Overview
- An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted Dec. 19–20 of 800 likely voters found 50% approval, 41% disapproval and 9% undecided, a net +9 that the pollster linked to Trump’s Dec. 17 address and recent inflation data.
- Gallup’s Dec. 1–15 national poll registered 36% approval overall and just 25% among independents, reflecting a broader sour public mood on the economy and national leadership.
- The latest Economist/YouGov poll taken Dec. 20–22 shows 39% approval and 57% disapproval overall, with Trump’s approval among Hispanic voters dipping to 28% from 38% the prior week.
- Polling averages from RealClearPolitics and the New York Times still show Trump underwater nationally at roughly 42%–44% approval and 53%–54% disapproval, highlighting InsiderAdvantage as an outlier.
- InsiderAdvantage and other polls continue to show strong Republican backing but weaker ratings among independents and many women, a dynamic with implications for the GOP’s narrow congressional majorities heading into the 2026 midterms.
