A recent AP-NORC poll indicates a significant drop in Republican approval of President Trump's economic performance, with only 16% believing he has greatly helped address the cost of living, down from 49% in 2024.
A recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reveals a notable decline in Republican support for President Donald Trump's economic policies. Only 16% of Republicans believe Trump has significantly addressed the cost of living, a sharp decrease from 49% in April 2024. Additionally, just over half of Republicans feel he has worked to increase job opportunities in his second term, down from 85% in 2024. Despite these economic concerns, Trump's overall job approval among Republicans remains high at approximately 80%. On immigration, about 80% of Republicans believe he has helped at least "a little" with border security, though his approval rating on this issue has dipped to 76% from 88% in March. The AP-NORC poll was conducted from January 8 to 11, 2026, among 1,203 adults, with a margin of error of ±3.9 percentage points.
