Trump's net approval sinks to historic low of minus 22.4 in latest poll

Donald Trump’s net approval has dropped to minus 22.4 in the most recent Silver Bulletin tracker, marking the poorest rating for any president at this point in office since polling began in 1945. VoteHub’s September 23 average reports identical numbers, with 38% approving and 60.4% disapproving, confirming the steep negative balance. Data scientist Zachary Donnini highlighted that one outlet figure is more than ten points lower than both Trump’s first-term low and President Biden’s rating at a similar stage.

While the White House spokesman Davis Ingle praised Trump’s agenda and claimed historic progress on jobs and inflation, the polling data suggests a broad and entrenched opposition. The strong-disapproval segment shows a net rating of minus 29.4, indicating that many voters hold firmly negative views, whereas weak approval remains slightly positive. These trends could pressure Republican candidates in upcoming midterms, as swing voters may turn away and enthusiastic Trump supporters might be less motivated to vote. Nonetheless, experts caution that presidential approval is only one factor among many that shape district-by-district election outcomes.
