Trump's Approval Rating Hits Historic Lows After January 6 Capitol Riot and Ongoing Controversy
President Donald Trump's average approval rating has fallen to a historic low of 35%, making him more unpopular than at any point during his presidency, including after the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. This marks a significant shift from his peak popularity in late 2017.
President Donald Trump's average approval rating has dropped to a historically low 35%, surpassing previous lows even after the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, according to CNN Poll of Polls data, marking one of the most unpopular presidencies in U.S. history. This decline is attributed to widespread disapproval on various issues and Trump's handling of multiple controversies. The CNN poll's findings suggest that a significant portion of the American public has lost trust in the president's leadership. As a result, Trump's approval rating has reached an unprecedented low point.
