Trump’s approval ratings have fallen in recent weeks as he approaches the end of the first year of his second term.

A Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) polling average of surveys on Trump’s approval rating shows it sitting at 42 percent, while his disapproval rating currently sits at 55 percent. That’s lower than roughly a month ago, when the average had his approval rating at close to 46 percent and his disapproval rating at around 51 percent.

While Trump said in a recent Truth Social post last weekend that he had received “THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY ‘POLITICAL CAREER,’” experts are saying otherwise, attributing his lower numbers to frustration around high costs and some slippage over the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids the administration has carried out.

    42%, it’s not really falling as it is always around this low. Also: 42% still adore the guy. Also: I think it’s at least 43% too high.

      I see headlines like this at least two or three times a week, declaring MAGA is disintegrating and Trump is done for sure this time.
