Fresh national surveys suggest that approximately 60% of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s leadership, underscoring the deep political divisions that continue to define the country.
The findings, drawn from multiple recent polls, indicate that while Trump maintains strong support among Republican voters, overall national approval remains underwater. Analysts say the numbers reflect a polarized electorate where few voters remain undecided.
According to aggregated data tracked by FiveThirtyEight’s polling averages, Trump’s approval ratings have frequently hovered below 50%, often dipping significantly lower during periods of heightened controversy. While individual surveys vary, the broader trend has consistently shown more Americans disapproving than approving.
Recent polling from Pew Research Center similarly reflects a divided public, with strong partisan splits shaping perceptions of leadership, policy direction, and character.
Supporters argue that polling does not always capture voter enthusiasm or turnout strength. They point to Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party and his ability to mobilize large, loyal crowds at rallies.
Critics, however, contend that persistent disapproval numbers signal broader concerns about leadership style, rhetoric, and policy decisions. They argue that sustained negative ratings could become a political liability in competitive swing states.
