Partisan Differences in Rating Trump at Peak Level: 93% republicans approve, 1% Democrats
Partisan Differences in Rating Trump at Peak LevelNinety-three percent of Republicans approve of Trump’s overall job performance, compared with just 1% of Democrats, a 92-point gap. This ties the record for the largest partisan divide in Gallup’s presidential approval trends, first recorded in October 2020, right before the 2020 election.
The 1% of Democrats approving of Trump today matches their lowest approval rating for any Republican president, tying the figure recorded in June 2025. While strikingly low, this is on par with Democrats’ 2% approval rating of Trump in June 2020 and July 2025 and similar to their 3% ratings of George W. Bush in 2008 during the global financial crisis.
For comparison, Republicans’ lowest approval for any Democratic president was 2% for Joe Biden in several 2023-2024 polls.
Today’s partisan gaps in approval of Trump on the economy and foreign affairs are nearly as large as is seen for his overall rating, while the gap for his handling of education is a bit smaller. This is mainly owing to Republicans’ slightly lower approval of Trump on that issue, at 88%.
