Trump Approval Rating by State 2024
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 by State
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.
