Polls

Washington Post -  Overall, 41 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Trump is doing, while 59 percent disapprove. That level of disapproval is the highest in a Post-ABC poll since January 2021, a week after the attack on the Capitol. Trump’s support among self-identified Republicans remains strong at 86 percent, while 95 percent of Democrats disapprove. Among independents, Trump’s approval rating is 30 percent, while his disapproval mark is 69 percent.

Across eight issues that include the economy, immigration, tariffs, managing the federal government, crime, and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, most Americans say they disapprove of how he is handling each of them. The narrowest disapproval among these is on the situation with Israel and Gaza, but still a 52 percent majority say they disapprove.

Newsweek -   President Donald Trump’s job approval rating among white voters has fallen to the lowest point of his second term, according to a new poll.

The Economist/YouGov survey found 47 percent said they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 50 percent disapprove, putting Trump’s net approval rating at -3 points.

White voters have long been a crucial pillar in Trump’s political base and are generally the most likely to approve of his job performance. More than 8 in 10 Trump voters in the 2024 election were white, according to The Associated Press.

Axios - On Shutdown Day 33, an NBC News poll — consistent with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll this past week — finds more Americans blame President Trump and the GOP for the shutdown than blame Democrats.

• "The groups most likely to blame Trump and Republicans … include core Democratic constituencies like self-described liberals, young voters, those in urban areas, Black voters and higher-educated voters," NBC reports. "Those blaming Democrats include self-identified MAGA supporters, white men, and rural and older voters."
