Disapprove: 44%
No Opinion/Undecided: 1%
Analysis by InsiderAdvantage Pollster Matt Towery: These results are not a surprise. Other pollsters who accurately polled election cycles where President Trump’s name appeared on the ballot have been showing his approval ratings moving into the fifty-percent plus range. Our last survey (conducted jointly with Trafalgar) was one of the first to show that Trump enjoyed a positive rating. But it also showed an unusually high percent of undecided respondents. As I noted at that time, a large undecided number means that opinion is shifting but has not consolidated. Since then those undecideds have moved heavily towards approval of President Trump’s job performance. Trump enjoys a positive rating from all age groups other than seniors. His support among other demographics are similar or above the level of supports seen in our final battleground poll of battleground states in 2024.
Additionally, InsiderAdvantage asked specific and separate questions for State Shield related to U.S. security and potential threats from foreign entities to the United States. The poll revealed that the vast majority of voters are concerned about foreign powers and specifically China. Respondents were concerned about an array of issues with the most significant issue that of potential manipulation of the U.S. supply chain and investments made in the United States. Respondents said they expect candidates in the 2026 cycle to “take a tough stand” on China and their leadership.
