How Trump's Approval Rating Has Changed With White Voters This Summer
Recent polling points to weakening support for the president among a key part of his electoral coalition.
President Donald Trump's approval rating among white voters has experienced a significant decline since the start of summer, according to ActiVote polling. In June, 47% of white respondents approved of Trump's job performance, while 49% disapproved. By July, this had shifted to 39% approval and 54% disapproval. The August poll, based on responses from 1,000 ActiVote users, showed 40% approval and 54% disapproval.
This marks a change for a group that has consistently supported Trump, with 55% backing him in the 2024 presidential election, according to Pew Research Center. The decline in Trump's approval among white voters coincides with broader softness in his national approval ratings, with the latest Economist/YouGov poll finding 36% approval and 60% disapproval.
