The president’s net approval rating is -17%, down 2.6 points since last week.
39% approve, 56% disapprove, 4% not sure
How are people seeing Donald Trump on those issues?
He’s even underwater on crime and immigration.
This is something I’ve been wondering about:
Using YouGov’s data, The Economist has projected Mr Trump’s approval rating state by state. As you might expect, approval of Mr Trump is lowest in states that tend to vote for Democrats and highest in those that tend to vote for Republicans. Mr Trump’s voters still overwhelmingly approve of his performance as president. But the projection also shows how dissatisfaction with Mr Trump is widespread even in states that voted for him just a few months ago. The numbers will make anxious reading for Republicans facing competitive races in next year’s midterm elections.
Here is the country as a whole:
Note that the Biden 2020 to Trump 2024 states are not happy with him.
Here are just the people who voted in 2024:
That looks a little bit better for Trump. But I would invite you to look at the swing states GA, NC, PA, NV and AZ. And take a look at Texas.
Why is Texas unhappy? Well:
Donald Trump is a dramatically unpopular president and he’s living in a bubble that tells him he is extremely popular and everything is going perfectly whole surrounded by people who are carrying out his every daft order while consolidating their power and carrying out their own wish list.
I’m not entirely sure how much public opinion matters anymore but at least we know we aren’t crazy.
