A president’s approval rating is a key indicator of how the public views him. Donald Trump’s latest ratings in Georgia and Texas show that voters aren’t impressed with the president’s actions. His approval ratings are underwater in Florida, where the president resides, and Texas. During the presidential elections, the president carried both Florida and Texas efficiently. His approval ratings have plummeted, suggesting Republicans in both states could face troubled waters.
Trump’s Texas Approval Ratings Drop
The Civiqs poll shows that the president’s net approval in the Lone Star State was -3 points back on May 7; 47% approved of the job he was doing, and 50% disapproved. According to the new poll, his approval rating in Texas has been underwater since late March, and it sank even lower in April after he announced his “Liberation tariffs.”The latest polls also showed that Texas Republicans still supported the president. Ninety percent said they approved the president’s actions, and 6% did not. With Democrats, 97% disapproved of Trump and only 2% approved him.
49% Disapprove of Trump in Florida
In Florida, the Civiqs poll showed the president’s net approval rating was -1 point on May 7, with 48 percent approving of his job and 49 percent disapproving. Republicans in Florida still approve of Trump. Democrats have overwhelmingly disapproved of Trump’s actions. With Democrats, 2% approved of the president and 97% disapproved.
Low ratings in 3 Other Swing States
Florida and Texas aren’t the only states where his approval ratings have plummeted. The ratings are also underwater in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan swing states. The president used his social media platform, Truth Social, to try to refute the poll results.”The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE! We are doing GREAT, better than ever before.” “A lot can still happen, although the chances of a significant increase in approval ratings for Trump are dim… Low early approval ratings indicate midterm losses for the president’s party,” said presidential historian Allan Lichtman.
Conclusion
“The overall picture for Trump in these polls is not pretty. Even if some shifts appear insignificant, the trend lines suggest the president’s approval is dropping in almost every state and nationally as a whole,” said Costas Panagopoulas, a political science professor at Northeastern University.“Trump’s approval has dropped precipitously in key states that voted for him, like Texas and Florida, which can concern Republicans. There’s almost no sign of good news for Trump in these polls,” added Panagopoulos.
