Why it Matters
Trump’s popularity is likely to have a significant impact on the November 2026 midterm elections, with Democrats hoping to regain control of one of both of the Senate and House. If they succeed, Trump’s freedom to operate would be significantly curtailed for the final two years of his presidency.

The United States is now 13 days into a partial government shutdown, with Senate Democrats refusing to pass a continuing resolution unless it extends health insurance subsidies.

What To Know
Silver and his team publish a polling average for Trump that uses “almost all polls,” which are then weight based on “their methodological standards and historical accuracy.”
The most recent polling average, published on October 12, found 43.9 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s performance as president while 52.3 percent disapproved, giving him a net result of -8.4.

Silver’s polling average also found Trump had a negative approval rating on four key policy areas, though there was considerable variation between them. On immigration, Trump has a net rating of -4.7 percentage points, for the economy it was -15.3, for trade it was -16 and -27.7 was recorded for inflation.

Of all four issued, Trump’s approval has fallen substantially since June 1 according to the polling average, when it was a positive 2.5 percentage points on immigration. June 1 also gave Trump a net rating of -9.6 on the trade, -11.3 for the economy as a whole and -17.5 on inflation.

Silver described these results as “bad” for Trump, adding that on the economy he is “substantially less popular than his term one approach.”
