Map Shows Trump's Approval Rating in Each State After 17 Months
Key Points:
- New polling from Civiqs shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating at 37% nationally with 58% disapproval, leaving him with a net approval of -21 after 17 months into his second term, reflecting weaker margins across nearly all states compared to his initial ratings.
- Trump remains strongest in Republican-leaning states like Wyoming (+24) and North Dakota (+19), though even these have seen significant declines from the start of his term, with some states like Kentucky dropping from +23 to neutral.
- Swing states critical to national elections, including Florida (-11), Ohio (-13), and Pennsylvania (-15), now show Trump underwater, marking a shift from earlier positive or neutral standings and signaling potential impact on the 2026 midterm elections.
- Demographic data reveals persistent opposition among younger voters, independents, women, and postgraduates, contributing to Trump’s struggles in competitive and urban states, while Democratic strongholds remain deeply negative with little change.
- The White House dismisses the polling as less relevant, emphasizing Trump’s 2024 election victory and nearly 80 million votes as evidence of continued public support for his administration’s agenda.
