A sweeping online poll of over 110,000 registered voters by Civiqs starkly illustrates the deepening unpopularity of President Donald Trump as he marks his 80th birthday. With only 36% of respondents approving and a staggering 59% disapproving, Trump faces overwhelming national disapproval, a clear indictment of his divisive and regressive policies.
State-by-state analysis underscores the erosion of support even in the Republican strongholds. While Trump clings to positive margins in deep-red states like Wyoming (+25), North Dakota (+15), and South Dakota (+14), these numbers have narrowed dramatically. States that once supported his reactionary platform—such as Florida, Ohio, and Texas—have now turned against him, with Florida at –13 and Ohio at –14, demonstrating a widespread rejection of his leadership.
The most dramatic declines are seen in Kentucky, which plummeted from a +23 net rating in January 2025 to –4, and in Montana and Idaho, both losing over 20 points. Even bastions of conservative support like West Virginia and Wyoming have seen their margins slashed, reflecting the growing disillusionment with Trump’s administration.
Demographic data reveal a resounding repudiation among the youth (21% approve, 72% disapprove), independents (28% approve, 64% disapprove), and women (30% approve, 65% disapprove). Higher education correlates with even stronger opposition, as only 25% of post-graduates approve while 71% disapprove, exposing the president’s appeal as limited to a shrinking, unrepresentative base.
Progressive states remain steadfast in their opposition, with Hawaii at –61 and Vermont at –56. Battleground states now hover near zero, signaling a volatile and uncertain political landscape that could spell disaster for Trump’s reactionary agenda.
Despite these damning numbers, the White House continues to ignore the will of the people, with spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissing the poll and clinging to Trump’s 2024 election win as supposed evidence of a mandate—ignoring the clear and growing majority demanding change.
