Trump Approval Rating Polls 'Bad Results' for President: Nate Silver

Trump’s popularity is likely to have a significant impact on the November 2026 midterm elections, with Democrats hoping to regain control of one of both of the Senate and House. If they succeed, Trump’s freedom to operate would be significantly curtailed for the final two years of his presidency.

If you want a reliable and accurate aggregation of polling, go to G. Elliot Morris’s (the guy who ran 538 after Silver was fired for allowing 538’s polling averages and projection model to be deliberately manipulated) new site, FiftyplusOne:

https://fiftyplusone.news/polls/approval/president

For example, Silver’s averages, which include the same kind of flawed and biased polls that manipulated 538’s averages in the 2022 midterms (and got him fired as a result), have Trump’s approval at 43.9%.

Morris’s averages, on the other hand, exclude those biased polls, and have Trump’s approval at a more believable 41.7%
