What the Evidence Shows

Recent aggregated polling data from several reputable sources consistently indicate that President Donald Trump's approval ratings are underwater in the seven major swing states he carried in the 2024 election: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Arizona. Newsweek's analysis explicitly states that Trump's approval rating is below 50% in all these states.newsweek.comnewsweek.comDonald Trump’s Approval Rating Underwater In All 7 Swing States %%page%% %%sep%%...

Morning Consult data further confirms that Trump holds a positive net approval rating only in Georgia among these swing states, with even or negative ratings elsewhere. Pew Research Center reports a nationwide unfavorable view of Trump at 58%, which aligns with the state-level trends. Other sources like The Economist and YouGov track similar downward trends in Trump's net approval ratings during this period.pewresearch.orgpewresearch.orgAmericans view Trump, Vance and congressional leaders in both parties more...pro.morningconsult.compro.morningconsult.comTrump Approval Rating Polls: All 50 States+2 more

While some demographic groups such as Gen Z show improved approval, this does not offset the overall negative net ratings in these critical states. Therefore, the evidence strongly supports the claim that Trump's net approval is negative across all the swing states he won in 2024 as of late 2025.newsweek.comnewsweek.comDonald Trump’s approval rating dramatically shifts with Gen Z
