WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� Many of the groups that helped elect Donald Trump as president again are deeply unhappy with his performance, according to an AP-NORC poll.
Trump鈥檚 return to the presidency was fueled by that built on his loyal base of supporters. Now that Trump has been in the White House for more than a year, the survey of more than 2,500 U.S. adults from finds that many key groups 鈥� including Hispanic adults, younger adults and men 鈥� are increasingly dissatisfied with his presidency.
The poll was conducted from April 16 through Monday, as and Americans .
It鈥檚 a particularly bad moment for Trump, a Republican whose as the Iran war drives prices higher. But show that discontent has been building among critical segments of the population over the past year.
Trump’s overall approval among Hispanic adults has fallen 16 percentage points since March 2025, and his support has declined by 9 percentage points among men.
And while Trump鈥檚 base is still largely behind him 鈥� most Republicans approve of his performance 鈥� there are signs that his second term may not be living up to their expectations.
Here鈥檚 what polling shows about Trump鈥檚 current status with four important groups:
Hispanic adults
Hispanic Americans have grown increasingly discontented with Trump over the past year.
About one-quarter of Hispanic adults approve of how he鈥檚 handling the presidency in the new poll, down from about 4 in 10 in March 2025.
That decline has been visible since late last year 鈥� suggesting that it鈥檚 not just the war in Iran or recent spikes in gas prices that are leaving this group unhappy.
Trump鈥檚 restrictive immigration approach may be playing a role. Only about one-quarter of Hispanics approve of his handling of immigration, down from 36% at the beginning of his term.
His immigration tactics appear to be particularly unpopular among younger Hispanics 鈥� in 2024. Only 18% of younger Hispanic adults approve of his performance on immigration, compared with 40% of Americans overall.
There is also broad discontent about the state of the U.S. economy among Hispanics. Only about one-quarter of Hispanic adults approve of how Trump is handling that issue, and about 2 in 10 say they approve of his approach to the cost of living. Few Hispanic adults, about 2 in 10, describe the nation鈥檚 economy as 鈥済ood.鈥�
Young adults
Trump鈥檚 overall approval with Americans under age 45 has slid over the past year, falling from 39% in March 2025 to 28% in the latest poll.
Younger women have a particularly dim view of Trump鈥檚 handling of the economy.
Only about 2 in 10 women under age 45 approve of how Trump is handling the economy, including only 7% of younger Hispanic women who approve of his economic approach. More young men, about 3 in 10, approve of him on this issue.
Trump鈥檚 struggles among young adults extend to other groups, too. Only about one-third of white adults under age 45 approve of his overall performance, compared with 45% of white adults age 45 or older.
A downtick among men
Trump made throughout his 2024 campaign, and backed Trump in the presidential election over Democrat Kamala Harris. In particular, he made , who were drawn by his vows to revitalize the economy.
Since he reentered office, though, American men have become slightly less likely to approve of his performance, declining from 47% at the start of his second term to 38% in the most recent poll.
There are signs that Black men, in particular, aren鈥檛 seeing Trump鈥檚 economic promises pan out. Black men are more likely than white or Hispanic men to disapprove of Trump鈥檚 approach to the presidency, as well as his approach to the economy, the cost of living and Iran. Only about 1 in 10 Black men say they approve of how Trump is handling the cost of living, and roughly 2 in 10 approve of how he鈥檚 handling the economy.
Hispanic men, too, have a relatively dim view of Trump鈥檚 overall performance. About 3 in 10 approve of how Trump is handling the presidency, regardless of their age. That support is stronger among white men, with about half approving of Trump.
While young Republicans are frustrated, MAGA still backs Trump
Trump has benefited from Republicans鈥� loyalty for years, but there are recent signs of frustration even within his base.
Roughly two-thirds of Republicans approve of Trump鈥檚 job performance. That is down slightly from 82% near the start of his second term and is generally in line with the GOP low point from his first term.
But only about half of Republicans overall approve of Trump鈥檚 approach to the cost of living, and a majority of Republicans under age 45 disapprove of him on that issue.
Trump is still buoyed by the support of his MAGA base, even as he faces on some of his recent actions in Iran.
About 9 in 10 MAGA Republicans 鈥� those who consider themselves supporters of the 鈥淢ake America Great Again鈥� movement 鈥� approve of Trump鈥檚 job performance, and a similar share approve of his handling of Iran.
It’s a good sign for Trump that his most robust supporters are still in his corner, but not all Republicans identify with MAGA. About half of Republicans, 54%, say they consider themselves MAGA supporters.
Among non-MAGA Republicans, Trump’s approval is much lower, at 44%.
