Trump's strength was the economy. New polling shows Americans aren't buying it anymore

"Once strengthened by economic issues, Trump's approval is now relatively low on the economy and he's leaning on his stronger issues of crime, border security, and immigration. Concerns about the economy and immigration helped propel him to the White House, but polling over the past year shows that Americans' faith in the Republican president's handling of the economy is low, particularly among independents, and his approval on immigration has fallen slightly."

"At the same time, Trump's overall approval has been fairly steady in AP-NORC polling since the beginning of his second term in January. This month, 39% of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, which is back in line with his average approval rating after a slight uptick in August. There was a similar pattern during his first White House term, when his approval stayed within a narrow range."

Approval of Trump's handling of the presidency has remained fairly steady at about 39% among U.S. adults this month. Support for his handling of the economy is relatively low, with particularly weak ratings from independents. Approval on immigration has fallen slightly. Border security has become a clear strength of his second term, with most U.S. adults approving his approach. Crime has also emerged as a strong issue, though the most recent AP-NORC poll showed signs of potential weakness on crime. Economic concerns and immigration helped elect him but no longer dominate his strengths.
