Eye-opening new Trump approval ratings show what each US state really thinks of him 8 months into presidency
The results are in, and voters in two states have flipped from positive to negative rankings
Donald Trump’s latest approval rating scores are in, and two states have gone from giving the US President a positive grade to a negative ranking.
It’s fair to say the 79-year-old’s second term in office has been busy so far. Since returning to Washington D.C. in January, Trump has signed in a whopping 202 Executive Orders (E.O.).
These include everything from renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, banning transgender athletes from competing in female categories of sports, and establishing a White House Task Force to help plan the 250th anniversary of American Independence in 2026.
He’s passed the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’, asked MAGA supporters to donate money to ‘get him to heaven’, and recently told NATO if they didn’t stop buying oil from Russia, he’d brand them as ‘wasting’ the United States’ time and money.

Trump has also caused controversy with his slew of ever-changing Tariffs and has made an aggressive push on immigration, causing protests to break out across Los Angeles to resist the deportation.
2,201 registered US voters were asked to rate the Republican's time in office, and whether they believed he was doing a good job.
Answers were converted by a poll company, which revealed 45 percent of voters approved of Trump’s current job performance, while 52 percent disapproved.
Overview of Trump’s updated approval rating scores
25 states have given Trump a positive approval rating, according to three months' worth of polls gathered by Morning Consult.
These include Wyoming, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee. The latter is where Trump claimed on September 12 that he would be sending the National Guard next on his mission to crack down on crime.
Due to his scoring of an even zero in Arizona, it means 24 states, including Vermont, Virginia, and New Jersey, have rated him negatively.
Previously, North Carolina and Nevada gave Trump a positive approval rating in August. However, they were listed as switching to a net-negative approval in the latest Morning Consult report.
The update means that Georgia is now the only 2024 swing state with citizens who believe the businessman is doing a good job in his second White House Term.
