The latest approval ratings for President Donald Trump have revealed significant shifts in voter sentiment across the United States, with two states flipping from positive to negative ratings. As Trump’s second term continues, the president’s performance has sparked mixed reactions, with some states showing strong support, while others express growing discontent.
Trump’s Second Term Overview
Since his return to office in January, Trump has been busy, signing 202 Executive Orders (E.O.) on a range of issues, from renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, to banning transgender athletes from competing in female sports categories. He has also made headlines with his tough stance on immigration, his controversial tariffs, and a new push to challenge NATO on oil purchases from Russia.
Despite his busy term, a recent poll of 2,201 registered voters shows that 45% approve of Trump’s job performance, while 52% disapprove. This reflects a split in public opinion on his leadership and policies.

According to the latest data from Morning Consult, Trump has received a positive approval rating in 25 states. Notable states with strong support for Trump include Wyoming (62%), Idaho (60%), and West Virginia (60%). These states reflect Trump’s continued strength in more conservative areas.

Key Shifts in Voter Sentiment
The most notable shift has occurred in North Carolina and Nevada, which previously gave Trump a positive approval rating in August but have since flipped to a net-negative approval in the latest poll. This indicates that Trump may be facing growing opposition in swing states as the 2024 election approaches.
Additionally, Virginia and New Jersey have both seen declines in approval, with disapproval ratings now surpassing approval in both states. These declines reflect broader dissatisfaction in more moderate and liberal areas.
Conclusion
Trump’s approval ratings reveal a divided nation, with strong support in conservative areas and significant opposition in liberal-leaning states. While his policies and leadership continue to resonate with many voters, his approval numbers in battleground states and liberal regions suggest that he will face a tough road ahead in the lead-up to the 2024 election. As his second term progresses, it will be interesting to see how these numbers shift in response to his policies and the evolving political landscape.
