WASHINGTON: American public support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policy has fallen to its lowest level since his return to the White House, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows. The survey suggests he is also losing ground among male voters, a group that strongly supported him in the 2024 election.
Just 38% of respondents in the four-day poll, which ended Monday, said Trump was doing a good job on immigration, a top issue for the administration.
The rating was down from 39% in January Reuters/Ipsos and up to 50% in the months following Trump’s return 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 returning to power in January 2025.
Masked agents in tactical gear are now commonplace in the United States, and immigration officials have clashed violently with American protesters and activists.
The last Reuters/An Ipsos poll shows that support for Trump’s handling of immigration has declined significantly among men in recent weeks compared to late last year.
Male voters played an outsized 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 shows that 41% of men give him a positive opinion on this issue. Among women, Trump’s support for immigration has fallen from about 40% through most of 2025 to 35% according to the latest survey.
In a rare setback for Trump, his administration said last week that it had agreed to end its hotly protested wave of 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 Jan. 23-25.
The latest poll, conducted online and nationally, gathered responses from 1,117 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
