President Donald Trump continues to have a negative job approval rating in several national polls.

Trump reportedly has a 43% approval rating and a 56% disapproval rating in the four-day Washington Post-Ipsos poll released on September 18, which showed a slight improvement from its last survey released in April reporting a 39% approval and 55% disapproval. The president is also reported to have a 43% approval and 54% disapproval in the latest New York Times poll, as well as an average of 46% approval and 52% disapproval, according to RealClearPolitics, which tabulates several national polling sites.

Last week, POLITICO reported that Trump's approval rating was slipping among Latino voters.

Trump is reported to have a -20 net approval rating among the Latino demographic, which shifts among subgroups. The president's favorability among male voters dropped from 52% in May to 47% in September, while younger voters -- another demographic that showed more support in 2024 -- declined from 43% in May to 33% in September.

Trump was also reported to have a -22 net approval rating for his economic approach, with 35% approving and 57% disapproving, a drop from the -17 net reported in a poll released by The Economist/YouGov earlier this month. The president had previously had a -9 net approval rating for his handling of the economy this far into his first term in 2021.

Trump is also reported to have a split approval rating among the 50 U.S. states, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult earlier this month. The president has a positive net approval rating in 25 states, which is two less than in August, having dropped below zero in North Carolina and Nevada.

Trump is reported to have his greatest support in Wyoming at a 62% approval rating; Idaho at 60% approval; West Virginia at 60% approval; South Dakota at 60% approval; and Alabama at 59% approval. Georgia is the only swing state to remain positive, while Arizona is reported to now break even.

Overall, Trump was reported to have a 45% approval rating and a 52% disapproval rating in the Morning Consult poll, which was conducted among 2,201 registered voters from September 6 to September 8.
