Public support for US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies has fallen to its lowest since his return to the White House, amid signs of declining popularity among American men on the issue, according to a new Reuters poll. Male voters played a crucial role in Trump’s 2024 election victory, and throughout 2025, his approval rating on immigration among men remained close to 50 percent. Among women, support on Trump’s immigration stance has fallen from around 40 percent for most of 2025 to 35 percent in the latest poll. Trump began his term with a 47 percent approval rating, but in recent weeks his popularity has settled at its lowest point during his presidency, with his performance approval rating at 38 percent in the latest poll, the same percentage recorded in a poll conducted from January 23-25. The latest poll, conducted online and nationwide, gathered responses from 1,117 American adults and had a margin of error of three percentage points.
