President Donald Trump (R-FL) holds a negative net approval rating in 47 of the 50 U.S. states [1].
These figures suggest widespread dissatisfaction with the president's performance. The trend creates a challenging environment for the Republican Party as it prepares for upcoming midterm elections.
According to recent projections, the president's overall net approval rating has fallen to -26 [2]. This decline indicates that a significant majority of the electorate views his current standing unfavorably across most of the country.
Only three states currently show a positive net approval rating [1]. The remaining 47 states show that more residents disapprove of the president than approve.
The slump extends into traditional strongholds. Data indicates that Trump has negative approval in at least 11 states that he carried comfortably during the 2024 election [3]. This shift suggests an erosion of support even among voters who previously provided a decisive mandate.
Political analysts said the data reflects a broad disconnect between the administration's goals and public perception. The loss of support in previously safe states could complicate GOP efforts to maintain legislative control during the midterms.
“Trump holds a negative net approval rating in 47 of the 50 U.S. states.”
The widespread decline in approval ratings, particularly in states won comfortably in 2024, indicates a potential volatility in the Republican base. If these trends persist into the midterms, the GOP may face significant hurdles in retaining seats in regions that were previously considered safe, potentially shifting the balance of power in Congress.
