Donald Trump Approval Ratings Drop to 33-40 Percent

Donald Trump saw his public approval ratings decline to a range between 33% and 40% as of September 14, 2026. Data from several major national polls indicate a significant drop in overall popularity, with Quinnipiac University reporting the lowest figure at 33% and Ballotpedia recording the highest at 40%.

Other surveys from RealClearPolitics, The Economist/YouGov, Reuters/Ipsos, and CNN placed the president's approval between 35% and 39.3%. Despite these low national numbers, the president maintains steady support within the Republican Party at approximately 75%.

These figures highlight deep partisan polarization. While the president retains a firm base of support, he struggles to attract independent or opposition voters, a trend that may complicate future legislative and political efforts.
