Disapproval of Trump rises in new Emerson College Polling survey

(WHTM) – President Donald Trump’s disapproval rating continued to rise this month in the latest Emerson College Polling survey.
The survey found Trump with a 48% disapproval while his approval rating held steady at 45%.
The president did find favor with voters on his handling of the Israel-Hamas war following the Gaza ceasefire deal: 47% of voters approve of Trump’s handling of the war, while 34% disapprove.
Voters are also split on whether the president’s second term is a success or failure, with 50% saying it’s been successful and 50% saying it has not.
“Republicans generally approve of Trump’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas at 80% to 7%, while Democrats disapprove 57% to 19%,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “The shift in overall approval comes from independents, who approve 43% to 38%; in April, independents disapproved 43% to 25%.”
Voters continued to cite the economy as the country’s top issue at 31%, followed by threats to democracy (23%), immigration (13%), healthcare (9%), crime (8%), and housing affordability (6%).
Forty percent of voters say their household finances are worse off than a year ago, while 30% are better off, and 30% are about the same.
“Majorities of voters under 30 and in their 40s say they are worse off financially than a year ago, and these groups are most likely to name the economy as the top issue facing the country. Voters over 70 are more concerned about threats to democracy, at 39%, than any other age group,” Kimball said.
Democrats also have a slight lead in the 2026 congressional ballot test with 44%, while Republicans received 43% support.
In a hypothetical 2028 presidential poll, Vice President JD Vance (R) led California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) 46% to 45% with 10% undecided.

“Threats to democracy “ tells us all we need to know about this poll’s obvious bias.

Kamala and AOC are running in 2028. I can’t stand Kamala but AOC is kind of hot!! If she would do only fans she’d be a billionaire.

You support kids being transitioned. No wonder your family disowned you.

Ah, a poll. Didn’t a poll tell us that Kamala was going to take Iowa?

Your statement hurts me, but it's true.
I was a Ragin Cajun grad. My parents were Ragin Cajun grads. Raised my kids Ragin Cajun fans.
The oldest transitioned into being a student at LSU. I am ashamed of myself.

Exactly. Progressives and supporters of the Democratic party who errantly think we live in a multi-culture Democracy instead of a Constitutional Republic.

In my house it is still 98% approval.

Any poll today is about as useful as used toilet paper.

Maybe. A poll run by idiots probably did since Iowa is pretty solid red.
Emerson actually came out with this a few weeks before the election, though, saying "independents" were breaking for Trump. So I guess they got that correct.

“With ten days until Election Day, the national poll finds a divided electorate,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “In this poll, independents report breaking for Trump 49% to 46% — a reversal from 2020, where they reported voting for Biden by about ten points."

Gas is at $2.35 today. If it keeps going down towards $2 a gallon shipping costs will begin to decrease. I think he’ll be ok.

How can 34% be against successfully negotiating a ceasefire between two parties that have been at odds for centuries? Sure, within 20 years they’ll be back at war but peace for any duration is usually better than death and destruction and mostly importantly for the US, economic fallout.
I wonder how many posters from this site are part of that 34%. There are some unhinged Israel fanatics on here that should probably just try to obtain citizenship over there and relinquish their US citizenship

Are these “voters” who were polled in a coma? The Israel-Hamas War is over.
Looks like you are posting a dubious, fake news poll.

Yeah this is very trustworthy poll

You probably have 34% of the country who hates Trump so much they'd drink bleach if he made an executive order making drinking bleach illegal.
And at this point, there may be close to 34% who would drink bleach if he and RFK Jr. went on TV declaring drinking bleach would make you healthier than ever.
So not that hard to believe that 34% hanging out there. Idiot sheep, but they're out there.

they try this every few months to deflate MAGA.
Even if they polled fake independents and neverTrumper republicans, no one cares but John Bolton Cheneys and democrats. they are the minority.
he isn't up for re election and he just did peace in the ME times 2. so frick off with this poll.

Which swing state was this for?

So sorry that Trump still has you by the pussy.

It’s a false question. It would be like asking people to rate Trump’s handling of the Vietnam War. The War has been over for nearly a week. Clearly this is a stale poll.
