Americans\u2019 views of President Donald Trump\u2019s job performance remain negative amid a flurry of activity from his administration<\/strong><\/a> on tariffs, immigration and public health, according to the latest NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.
Notably, the poll shows U.S. adults expressing strong, bipartisan support for vaccines as Trump\u2019s health and human services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has moved to limit certain shots. The poll was conducted before Democratic and some Republican senators sparred with Kennedy over vaccine access at a contentious congressional hearing last week.
Just over 4 in 10, 43%, approve of Trump\u2019s job performance in the survey, similar to his standing in June, while 57% disapprove. Trump\u2019s weakest ratings are on economic matters, with 39% approving of his handling of inflation and 41% approving of his handling of trade and tariffs.
Trump continues to get stronger grades on his handling of immigration. The poll asked slightly different wording to different halves of the respondents. Those asked whether they approve of Trump\u2019s handling of \u201cborder security and immigration\u201d give him a 47% approval rating on the issue.
But those asked whether they approve of Trump\u2019s handling of \u201cdeportations and border security\u201d amid his administration\u2019s aggressive deportation program give him a slightly lower 43% approval rating on the issue.
Politicians are moving quickly on redistricting efforts in several states to shape the 2026 midterm elections, but a large majority of U.S. adults \u2014 including those living in the critical states of Texas and California \u2014 oppose political parties\u2019 controlling the drawing of congressional maps<\/strong><\/a>.
The findings in the latest NBC News Decision Desk Poll <\/strong>powered by SurveyMonkey <\/strong>were gathered amid Texas Republicans\u2019 successful effort to redraw their congressional map for 2026 to boost GOP chances of keeping the U.S. House majority next year. That move, at Trump\u2019s urging, set off an arms race of mid-decade redistricting that now includes efforts by California Democrats and Republicans in other states.
Nationwide, over 8 in 10 (82%) prefer that nonpartisan commissions draw congressional districts rather than the party in power in each state.
Workers detained during a massive immigration raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia will be returned to their home country<\/strong><\/a> on a chartered flight, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung\u2019s office has said.
Federal and immigration agents arrested 475 people Thursday \u2014 most of them South Korean nationals \u2014 and executed a judicial search warrant as part of a criminal investigation into allegations of unlawful employment at the facility.
The raid came just 11 days after a summit between Trump and Lee at the White House, where South Korean firms pledged $150 billion in U.S. investments. It has strained ties with South Korea, a key U.S. ally and the world\u2019s 10th-largest economy.
\u201cNegotiations for the release of the detained workers have been concluded,\u201d a South Korean presidential spokesperson announced Sunday. \u201cOnce the procedures are complete, the chartered plane will depart to bring our citizens.\u201d
Trump\u2019s arrival at the U.S. Open men\u2019s singles final appeared to delay entry for spectators<\/strong><\/a>, resulting in long lines of frustrated fans and empty seats in sprawling Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz kicked off at 2:30 p.m. ET, half an hour later than scheduled, because of \u201csecurity measures in place\u201d and to \u201censure that fans have additional time to get to their seats,\u201d the U.S. Open wrote on X.
Trump walked around to wave to the crowd around 1:45 p.m. as the stadium was just about 10% full and was met with a wave of mixed cheers and boos. He then took his seat at the Rolex box at midcourt.
What he witnessed was a return to form for Alcaraz, who beat Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4<\/strong><\/a> for his second trophy at Flushing Meadows and his sixth overall at a major.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he is \u201cconfident\u201d the Supreme Court will overturn<\/strong><\/a> an appeals court decision that found Trump\u2019s far-reaching tariffs were unlawful.
He told \u201cMeet the Press\u201d moderator Kristen Welker that if the Supreme Court rules against Trump, \u201cthere are numerous other avenues that we can take\u201d to continue to impose tariffs.
But those other avenues, Bessent added, would \u201cdiminish President Trump\u2019s negotiating position.\u201d
Still, he largely defended Trump\u2019s agenda, telling Welker earlier in the program that tariffs are not a tax on the American people and pointing to other markers of success in the economy.
White House aides have been exploring backup plans on tariffs <\/strong><\/a>for many months, because some White House officials anticipated the possibility that courts would intervene to stop the tariffs, according to two people familiar with the internal discussions.
Meanwhile, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on the show that he was ruling out a presidential run in 2028<\/strong><\/a>.
Asked by Welker whether he had ruled out running, Moore confirmed that he had and later reiterated his interest in serving another term.
\u201cOur population is growing, Maryland is moving, and so I\u2019m really excited about going back in front of the people of my state and asking for another term,\u201d Moore said.
Armed with machine guns, balaclava-clad Russian soldiers burst into 16-year-old Vladislav Rudenko\u2019s home in southern Ukraine, forced him to get into a car and drove away \u201cin an unknown direction.\u201d
Vlad is one of thousands of children kidnapped by Russia as part of a systematic relocation and re-education campaign, in which young Ukrainians are sometimes forcibly adopted or sent to military training camps.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly raised the issue of the \u201cabducted children\u201d as a top priority, including in a meeting with Trump and several European leaders last month. The International Criminal Court has also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of the war crime and issued a warrant for his arrest in 2023.
Mykola Kuleba, the founder of Save Ukraine, a leading nonprofit humanitarian organization supporting people trying to secure the return of their children from Russia, insisted world leaders\u2019 \u201cfocus must remain on children, not just land.\u201d But as ceasefire talks stall, the fate of those kidnapped hangs in the balance<\/strong><\/a>.
Last spring, Aaron Rodgers took months to decide whether and where he would play during the 2025 NFL season.
Then the season began Sunday. And, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers immediately looked like the future Hall of Fame quarterback he is, leading a fourth-quarter drive<\/strong><\/a> to beat the New York Jets \u2014 his former team \u2014 34-32.
\u201cI love beating everybody, so it doesn\u2019t matter who it is,\u201d Rodgers said after the game. \u201cBut there were probably people in the organization who didn\u2019t think I could play anymore, so it was nice to remind those people that I still can.\u201d
I really am disappointed in how cruel this administration is to normal people. We don\u2019t buy a lot. Most of us never even went over the de minimis amount that was there already.
The end of the de minimis exemption is affecting the Korean beauty industry<\/strong><\/a>, with online shoppers saying they are getting hit with big, surprise fees on sunscreens, skin care, makeup and more.
