President Donald Trump's approval rating declined after signing the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' into law this past weekend, according to the latest Morning Consult Pro survey released on Monday (July 7).

Trump was reported to have a 45% job performance approval rating, which was down 2% from the previous week after seeing a brief increase following the United States' strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities last month and a 52% disapproval rating, which was a 2% increase during that same time frame. The president's -7 net approval rating is reported to be just shy of the record low for the survey, which was matched two weeks ago after initially being set in late April.

"Trump’s approval ratings ticked back down as he signed the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law over the long weekend, erasing his popularity gains that followed U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities last month," the Morning Consult wrote on its X account Monday.

Last week, Trump's approval rating was reported to have seen a significant shift in what is considered to be the 'most accurate poll.' The president was reported to have a 44% "favorable" rating and a -1% net rating in the latest I&I/Tipp Insights poll for the month of June, having previously scored a 42% approval rating and a -5% for the month of May.

The I&I/Tipp Insights poll, which has a +/-2.7% margin of error, was recognized as the most accurate poll as it was the only one to correctly identify the winner in each of the last six presidential elections and has accurately predicted results while bucking trends of other polls. Trump was otherwise reported to have dropped to his lowest approval rating among independent voters of any point in his second presidential term, according to Decision Desk HQ.

The 940-page 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' includes tax cuts, a funding boost for immigration enforcement and Medicaid cuts, as well as other provisions. The bill was being raced by Republican politicians aiming to meet a self-imposed July 4 deadline.
