An analysis of recent polling from the New York Times shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands at about 45 percent, a decline from close to 52 percent the week following his inauguration. His disapproval rating has also increased, putting the president underwater in net favorables.

A decline in approval polling is normal for newly-elected presidents, although Trump’s numbers appear to be dropping somewhat faster than is typical through his first hundred days. The beginning of his second term has been tumultuous: The president has signed a flurry of executive orders, carried out a series of controversial deportations to El Salvador’s prison system, and created turmoil in the markets with his “Liberation Day” tariff plan that he argues will help create a stronger American economy and diminish the threat posed by China.
