President Donald Trump secured a major legislative victory with the passage of his "Big Beautiful Bill" in July. See his latest approval rating polls.

Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

Some of the law’s key pieces will take effect later this year, while others will not be implemented until well after the midterm elections.
