A comprehensive online poll of over 110,000 registered voters by Civiqs, conducted from January 2025 to June 2026, exposes the deepening unpopularity of President Donald Trump as he marks his 80th birthday. The national net approval languishes at just 36 percent, while a staggering 59 percent of Americans disapprove, highlighting the growing rejection of his regressive policies since the start of his second term.

State-by-state data underscores Trump’s shrinking base. While he clings to leads in a handful of ultra-conservative states, even these margins are eroding. Wyoming remains his last bastion with a +25 net rating, but North Dakota (+15) and South Dakota (+14) have seen support dwindle. Notably, states like Florida (now –13), Ohio (–14), and Texas (–15), which once supported him, have turned decisively against his administration. Kentucky, once a stronghold, plummeted from a +23 net rating in January 2025 to –4, reflecting widespread disillusionment.

Demographic breakdowns reveal Trump’s utter failure to connect with the majority of Americans. Only 21 percent of adults aged 18-34 approve of his presidency, while an overwhelming 72 percent disapprove. Independents, crucial for any legitimate mandate, show just 28 percent approval versus 64 percent disapproval. Among women, disapproval soars to 65 percent, further exposing the administration’s disregard for gender equity and progressive values.

Despite these damning numbers, the White House continues to hide behind the 2024 election result, with spokesperson Davis Ingle insisting that “the ultimate poll was November 5, 2024” and claiming the administration is delivering a “popular and commonsense agenda.” This denial of reality ignores the clear message from the American people: Trump’s reactionary agenda is out of step with the nation.

While the partisan map remains recognizable—Republican support in the heartland, Democratic strength on the coasts—the shrinking margins reveal a country increasingly rejecting Trumpism and yearning for genuine progress.
