President Donald Trump's approval rating is negative in the majority of states in America, as the president celebrates six months in office.
According to polling compiled by Civiqs, which compiled 39,770 responses in 50 states, Trump's approval rating is negative in 31 states and positive in 19 states.
Using this data, Newsweek has created a map to show the president's approval rating in every state.
Why It Matters
Trump's popularity has fluctuated in the first few months of his administration.
Policies in particular that have triggered discontent include cuts overseen by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump's immigration policies and tariffs policy. There was also opposition to his strikes on Iran and the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Other polls have suggested the One Big Beautiful Bill has not been met with widespread support.

With it being six months since Trump was inaugurated for the second time, it is a good time to look back at how his presidency is being received by voters. Sustained negative polling will impact his standing and the Republican Party more broadly in the November 2026 midterms.
What To Know
Trump's highest approval rating is in Wyoming, where he has a net approval rating of +35 percent. He is also favored in West Virginia (+31 percent), Idaho (+25 percent) and Oklahoma (+23 percent). In other states, his approval rating is underwater. Hawaii is the state where Trump commands the least support. His approval rating there is net -52 percent. In Vermont, it is at -46 percent. Trump is even seeing discontent in his home state of Florida, where his net approval rating is -3 percent.
Overall, across all states, the Civiqs polling found that 55 percent disapprove of the president while 41 percent approve of him.
Nationally, other polls suggest Trump is failing to court the support of the majority of voters. A Tyson Group poll, conducted June 25-26 among 1,027 U.S. adults, showed Trump at 45 percent approval and 51 percent disapproval overall.
However, according to polling by YouGov/The Economist, the president has a net approval rating of +80 from conservatives. This is similar to the levels it was at during the start of his second term.
He is also gaining more traction with Hispanic voters, a crucial demographic who traditionally support Democratic candidates, a poll has shown.
What People Are Saying
Richard Johnson, a senior lecturer in U.S. politics and policy at Queen Mary University of London in the U.K., previously told Newsweek: "Trump's approval rating has been pretty steady in the mid-40s since April. While this is technically net negative, it shows the president has a high floor of support. It's still a bit higher than Biden's ceiling after the end of his presidential honeymoon. From September 2021, Joe Biden's Gallup approval rating was never higher than 45 percent, with a low of 37 percent. In these polarized times, presidents should not expect poll numbers much above 50 percent but they also are unlikely to go as low as they did when, for example, George Bush sunk to approval ratings only in the mid-20s during his second term. Trump is far away from that."
What Happens Next
Trump's approval rating is likely to fluctuate in line with national and global events as well as the impact of his policies.
