President Trump's approval rating by state entering October 2026

Donald Trump speaks to reporters after arriving aboard the Marine One helicopter on his South Lawn helipad at the White House in Washington, D.C.

The midterm elections are a month away. They will determine the way the Senate and House are structured for the final two years of Donald Trump's current presidency. The numbers have not been favorable to the 47th president for a long time.

State by state, the numbers continue to decline, with reports showing a 60% disapproval rating for the president. The number of people who approve of President Trump is job hovers at 34%. That leaves 6% without an opinion either way.

Call it the price of oil, gas, food at the supermarket, or healthcare. Whether it's the overall economy or any number of issues as Nov. 3 approaches, it will be intriguing to follow each election's path and whether dissatisfaction with the executive branch affects the results.
