Trump Approval Hits New Low Amid Controversial Policy Shift
WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to a recent Gallup poll, President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 38 percent, marking a new low amid a contentious policy shift on immigration enforcement. The survey, conducted March 1-8, 2025, with a margin of error of ±3 percent, indicates a 5 percent decline from last month, driven by dissent among independent voters and moderate Republicans. The White House attributes the decline to "media misrepresentation" of its new border security measures, which have ignited protests in 12 states. Key findings show approval among Republicans down to 85 percent, while only 18 percent of independents support the president, signaling potential challenges for the 2026 midterm elections.
