Trump Approval Rating

Trump continues to put up impressive approval numbers.

Democrats have no message and they are the party of lies and deceit.


Mid terms will be interesting. Democrats better pivot to the middle if they want any chance at being competitive.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has improved slightly since the end of April due in part to a lower-than-usual volume of new polls. But that trend reversed over the past few days. He’s 14 points underwater in the latest American Research Group poll, 5 points underwater in the latest Civiqs poll, and 8 points underwater in the latest YouGov/Economist poll. But overall, most pollsters show little change in Trump’s approval rating over the last month.

Where does that leave the average? Trump ends the week with a net approval rating of -5. That’s down from -4.3 earlier this week, but still better than his low of -9.7 on April 29th. -EMD, 5/23/25

"Rasmussen Reports' credibility as a polling organization has been a subject of debate, with its accuracy and bias drawing significant scrutiny, particularly in recent years. Here's a breakdown:

Bias:
  • Generally considered right-leaning:Ad Fontes Media rates Rasmussen Reports as "Strong Right" in terms of bias. Many analyses, including those by FiveThirtyEight, have noted a "house effect" in Rasmussen's polls that tends to favor Republican candidates.

  • Question wording concerns: Critics have pointed out that Rasmussen's question wording can sometimes be designed to elicit responses that support conservative viewpoints.
  • Embracing false claims: In recent years, Rasmussen has been criticized for promoting right-wing conspiracy theories, especially concerning topics like COVID-19 vaccines and election results. This has led to concerns that it has transitioned from a public opinion quantifier to a "purveyor of propaganda."
Accuracy and Methodology:
  • Mixed track record:Rasmussen had a strong reputation for accuracy in earlier presidential elections (e.g., 2004 and 2008). In the 2016 election, Real Clear Politics noted Rasmussen as having the second-most accurate poll for electoral college results and the most accurate for popular vote results.

  • Declining accuracy and exclusion from major aggregators:However, its accuracy has been questioned in more recent elections. FiveThirtyEight, a prominent poll aggregator, dropped Rasmussen from its polling averages and analysis in 2024, citing its failure to meet updated standards for pollsters. In 2010, FiveThirtyEight concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate among major pollsters, with a pro-Republican bias.

  • Methodology concerns:Rasmussen utilizes a combination of automated telephone inquiries (robocalls) and online surveys. Automated polling methods have been observed to sometimes favor Republicans compared to live interviewer polls. Rasmussen is also not a member of the National Council on Public Polls or a supporter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research's Transparency Initiative.


  • Problematic data and questionable reporting: Instances of questionable data reporting (e.g., percentages adding up to over 100%) and polls released months after an election claiming to reflect voter sentiment at the time have been noted.
Overall:

While Rasmussen Reports has had periods of accurate polling, its more recent history is marked by a strong partisan bias, concerns about its methodology and question wording, and a willingness to engage with or promote content that aligns with right-wing narratives, including misinformation. As a result, its credibility has significantly diminished in the eyes of many independent polling analysis organizations.

Very weak sauce as usual. Rasmussen is professional and one of the best. Your main deal is just attack the messenger.

I gave you the results of multiple messengers from two different poll aggregators but you only pay attention to one messenger. Very weak sauce to dismiss the other messengers. It's almost like you only care about the ones that say what you want to hear.

Really? You of all people talking about credibility.....lmao
 
I'll take this one for my conservative friends!

MSM source? ✅
Author with clear TDS? ✅
Part of witch hunt by dems against Trump? ✅

Then proceed to link 8 Twitter posts by alt right Russian bots as to why trumps approval rating is actually 99.99% favorable and the .01% dissenting are mentally ill.

Did I do that right for yall, Maga bois?
 
Worst approval rating after 1 month any president has ever had. Americans haven't felt the force of President Musk's cuts yet either. It'll be in the absolute tank if/when they start slashing entitlement benefits, IRS refunds are heavily delayed, tariffs drive prices up, etc etc. The Fed meets in about a month and with the way inflation and economic indicators or going, I bet we get rate increases.
Pretty much wrong on every measure so far.
 
Trump approval rating about to surpass Obama’s high water mark from his first term.

America strongly supports Trump and his battle for law and order.

He is delivering results on the top two campaign issues.

That's a good thing and expected from the liberal left. Y'all lost, deal with it, and stop grasping. At least you have 2028 to look forward to unless your party succeeds in destroying our great country which is TBD. I wouldn't bet against the greatest President of our generation though. Meanwhile keep on posting your silly polls and memes, if it makes you feel better. Also keep up the name calling, so childish.

This board is pure entertainment for me and many others. We aren't the ones trying to destroy America. I can't speak for all non liberals on this board, but reading the liberal posts on this board only solidifies that I'm glad I'm on the opposite side. My Christian beliefs are not aligned with everything DJT does or has done. However, I truly believe that he is in this position for a reason and loves our country. I'm sure you disagree and that's your right.

Ouch at the new AP-NORC poll. 60% disapproval....is that bad?

🕒 The latest

Updated June 13, 2025

How is Donald Trump doing in the polls? Worse than he was at the start of the week, primarily due to a string of very negative polls. His approval rating was 16 points underwater in the latest Quinnipiac poll and 13 points underwater in today’s Navigator Research poll. And the June AP-NORC poll shows Trump with a net approval rating of -21. That’s Trump’s worst poll of his second term, and the first time his second term disapproval rating has hit 60 percent.

Approval of Trump’s handling of immigration has also fallen since the start of the week: from +4.6 to -2.1. Why? He’s well underwater on the issue according to new polls from The Washington Post (-15 net approval), Quinnipiac (-11), and AP-NORC (-7). But there’s some disagreement here. Polls conducted around the same time by J.L. Partners (+9), YouGov (+4), and Morning Consult (+9) have Trump solidly above water on immigration. -EMD, 6/12/25
