President Trump is moving toward his goal of passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, his primary legislative agenda of tax cuts, spending cuts, and more, through Congress by July 4. However, as the U.S. Senate debates its version of the bill, it appears that its primary components are very unpopular.
CNN data guru Harry Enten, in an appearance on the network Monday, found that the approval ratings for the legislative package are underwater by double digits in several different polls. Per The Daily Beast, the polls from The Washington Post, Pew Research Centre, Fox News, Quinnipiac University, and the Kaiser Family Foundation are, respectively, -19, -20, -21, -26, and -29 percent.

“You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to know that when the net favorable rating of your bill is somewhere between -19 and -29 points, that is not a positive bill as viewed by the American public,” Enten said on CNN. “The American public, at this particular point, hates, hates, HATES the ‘Big Beautiful Bill.'”

Also on CNN, Daniel Dale provided a fact check of claims Trump has made about what’s in the bill and what it would do. Some of those claims, Dale said, “have been wildly, categorically inaccurate,” including about Medicaid being “left alone.”
President Trump is using repeated dishonesty to sell his big domestic policy bill – falsely saying it’ll leave Medicaid “the same” (it makes big changes and cuts), end tax on Social Security (it doesn’t), and prevent a 68% tax hike (fiction).

The latest Fox News poll found that just 38 percent of respondents support the “Big Beautiful Bill,” while 59 percent oppose it. In addition, “about half think the bill would hurt their family (49%), while one quarter think it would help (23%), and another quarter don’t think it would make a difference (26%).”

When it comes to Trump’s overall approval rating, according to RealClearPolling’s average, Trump now has an average approval rating of 46.4 percent and a disapproval rating of 50.4 percent, resulting in a spread of -4. Trump has been consistently underwater on average since early March, just weeks after he returned to office. Although his rating has been worse at times, the spread has reached as low as -7 points during the tariff chaos of April.
