You wouldn't know a fact if it crawled up your *** and died and Hunter Eagleman wouldn't either because he doesn't care about facts, he just wants to propagandize you, because he knows you'll spread his slop. Because you're not sane
The latest on Trump’s approval ratingUpdated May 6, 2026
Last week, Donald Trump’s net approval rating fell to a second term low of -18.8 after a tidal wave of new polling data was added to the average. This week has been comparatively slow, but still, pretty much every new poll is bad for Trump:
RMG Research: -15 net approval
Reuters/Ipsos: -30
Navigator Research: -18
The Economist/YouGov: -22
Even the -5 net approval result from InsiderAdvantage — a great result for Trump in a vacuum — looks less good given InsiderAdvantage’s strong Republican house effect. For context, their previous two polls showed Trump above water. All of this means that Trump’s net approval rating in the Silver Bulletin average works out to -18.4.
His numbers on the cost of living are even worse, at net -41.5. I’ve had to extend the y-axis of our issue approval chart multiple times over the past few months because the inflation number has been dropping so quickly. -EMD, 5/1/26

Irony always escapes you...Ill take voting results over flawed sham polls everyday. The fact you keep citing polls that have failed you over and over is insanely funny.You wouldn't know a fact if it crawled up your *** and died and Hunter Eagleman wouldn't either because he doesn't care about facts, he just wants to propagandize you, because he knows you'll spread his slop.

How popular is Donald Trump?
Silver Bulletin approval ratings for President Trump — and all presidents since Truman.
is it me or do all these poll numbers vary by the day? Realistically based on historic norms of previous presidents poll numbers (and I would guess they vary based on specific points of his administration) I'm kind of surprised his aren't lower = if we're using 38.7%
It's an average of ten recent polls with a couple at 34% approval. I'm seeing some talking heads talking about a new poll that shows 29% approval but I haven't seen it yet.
It matters for the mid-terms
The full cult is about 30% of voters. They are the ones where Trump could sexually assault their daughter and they’d find a way to justify it. They will never be moved. So his true floor is probably 30% (hence the 30% Dead Ender Club moniker - they’re on the ride until the boat sinks.
There appear to be between 5-10 percent or hardcore GOP and a few independents somehow clinging to the hope things turn around. But as we’ve seen; that number slightly falls with each subsequent poll.
He cares if Congress turns over and that's why he's pushing as many corrupt schemes as he can so that he won't have to answer to the voters. The polling shows that the voters are decidely against him, hence why it matters and why he's trying so hard to silence them.
You legit don’t think Trump cares about his poll numbers?
Must be your first day.
100%.
The lack of anyhing meaningful coming from the trip to China certainly won't help.
America was embarrassed yet again.
Midterms gonna be a bloodbath.
Interesting seeing the copium and denial offered in this thread from MAGA posters stop three weeks ago.
The Iran War could prove to be the albatross around Team Trump’s neck. Polls ebb and flow and it always seems in the end Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The longer this war goes on, though, and the worse the economy gets for average people, the less certain it will be for Team Trump candidates to win in November where there is a possibility of losing.
Tbh, the 2024 election should have been a landslide victory for Republicans given the unpopularity of Sleepy Joe Biden and the three major issues going into the election—economy/inflation, border security, and keeping chix with dix out of girls sports. All three of those heavily favored Republicans plus the obvious lie Democrats fed the media about Biden’s mental acuity being just fine did not sit well with a lot of voters either.
What happened was anything but landslide victories. Trump won pretty much all key battleground states but not by an impressive margin. IIRC, Trump didn’t even win 50% of the popular vote. Given all that was working against Democrats, Trump should have won the EC by something comparable to Reagan/Mondale 1984 if he were actually a decent candidate.
Republican victories in the US House and Senate were also pretty unimpressive. They gained four seats in the Senate by winning in Montana, Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania—not exactly traditional Team Blue states. When you factor in 19 seats held by Democrats were up for reelection in 2024 compared to 11 for Republicans, the net gain is even less impressive. Republicans already had control of the House and lost a net of one seat to maintain control.
Again, Team Trump should have won in landslides in 2024 if they were so popular. They weren’t. They were deemed just slightly less terrible than Kamala for reasons that had more to do with misogyny in some of Team Blue’s usual voting demographics (Black, Muslim, and Latino men) than anything else.
I have no idea how 2026 will go, although I highly doubt it’s going to be the massive Team Blue victory many on the left are talking about. If anything, it will probably confirm what we already know—the country is deeply divided with no one firmly entrenched on the right or left changing their minds and nonpartisan voters swinging against the party least popular come November.
BAU
He cares in the abstract but not in any practical sense. He’s not going to change anything to bring his numbers up. As far as he’s concerned, the people who don’t like him are just dumb.
BTW, did you know “dumb” has a “b” on the end? Not many people know that.

Let’s cool the jets and see what the bellwether Gallup Presidential Approval rating says. That was the OG and true most official one. For 88 years.
Oh wait. What was that?
Oh! Gallup cancelled this poll in February.
For no clear reason.
Huh.
