WASHINGTON: American public support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policies has fallen to its lowest point since he returned to the White House, a new Reuters/Ipsos shows the survey. The poll suggests he is also losing ground among male voters, a group that strongly backed him in the 2024 election.
Only 38% of respondents in the four-day survey, which closed Monday, said Trump was doing a good job on immigration, a priority issue for the administration.
The rating dropped from 39% in January. Reuters/Ipsos poll and up to 50% in the months shortly after Trump returned to power.
Trump campaigned ahead of his 2024 re-election on a promise to launch the biggest deportation campaign in decades and ordered sweeping immigration raids immediately after his return to office in January 2025.
Masked agents in tactical gear are now commonplace in the United States, and immigration agents have clashed violently with American protesters and activists.
the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that support for Trump’s handling of immigration has fallen significantly among men in recent weeks compared to the end of last year.
Male voters played a huge role in Trump’s 2024 election victory, and throughout 2025 his immigration approval rating among men remained near 50%. But the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 41% of men approve of the issue. Among women, support for Trump on immigration has fallen from around 40% for most of 2025 to 35% in the latest poll.
In a rare Trump retreat, his administration said last week that it had agreed to end its heavily protested surge in deportations in Minnesota, where immigration agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens.
Trump began his term with an overall approval rating of 47%, but in recent weeks his rating has remained at the lowest levels of his presidency, with 38% of respondents in the latest poll approving of his performance, unchanged from a Jan. 23-25 survey.
The latest survey, which was conducted online and nationwide, collected responses from 1,117 American adults and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
