George Gallup introduced presidential job approval ratings in the U.S. in the late 1930s to gauge public support for the president during their term. Approval ratings are determined by polling given to a sample of people.
Like most surveys, poll results may be inaccurate due to samples that self-select. However, statisticians generally accept the approval rating as a factual indicator of the people’s feelings about the president.
As of the 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump’s approval rating was 47.6% and his disapproval is at 49.0%.
Approval ratings vary greatly by state and indicate how a state voted in the 2020 Presidential Election. Since his inauguration in January 2017, President Trump’s net approval has decreased in every state. President Trump’s approval rating decreased in important states that he won in his 2016 election, including swing states and states that are consistently Republican in every election. The three key states Trump won in the 2016 election are Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, all of which had approval ratings under 50% before the 2020 election.
