Key Points:
- As President Donald Trump turns 80, new polling from Civiqs shows his approval ratings have declined across most states, with net approval negative in many battleground states compared to the start of his second term in January 2025.
- Trump's strongest support remains in deep-red Republican states, but margins have significantly narrowed, with states like Kentucky, Montana, and Idaho showing the sharpest declines.
- Key swing states such as Florida, Ohio, Nevada, and Pennsylvania have moved from positive or neutral net approval ratings to negative territory, indicating increased challenges for Trump in competitive areas.
- Demographically, Trump is least popular among younger voters, independents, women, and those with postgraduate education, contributing to his weaker standing in more urban and educated states.
- The White House emphasizes Trump's 2024 election victory as the ultimate measure of support, asserting that his agenda is beginning to take effect despite the polling trends.
