President Donald Trump shared a post on his Truth Social account deeming several polls reporting his historically low approval ratings as "fake news."

"Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS," Trump wrote. "The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are. These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to fight to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Trump's approval rating is reported to be hovering between 39% and 45% in three different surveys, all of which are significantly lower than every other president elected since 1953. The president is reported to have a 39% approval in the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll; a 41% approval rating in the latest CNN/SSRS poll; and a 45% approval rating in the latest NBC News Stay Tuned Poll.

All three polls show a significant decline from the high favorability ratings Trump had when he took office in January, with many claiming to have lost confidence in his ability to handle the economy, a key focus during his re-election campaign in 2024. Trump's handling of the economy is down to an all-time low 39%, which he had previously hit during his first term and again last month, while only about 52% of respondents are confident in his ability to deal with the economy, a decrease of 13 points since December, according to the latest CNN/SSRS poll.

An estimated 72% of respondents in the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll said they believed it was "very" or "somewhat" likely that Trump's policies would lead to a short-term economic recession. The majority of respondents in the NBC News poll said they disapproved of the president's handling of trade and tariffs (61%) and inflation and cost of living (60%). during his first 100 days in office.
