Donald Trump Public Opinion Ratings

Donald Trump Public Opinion Ratings Lowest Since Polling Began In 1940, Except Before Richard Nixon Resigned In 1974!

Ronald 16 Comments

President Donald Trump’s Public Opinion ratings have reached an all time low, in the lower 30s, in all polling, the worst of any President since polling began in 1940, including his first term at the end, when Trump was impeached over the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection, and his ratings had collapsed.

Only when Richard Nixon was days away from resignation, due to the Watergate Scandal in the summer of 1974, were ratings lower.

This includes the low moments of all Presidents over the past 86 years, and clearly, Trump is in “free fall”, as the Midterm Congressional and Gubernatorial Elections of 2026 are now three months away from today.

Based on history of Midterm Elections, it would seem likely that Democrats would be favored to win control of the House of Representatives, and a reasonable possibility of also gaining the Senate majority, next month.

The most alarming statistic is that white voters without a college degree have turned strongly negative against Trump, and Latinos have also become extremely critical of Trump.

The “Affordability” issue (higher cost of living, specifically gasoline and food prices), the Iran War, and the issue of ICE abuses are the key matters that have led to this all time low, and with the likelihood that the bottom has not been reached.

The Growing Optimism About A Democratic Controlled US Senate In The 120th Congress (2027-2029)!

Ronald 5 Comments

We are still a bit more than four months until the Midterm Elections of 2026 take place in the first week of November.

But based on trends and public opinion polls, it is looking more likely that the Democratic Party will gain control of the majority of the US Senate for the 120th Congress (2027-2029).

These estimates are based on the collapsing public opinion polls for Donald Trump, due to the disastrous Iran War and the economic fallout that has occurred as a result.

It is also based on the irrational, unpredictable, and dangerous behavior and utterances of Donald Trump.

The Democrats need to keep their own Senate seats in Georgia, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Minnesota, and all of those seats seem safe, although as of this writing, Michigan and Minnesota have not yet settled contested party primaries, which will take place on August 4 and August 11 respectively.

Beyond defending their own seats, which seems likely, the Democrats now seem clearly ahead in:

North Carolina with former Governor Roy Cooper

Ohio with former Senator Sherrod Brown

Maine with Graham Platner

Alaska with Mary Peltola

Additionally, prospects look good in

Texas with James Talarico

Iowa with Josh Turek

Florida with Alex Vindman

Nebraska with Independent Dan Osborn

Just winning four of these eight races, and retaining the four seats they have, would insure a Democratic majority in the US Senate, and guarantee a changed situation politically for Donald Trump in his last two years in the White House.

Congressional Republicans’ Support Of Trump Splintering

Ronald 32 Comments

The sycophancy of Congressional Republicans, particularly Senate Republicans, toward Donald Trump is showing signs of splintering on a number of matters, further endangering the party as the Midterm Elections of 2026 come upon us in a little over five months.

Trump’s insistence of total loyalty of party members is wearing thin, as he alienated many by working against the renomination of Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy; endorsed Ken Paxton over Senator John Cornyn for the Texas Senate nomination that will be decided next week; and most divisive, his plan to set up a 1.776 Billion Compensation Fund, also termed the “Anti Weaponization Fund”, for so called victims of government “mistreatment”, including the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrectionists, who went to prison for their crimes, before being pardoned by Trump on Day One of his second term.

The willingness of many Republican Senators to be openly critical of the idea of paying insurrectionists and convicted criminals compensation, often in the millions of dollars, was made evident after a tumultuous two hour meeting with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Among those who were outraged were Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, Maine Senator Susan Collins, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, North Carolina, Senator Thom Tillis, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, and Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.

But also there are opponents of the proposed White House Ballroom; the proposed Triumphal Arch; and other spending on vanity projects that Trump has promoted.

With Trump’s public approval ratings reaching an all time low, and with the Iran War continuing without any end in sight, and the abuses of ICE and other government agencies and the horrors of so many Trump government officials, we are finally seeing a disintegration of party support for Trump.

The question is however how far will the revolt against Trump develop over the next months until November, and beyond.

Trump Public Opinion Ratings Collapse!

Ronald 78 Comments

The latest polls indicate Donald Trump is under water in most of the nation, with only a few states being positive toward him and his domestic and foreign policy agenda.

The states that show support of Trump include:

Wyoming
West Virginia
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Idaho
Tennessee
Indiana
Kansas
Mississippi
Alabama
Arkansas
South Dakota
Missouri
Nebraska
Kentucky
Louisiana

After these 16 states, Trump is very unpopular in 7 “battleground” states
including:

Arizona
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Michigan
Nevada
Georgia

And in crucial states, such as Ohio, Florida, Virginia,and even Texas, Trump is extremely unpopular.

He has lost Generation Z; Latinos; women; African Americans; highly educated voters; those with less than a college degree, and most significantly, Independents.

Trump Public Opinion Negatives At All Time High!

Ronald 52 Comments

The newly revealed Washington Post public opinion polls on Donald Trump mark an all time high of negatives on both the economy and foreign policy.

Disapproval numbers are as follows:

His job as President 62 percent
Cost of Living in the US 76 percent
inflation 72 percent
The Situation with Iran 66 percent
Relations with US Allies 65 percent
The Economy 65 percent
Taxes 61 percent
Immigration 59 percent
US Mexico Border Situation 54 percent
End to Birthright Citizenship 65 percent
Reductions in Federal Funding for Medical Research 78 percent
Raise Defense Budget from $1 Trillion to $1.5 Trillion 65 percent
End Temporary Legal Status For Migrants From Conflict Ridden Countries 59 percent
Trump’s Mental Acuity 59 percent
Trump’s Physical Health 55 percent
Trump Not Honest and Trustworthy 71 percent
Trump Does Not Carefully Consider Important Decisions 67 percent
Trump Not A Strong Leader 54 percent

Trump Cabinet
RFK Jr Net Negative 19
Kash Patel Net Negative 19
Pete Hegseth Net Negative 17
Vice President JD Vance Net Negative 13
Marco Rubio Net Negative 7
Jerome Powell Net Positive 7

However, Democrats still have problems having Americans trust them, with many voters feeling the party is too “liberal”, which makes the problem of who is the best candidate for Democrats in 2028 problematical.

Motivating Americans to vote, including millions who did not vote in 2024, will be the major issue that decides the Midterm Elections of 2026. And Independents, and young voters, will be crucial factors.

On a generic ballot, Democrats at present have a five point edge, but whether that will hold or expand in the next six months, is hard to project.

Trump’s Public Opinion Ratings Sinking, Now 33 Percent, And Losing Major Voting Groups!

Ronald 4 Comments

Donald Trump’s public opinion ratings are sinking, presently at 33 percent.

Major voting blocs are abandoning him, including Latinos, Asian Americans, and voters without a college degree.

Already, women voters have soured on him, and young voters of both genders are also disillusioned with him.

The rising gas prices, along with the Iran War, are causing a collapse, just as occurred 46 years ago for President Jimmy Carter, with the Iran Hostage Seizure and rising gas prices.

There could not be two Presidents more different than Carter and Trump, but they share this commonality.

More specifically, Trump has 32 percent support on Iran; 30 percent on the economy; and 23 percent on the cost of living, and 40 percent on his immigration policy.

Only in eight states does Trump have majority support—Wyoming, North Dakota, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho, Tennessee, Arkansas, and South Dakota. He is underwater in all of the “Swing States”, a troubling sign for the future, as he won all of those states.

And Trump has now reached a new low in public opinion ratings, lower than right after the US Capitol Insurrection on January 6, 2021, as he was about to leave office at the end of his first term, when he had a rating of 34 percent!

Collapsing Public Opinion Polls For Donald Trump In Almost All States!

Ronald 1 Comment

As the Iran War continues with overwhelming public opposition to the military effort; with gasoline prices soaring; with the Trump Cabinet being in a state of disarray; with vehement opposition to the tactics and strategies of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); with the Epstein Files issue still a center of contention; and so much more, we are witnessing collapsing public opinion polls for Donald Trump in almost all states.

Of course, in “Blue” states, they are dramatically lower, but even in most “Red” states, Trump’s ratings are under water.

The states with the lowest public opinion ratings include:

8 states between 19 and 29 percent—Hawaii, Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington, California, Oregon, Rhode Island

The remaining rankings of other states include:

15 states between 30 and 39 percent—New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Virginia, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania

17 states between 40 and 49 percent—Wisconsin, Alaska, Iowa, North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Texas, South Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana, Utah

10 states between 50 and 59 percent—South Dakota, Alabama, Montana, Tennessee, Idaho, Arkansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wyoming

So 40 of the 50 states are in their majority opposed to Donald Trump, with 23 states below 40 percent support.

Donald Trump’s Poll Ratings Hit All Time Low!

Ronald 74 Comments

Donald Trump’s public opinion poll ratings are hitting an all time low, as many Independents, moderate Republicans, Latino Americans, young voters, and women have soured on him immensely.

This is due to the Iran War; gasoline prices; growing antagonism toward his deportation policies; the refusal to come clean on the Epstein files; the continuation of the federal government shut down; his promotion of more glorification of himself to an obscene level, and so much else.

His public opinion rating overall is at 35 percent, and only 43 percent of Republicans are supportive of him, down from 52 percent in January. And in a new CNN poll, his rating on the economy is 31 percent, a new career low.

67 percent are unhappy with how Trump is handling major issues overall, and 63 percent are critical of his foreign policy actions.

Only 27 percent completely support all or most of his policies. And Trump is the only President never to reach 50 percent or higher in any Gallup Poll, with only Harry Truman at 22 percent and George W. Bush at 25 percent as Presidents who have had a lower overall ranking.

As State Of The Union Address Occurs, Donald Trump’s Ratings Are Rapidly In Decline!

Ronald 65 Comments

President Donald Trump is about to give his State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress this Tuesday, February 24, just as public opinion ratings demonstrate that he is rapidly declining in support among many voter groups.

As it is, his ratings have been, depending on the poll, as low as 36 percent positive, and at best 40 percent.

The issues of the economy (Affordability), the Epstein Files Scandal, the horrors of ICE, the Health Care cuts, and now, the Supreme Court rejection of his tariffs, are all weighing on him, as he lashes out at his critics, and has personally attacked the Justices who rejected his tariffs, particularly two of his own appointments—Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—along with Chief Justice John Roberts.

Also, Trump’s aggressive foreign policy is also alienating many voters, and his unstable rants and attacks on his critics alarm many Americans.

Various groups that made the mistake to support him in the Presidential Election of 2024 are turning strongly against him.

This includes:

White Women
Latinos
Working Class Non White Voters
Young Men
College Educated Suburban Voters

The strong Democratic gains in the off year elections in November 2025, and the gaining of seats in state legislatures and other offices in areas traditionally Republican in special elections, is also an alarm bell in the night for the upcoming Midterm Elections of 2026.

Even with mid decade redistricting occurring in Texas and elsewhere at Donald Trump’s insistence, the likelihood of Democrats taking back the House of Representatives majority, and even having a growing possibility of regaining the Senate majority, is seen as strong.

We are seeing Americans alarmed at the threat of interference by the Trump Administration on the issue of the right to vote, and attempts to restrict those who can vote.

This includes the fear that ICE might have agents at voting locations, which would be a massive threat designed to intimidate voters.

Massive Demonstrations All Over America After Alex Pretti Murder By ICE In Minneapolis!

Ronald 57 Comments

The tragic murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last Saturday by multiple ICE agents has led to massive demonstrations all over America.

The fact that there are multiple videos of the tragic event, taken by bystanders, has had the effect of neutralizing the arguments of the Trump Administration that this nurse, and also Rene Good a few weeks ago, were “domestic terrorists”, as claimed by Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and others.

It has also led, finally, to some Republicans in Congress expressing the need for a change in policy and actions by ICE, while many Democrats and the American people want ICE dramatically changed or eliminated, although the latter clearly will not occur.

A move is being made to stop funding for ICE by Senate Democrats, and hopefully, it will start a massive change in the ability of the agency to continue its dirty deeds.

Another government shutdown may occur on Friday, as the Trump Presidency is finally on its heels, as public opinion ratings collapse.
