Dec. 11-25 net approval rating: Trump\u2019s 36% approval rating is unchanged from AP-NORC\u2019s November poll in its latest survey<\/a> of 1,146 adults conducted Dec. 4-8 (margin of error 4) and released Thursday, but his rating on the economy dipped to 31%, a low point for both terms. <\/p>\n

Dec. 19-16: Trump\u2019s approval rating ticked up to 41% from 38% in late November in the latest Reuters\/Ipsos poll released Tuesday, while his disapproval rating decreased from 60% to 57% (the poll of 4,434 U.S. adults was conducted Dec. 3-8 and has a two-point margin of error).<\/p>\n

The uptick coincides with an increase in his performance on the cost of living\u2014from 26% last month to 31% this month among all respondents, driven by a 10-point gain among Republican voters. <\/p>\n

Trump has sought to improve voters\u2019 views on his handling of the economy, kicking off an \u201caffordability tour\u201d Tuesday in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

-14 net approval rating: The New York Times\u2019s polling average<\/a> on Friday found Trump had a 42% approval rating and 55% disapproval rating after several weeks of declining support. <\/p>\n

The data shows voters increasingly disapprove of his handling of the economy\u2014net approval of his economic performance has fallen across surveys\u2014with just 26% percent of respondents believing Trump is doing a good job at managing the cost of living, according to a Reuters\/Ipsos poll.<\/p>\n

Trump has also seen faltering numbers from within his own party and one-time supporters: Only 75% of Republicans approved of his handling of the economy in November, down from 82% in July, according to Marquette University polling, and his approval rating among white, college-educated men has dropped to 40% from 47% in June, according polling from Fox News.<\/p>\n

Dec. 2-19: The Economist\/YouGov\u2019s weekly poll<\/a> of 1,628 U.S. adults taken Nov. 28-Dec. 1 found Trump has a 38% approval rating and 57% disapproval rating, the seventh straight week his net approval rating is -15 or lower (the survey has a margin of error of 3.2).<\/p>\n

In Trump\u2019s first term, his net approval rating never dipped to or below -15 for more than three consecutive weeks, YouGov noted. <\/p>\n

Biden had a -9 net approval rating at this point in his term and Trump had a -15 net approval rating at this point in his first term, according to Economist\/YouGov polling. <\/p>\n

Nov. 19-17: Trump\u2019s approval rating declined two points, to 39%, in the latest NPR\/PBS\/Marist poll compared to the groups\u2019 September survey, and his disapproval rating increased from 53% to 56% (the poll of 1,443 U.S. adults was conducted Nov. 10-13 and has a three-point margin of error).<\/p>\n

The poll also found Democrats have an advantage headed into next year\u2019s midterms, with 55% of respondents saying they were more likely to vote for the Democrat in their district, compared to 41% who said they would vote for the Republican candidate.<\/p>\n

Nov. 18-22: Trump\u2019s approval rating fell to 38% in the latest Reuters\/Ipsos survey released Tuesday, a two-point decline from its previous poll and a low-point for Trump\u2019s second term in the groups\u2019 weekly polls (the latest survey of 1,017 voters conducted Nov. 14-17 has a three-point margin of error).<\/p>\n

The poll also found just 20% approve of Trump\u2019s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, while 70% of all adults believe the government is hiding Epstein\u2019s alleged client list and 61% believe it\u2019s hiding information on his death. <\/p>\n

Nov. 13-18: Trump\u2019s 40% approval rating was unchanged from last week\u2019s Reuters\/Ipsos poll, while his disapproval rating increased one point, to 58%, according to the survey of 938 registered U.S. voters conducted Nov. 7-12 (margin of error 6).<\/p>\n

The poll\u2014conducted after Republicans lost crucial races in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City on Nov. 4\u2014also found a larger share of Democrats, 44%, are \u201cvery enthusiastic\u201d about voting in next year\u2019s midterm elections, compared to 26% of Republicans.<\/p>\n

Nov. 10-10: Trump\u2019s 44% approval rating is a low point for Morning Consult\u2019s weekly polling in the latest survey taken Nov. 7-9 of 2,201 registered U.S. voters, with a two-point margin of error, while 54% disapprove.<\/p>\n

Nov. 10-7: Trump\u2019s approval rating slid to a second-term low of 44% in the latest Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll<\/a> of 2,000 registered voters taken Nov. 4-6 (margin of error 1.99).<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s approval ratings on nine key issues the survey has asked about have slid below 50%, with his handling of crime and immigration receiving the highest marks.<\/p>\n

The Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll also found 75% oppose the government shutdown and 53% blame Republicans versus Democrats.<\/p>\n

Nov. 3A CNN<\/a> poll conducted by SSRS found Trump\u2019s approval rating dropped to 37%\u2014the lowest recorded by the network during his second term in office, but not quite as low as his 36% approval rating ten months into his first term.<\/p>\n

However, Trump\u2019s disapproval rating also reached 63%, one point higher than his 62% disapproval rating when he left office in 2021.<\/p>\n

When asked which party they would vote for in next year\u2019s midterm elections, Democrats maintained a small five-point lead ahead of Republicans among registered voters\u2014but a notably smaller advantage compared to the 11-point lead the party held over Republicans at the same point in 2017 before the 2018 midterms.<\/p>\n

Nov. 2Trump fared slightly better with a 41% approval rating and 59% disapproval rating in a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos<\/a> poll conducted in October.<\/p>\n

About 63% of respondents to that poll found Trump was \u201cout of touch\u201d with Americans\u2014but even more (68%) said the same about the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

41%. That\u2019s Trump\u2019s average approval rating so far during his second term, slightly higher than his 41% average approval rating throughout the duration of his first term, according to Gallup<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dec. 11-25 net approval rating: Trump\u2019s 36% approval rating is unchanged from AP-NORC\u2019s November poll in its latest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,12,451,3,452,453,86550,172047],"class_list":["post-343589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-donald-trump","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-trump-approval-rating","tag-trump-polls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
