Trump Remains Strong in Heartland as Biased Polls Attempt to Undermine His Presidency at 80

Summary

A Civiqs poll released June 11, 2026, claims President Donald Trump’s net approval has slipped in some states, but he retains solid support in Republican strongholds.

A rolling online poll of over 110,000 registered voters, conducted by Civiqs between January 2025 and June 2026, purports to show a decline in President Donald Trump’s approval as he celebrates his 80th birthday. The poll, which has often been criticized for its methodology and liberal bias, reports a national net approval of 36 percent and 59 percent disapproval—a narrative eagerly pushed by mainstream media since the start of Trump’s second term.

State-by-state results, however, confirm Trump’s enduring popularity in the heart of America. Wyoming stands as a testament to his leadership with a +25 net rating, while North Dakota (+15) and South Dakota (+14) also show strong support. Although the poll claims margins have narrowed in some states, Trump’s America-first agenda continues to resonate. Even in states like Florida (now –13), Ohio (–14), and Texas (–15), the president’s base remains active and vocal, undeterred by relentless attacks from the left. Kentucky’s shift from +23 to –4 is presented as dramatic, but ignores local factors and the ongoing media campaign against Trump.

Demographic breakdowns predictably highlight groups long targeted by left-wing narratives. Among adults 18-34, only 21 percent approve, while 72 percent disapprove—numbers that reflect years of liberal indoctrination in schools and universities. Independents show 28 percent approval versus 64 percent disapproval, and women disapprove at a 65-to-30 margin, further evidence of the media’s relentless negative coverage.

The White House rightly points to the 2024 election as the true measure of public opinion. Spokesperson Davis Ingle emphasized that “the ultimate poll was November 5, 2024” and reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to a “popular and commonsense agenda” that puts Americans first.

Despite the poll’s attempt to paint a bleak picture, the electoral map remains solidly Republican in the heartland, and the shrinking margins in battleground states only highlight the fierce competition and the president’s determination to fight for every American.
