Since taking power in January 2025, the second Trump administration has been no stranger to political controversy. Some of the most notable incidents include implementing across-the-board tariffs, overseeing the largest stock market crash since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, slashing U.S. foreign aid, conducting mass federal layoffs, accepting a luxury jet from the Qatari government as a replacement for Air Force One, and signing a bill projected to add as much as $3.9 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years.

These and other occurrences have received widespread media coverage and have likely contributed to the president’s waning popularity. According to Gallup survey data, Trump’s job approval rating now stands at 40%, down from 47% at the outset of his second term. Historical Gallup data also shows that Trump is now one of the least popular presidents in modern history. Trump’s average approval rating of 43% is well below the 52% average among U.S. presidents since 1938, according to Gallup.

Opinions of Trump’s handling of the presidency are not uniform across the general population, and Trump’s approval numbers have suffered far more with certain demographic groups than with others.

Using data from public opinion research company Morning Consult, 24/7 Wall St. identified the Americans who are souring on the Trump administration. We reviewed polling results among multiple demographic groups and subgroups—including gender, race, religion, educational attainment, employment status and sector, income, age, voting history, and political ideology and affiliation, among others—and ranked them based on the change in their approval rating of the job Trump is doing as president since the start of his second term. The baseline survey was conducted between Jan. 31 and Feb. 3, 2025, and the latest survey was conducted between July 3 and July 6, 2025. We also calculated recent changes in Trump’s approval ratings by comparing his current numbers to those collected between June 27 and June 29, 2025.

Since the early days of the new administration, Trump’s approval rating has fallen in all but two of the 55 demographic groups considered for this story. For each of the 37 demographic groups on this list, Trump’s approval rating has dropped by at least 3 percentage points—and in a few cases, by more than 10 percentage points.

For several of the groups on this list—such as registered Democrats, ideological moderates, and students—the Trump administration has never been especially popular. Still, some of the largest declines in Trump’s approval ratings have been reported among groups that make up his base, including Christians, ideological conservatives, registered Republicans, and, most directly, Americans who voted for Trump in 2024. (Here is a look at the Americans who are most likely to approve of the Trump administration so far.)

These are the Americans who are souring on the Trump administration.

Editor’s note: This post was updated on July 11, 2025, using new polling data from Morning Consult.
