President Donald Trump is reported to have set a new record for voters who strongly disapprove his job performance at 46%, polling expert Eli McKown-Dawson wrote in the latest edition of Nate Silver‘s Silver Bulletin blog published on Tuesday (February 10).
“The share of Americans who strongly disapprove of Trump broke 46 percent for the first time yesterday. Trump (-13.7) also has a lower net approval rating than [former President] Joe Biden did at this point during his term (-12.2),” McKown-Dawson wrote.
Trump is reported to have a -13.7 net approval rating, which was an improvement from his -14.6 net approval one week prior.
“That change in trajectory is driven in large part by a few of this week’s releases, which are more favorable for Trump (to varying degrees) than the average poll,” McKown-Dawson wrote. “TIPP showed Trump with a -11 net approval, and Harvard/HarrisX has him at -6. The biggest outlier (by far) was InsiderAdvantage, which showed Trump with a positive net approval rating (+1).”
Trump was reported to be losing support among white voters, according to a recent Marquette Law School Supreme Court poll. The survey, which was conducted between January 21 and January 28, shows that a majority 50% of white non-Hispanic respondents either strongly disapprove (40%) or somewhat disapprove (10%) his job performance compared to a combined 49% who either strongly approve (23%) or somewhat approve (26%).
The 49% approval is still higher than most other races and ethnicities, with the president scoring a combined 22% among Black non-Hispanic respondents; 30% among Hispanic respondents; and 37% among ‘other’ respondents. A 55% majority of white voters cast ballots for Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, which was identical to the share in his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden and 1% higher than his 54% in his 2016 victory against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
