, but they don’t feel better about Donald Trump’s economy, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs poll. The poll found that 36 percent of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling the economy; That figure has remained steady this year after Trump imposed tariffs that caused widespread economic uncertainty. 71 percent of Republicans are positive about his economic leadership. But that approval rating within Trump’s own party is relatively low, which could pose problems for Republicans in next month’s gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia and perhaps even in the 2026 midterm elections. At about the same point in Biden’s term, an October 2021 AP-NORC poll found that 41 percent of U.S. adults approved of his handling of the economy, including nearly 73 percent of Democrats. That overall figure was slightly higher than Trump’s, primarily due to independents. While 29 percent approved of how Biden is handling the economy, there were 18 percent who now support Trump’s approach.

Americans are increasingly concerned about their ability to find a good job under President Donald Trump, an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs poll finds; This is a potential warning sign for Republicans as promised economic growth gives way to hiring freezes and high inflation.

According to the survey, high prices for food, housing and healthcare continue to be a source of fear for many households, while rising electricity bills and gas prices at the pump are also sources of concern.
About 47 percent of U.S. adults are “not very confident” or “not at all confident” that they can find a good job if they want it; When this question was last asked in October 2023, this rate was 37 percent.

The job market has been significantly stronger for hiring during Biden’s presidency as the U.S. struggles to recover from pandemic-related lockdowns. But hiring slowed sharply under Trump, and monthly job growth fell to an average of less than 27,000 after April’s tariff announcements.

AP-NORC’s survey of 1,289 adults was conducted Oct. 9-13 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Overall, the margin of sampling error for adults is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
