What is Trump's approval rating? See how it compares across states
President Donald Trump has picked on key states with the National Guard and redistricting battles. What is his approval rating in California, Illinois
www.usatoday.comHere are the latest state-by-state Trump approval ratings I can summarize for you.
Core takeaway
- Trump’s state-level approval ratings vary widely, with stronger support in several Deep South and Plains states and weaker support on the West Coast and Northeast. For example, several Southern and Mountain states show approvals in the 40s to mid-50s, while California and other coastal states sit in the 20s to 30s range. This pattern aligns with longstanding partisan divides in those regions.
Representative snapshots (recently reported ranges)
- Stronger support (approximately mid-40s to mid-50s): Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and similar. These typically show approvals around the mid-40s to upper-50s in different reports.
- Moderate support (roughly 30s to 40s): Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and several others across the Midwest and South. Approvals commonly fall in the 30s to 40s range in recent state tallies.
- Weaker support (roughly below 40): California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii, and several West Coast and Northeastern states. In these, approvals are often in the 20s to low 40s, with California frequently in the upper 20s.
Notes on sources and variability
- State-by-state ratings come from multiple polling outfits and aggregators, so exact percentages differ by source and date. Some outlets publish daily or weekly snapshots, while others provide longer-term averages. Because of this, you may see the same state listed with slightly different figures across sources. I don’t have a single definitive official state map, but the general pattern and direction are consistently reproduced across major outlets.
What I can do next
- If you’d like, I can pull the most recent state-by-state numbers from a specific outlet (e.g., a major polling aggregator) and present a clean list or a quick chart. I can also create a concise table comparing a couple of current sources side-by-side to show how the numbers shift by date.
Would you like me to fetch the latest figures from a particular source or generate a quick visual (e.g., bar chart) of the current state ratings? I can tailor to your preferred date range and outlet.
