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 rating
Updated 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.

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.

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.

Highly rated pollster


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.

You legit don’t think Trump cares about his poll numbers?

Must be your first day.
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.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating is sitting at record lows across two national surveys released in early July, underscoring a sustained period of deep public discontent during his second term.

A new Economist/YouGov poll conducted between July 3 and July 6 among 1,603 U.S. adult citizens shows 35 percent approving of Trump’s job performance and 61 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating (those who approve minus those who disapprove) of minus 26—matching the lowest level recorded in that series in May 2026.

Trump’s net approval of −26 also matches the lowest point seen across his two terms and Biden’s presidency, according to YouGov.

A second poll, conducted online by Focaldata and released on July 6, reinforces the broader pattern.

It found Trump’s net approval rating at minus 23—also described by the pollster as an “all-time low” in its series.

35% of Americans are hopeless and it should physically hurt to be that stupid.

Isn't Trump going to get an approval ratings jump now that he's implored the "sympathy" vote after floating the story that Iran wants to assassinate him???

LOfreakingL...
Sounds more like something Netanyahu would tell him to keep bombing Iran.
