Is Trump The Worst President In History? What Did Poll Say?

United States, president, Donald Trump is one of the most controversial and divisive politicians in the world. He has completed a year in the oval Office and let us have a look at the kind of reactions that he could generate from the masses.

A poll that was held by Yahoo and was released this week shows a striking number of Americans rating President Donald Trump unfavorably, with 40 % calling him the worst president in U.S. history and another 12 % saying he is worse than average compared to all presidents.

Only 12 % ranked him the best while the rest placed him somewhere in the middle. The poll also found Trump’s overall approval at about 38 %, one of the lowest figures since he returned to office, and disapproval at 58 %, giving him a large negative gap. Among independent voters, more than half see Travis as performing worse than former President Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, an Economist poll released at almost the same time reveals that a large share of U.S. adults now describe Trump as dangerous, corrupt, cruel, and racist. Around half of those surveyed used these labels, reflecting deep concern about his leadership style and personal conduct.

Other recent polls show Trump’s immigration policy approval hitting new lows, with only about 38 % supporting his approach, a drop from earlier figures in 2025. Disapproval there has grown amid heated deportation efforts and public backlash.

Internationally, a POLITICO poll in Canada found that nearly half of Canadians now see the U.S. under Trump as a greater global threat than Russia, underscoring growing concerns about U.S. foreign policy and leadership.

Overall, the recent polls highlight a notable shift in U.S. public opinion, with many Americans expressing serious doubts about Trump’s presidency and how history will judge his time in office.
