Fresh Numbers Show What People Really Think
The latest YouGov approval ratings reveal a complex national mood, with the president’s overall approval falling to 41% and disapproval rising to 52%.
While Republican support remains robust at 82%, the president is struggling with independent voters. Only 32% of independents currently approve of his performance.
The state-level data shows further challenges, with approval dipping below 50% in Ohio. For the first time in years, his rating has also slipped in the key state of Florida.
Suburban voters, a crucial demographic in the 2024 election, are now showing clear signs of fatigue with the administration. Critics attribute the decline to trade disputes, tariff hikes, and ongoing media battles.
Supporters counter that the president’s policies on immigration, energy, and the economy are creating lasting, positive change. The president himself dismisses negative polls as unreliable.
He maintains that jobs, wages, and national security are improving, defending his combative style by stating, “You don’t fix a broken country by whispering.”
Despite the declining numbers, the president continues to draw large rallies and enjoys unwavering loyalty from his base. This suggests his influence remains a powerful force in American politics, even as analysts warn these ratings are important signals for markets and future elections.
