New Polls Put Trump Underwater Nationally as GOP Support Softens

Weakness on core issues signals a harder path into the 2026 midterms.

Overview

  • Rasmussen’s conservative-leaning tracker hit a second-term low this week at 41% approval and 57% disapproval, reinforcing a broad net-negative trend across national surveys.
  • Quinnipiac reports 37% approval and 56% disapproval, with Republican net approval falling from +90 in October to +76 in early February, a notable intraparty dip.
  • Issue ratings deteriorated in the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, including on the economy, immigration and foreign affairs, while other surveys show most Americans now say the economy is getting worse.
  • Probability-based polls show Trump underwater with white voters, including Marquette (49% approve, 50% disapprove among whites) and New York Times/Siena (47% approve, 50% disapprove).
  • In a contrasting shift, ActiVote finds a rebound among Hispanic voters to 56% approval and 44% disapproval, even as Trump’s overall national standing remains negative.
