Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- As President Donald Trump turns 80, new polling from Civiqs shows his net approval rating is negative in most states, including key battlegrounds, with margins weaker than at the start of his second term in January 2025.
- Deep-red Republican states remain his strongest base but with significantly reduced approval margins, while several swing states such as Florida, Ohio, and Nevada have shifted from positive or neutral to clearly negative net approval.
- Demographically, Trump faces the most disapproval among younger voters (18-34), independents, women, and those with postgraduate education, contributing to his weaker standing in more urban and competitive states.
- The largest declines in net approval are seen in states like Kentucky, Montana, Idaho, and Florida, where Trump initially had strong support but now faces substantial drops, indicating erosion in traditional Republican strongholds.
- The White House emphasizes Trump's 2024 election victory as a mandate and highlights ongoing efforts to implement his agenda, dismissing current polls as less relevant compared to the election outcome.
