Trump's Economic Approval Falls to 32% as Immigration Holds at 39%

Summary
32% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's handling of the economy, down from 40% at the start of his second term and below his first-term low of 40%.
About 7 in 10 Americans rate the economy as poor, and even Republican approval on the issue slipped to 69% from 78% as higher prices keep squeezing households.
Immigration remains Trump's relatively stronger issue: 39% approve overall, down from 49%, while about 8 in 10 Republicans still back his approach despite recent ICE-related deaths and crackdowns.
Roughly half of Americans say Trump has gone too far on deportations or restricting legal immigration, and about half disapprove of ICE's enforcement tactics.
The poll adds to broader signs of weakening support for Trump, whose overall approval and standing on Iran have also recently deteriorated.
