President Donald Trump's approval rating is currently at the lowest its ever been among polls published by FOX News.

Trump's overall job performance was reported to be 44% in the latest survey published on Wednesday (April 23), which is one point less than the low point of his first of two non-consecutive presidential terms, as well as five points lower than his rating in March. Additionally, FOX News acknowledged that Trump's approval rating at the 100-day mark was significantly lower than former President Joe Biden at 54% in 2021, former President Barack Obama at 62% in 2009 and former President George W. Bush at 63% in 2001.

Trump fired back in a Truth Social post directed at FOX News, News Corp media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal shared on Thursday (April 24).

"Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so. This 'pollster' has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!" Trump wrote.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll released this week also reported that Trump's handling of the economy was the lowest of any point in his two non-consecutive presidential terms at 37%. The president's lowest economic approval rating in the Reuters/Ipsos poll during his first administration was 44%, which was reported in August, October and November 2017.

Trump's overall approval rating in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll was also the lowest of his two terms. The six-day survey showed that just 42% of voters approved of Trump's job performance during his second term, a decrease from the 43% reported in the poll conducted three weeks prior, as well as the 47% on the day of his January 20 inauguration.

Additionally, the poll showed that 83% of adult respondents said the president should obey court orders he disagrees with as his administration could face criminal contempt charges for violating a federal judge's order of Venezuelan nations he alleged were gang who had no chance of challenging their deportations. Trump's approval rating for the first-quarter of his second term is higher than the same period in his first term, but is still lower than most presidents elected since 1952, according to a recent poll conducted by Gallup.

The survey showed that Trump's average job approval rating for the first-quarter of 2025 was 45%, which is higher than his 41% average in 2017, but lower than nine other presidents elected between 1952 and 2020, as well as the 59% average of all presidents. Last week, CNN data guru Harry Enten reported that Trump had "broken his own record" with his lowest net approval rating among independent voters during any point of his two non-consecutive presidential terms.

"Trump is 'completely underwater' & has broken his own record with the lowest net approval at this point among independents (-22 pts). His economic net approval with indies at this pt is so low (-29 pts) it has 'no historical analogy.' Most indies (66%) oppose the new tariffs," Enten wrote on his X account, along with a clip of himself explaining the numbers during a live CNN broadcast.
