Jen Psaki

Trump's approval rating is down to 33 percent, with 67 percent disapproving, putting him underwater by 34 points according to a new AP poll.

In their words

"Trump's approval rating is down to just 33 percent. That's right. Only 33 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing, while a full 67 percent disapprove, which means he's underwater by 34 points."

All three specific numerical claims in Psaki's assertion are confirmed by the primary AP-NORC institutional release and corroborated by multiple independent outlets: 33% overall job approval , 67% disapproval , and a net approval of minus 34 points . The arithmetic is internally consistent (67 − 33 = 34). The poll was conducted April 16–20, 2026 and released April 21–22, making Psaki's 'new poll out from AP today' characterization accurate for her April 22 air date . One surface-level terminological nuance exists: the AP-NORC institutional summary page uses 'favorable opinion' language rather than 'job approval' for the 33% figure, but every major news outlet reporting on the poll — including the AP's own wire stories republished by PBS, The Hill, local stations, and Newsweek — frames 33% as overall job approval. This discrepancy does not constitute a material inaccuracy; the underlying survey item measures the same construct and all authoritative secondary sources consistently apply the job-approval framing. The Mediaite report notes the poll's total sample was 25,986 web and phone respondents, while the AP-NORC methodology note specifies 2,596 adults drawn from its probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel; this difference likely reflects total respondents vs. the weighted subsample, but does not affect the validity of the reported figures. No correction or retraction was found. Minimum source requirements for TRUE are met: multiple independent Tier 1 and Tier 4 sources confirm the core assertion with INDEPENDENT source independence.
