Polls Reveal Trump's Approval Rating Among White Voters

Polls Reveal Trump's Approval Rating Among White Voters

People who study news want to know what Americans think about their leaders.

One way to find out is called a poll, which asks many people questions and counts their answers.

A news company called CNN did such a poll asking white voters what they thought about a leader named Trump.

An approval rating shows how many people like someone minus how many people do not like them.

Trump's rating with white voters started at zero in July 2025, meaning just as many people liked him as did not.

Over the next year, the number mostly went down, hitting negative 7 in October 2025.

It briefly returned to zero in April 2026 before falling again.

By July 2026, the rating had dropped to negative 20.

A negative number means more people did not like Trump than liked him.

The poll shows that over time, fewer white voters approved of Trump.
